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.
