New Dietary Supplement with Organic Olive Pulp
Olivenol, a new dietary supplement from the pulp of organic olives, works on the
same theory that has been sustaining healthy lifestyles in the Mediterranean for
thousands of years. Consuming olive oil is healthy because of its high concentration
of antioxidants, which discourage chronic diseases and artery clogging. Olivenol
is currently the only dietary supplement to provide the antioxidant benefits of
olive oil in an easy-to-take tablet without the calories.
Olivenol contains a natural olive polyphenol with the highest natural level of
free radical protection activity ever reported. One tablet of Olivenol is equivalent
to 4-6 ounces of extra virgin olive oil, and it is made only from fresh, organically
grown olives. This combination promotes joint health, skin wellness, immune system
balance, antimicrobial activity, cardiovascular wellness and the reduction of
oxidative stress and cholesterol.
