According to the FDA, adding approximately 2 tablespoons (25 ml) of olive oil to your daily diet may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Fortunately for Heart-Smart consumers and Mediterranean Diet fans, now there is OLIVENOL(R), a dietary supplement that provides the benefits of extra virgin olive oil in an easy-to-take capsule. OLIVENOL contains super-antioxidants, which are associated with lowered LDL (“bad cholesterol”) levels. “OLIVENOL(R) provides health benefits associated with the consumption of extra virgin olive oil — and the Mediterranean Diet — in a pill,” says Dr. Roberto Crea, CEO and Founder of CreAgri, Inc. “It also contains the super antioxidant HIDROX(R), CreAgri’s patented formulation of hydroxytyrosol, which is the natural olive polyphenol with the highest level of free radical protection activity ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound.”
Studies show that powerful antioxidants may reduce not only the risk of coronary heart disease, but also the risk of cancer. According to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2002; 56:114-120), adults who consumed 25ml (nearly 2 tablespoons) of virgin olive oil daily for one week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood. Antioxidants like HIDROX(R) also help prevent oxidative tissue damage caused by free radicals as well as oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which leads to hardening of the arteries, a pre-condition of heart disease.
