Barlean’s Olive Leaf Complex Throat Spray and Full Spectrum Liquid is exactly what we need in today’s uneasy environment. A healthy immune system is your most treasured asset, and you need to do everything in your power to maintain it. With a natural array of protective polyphenols, particularly oleuropein, olive leaves are a centuries-old source of healing and restorative powers, and you can harness this resource for your well-being. Scientific advances have shown that there are at least 30 distinct polyphenols in olive leaves. The full spectrum gives a synergistic effect greater than any individual isolated compound on its own, including oleuropein, which is why the most bio effective olive leaf preparations are made directly from whole leaves, which work together to maximize the health benefits.
Barlean’s has been able to create two restorative products from this substance:
Barlean’s Olive Leaf Complex Full Spectrum Liquid is available in peppermint and offers the following benefits:

Clinical Studies
Over 100 years ago, oleuropein was first isolated by scientists, who found it improved immune functions and offered powerful antioxidant protection. But only recently have researchers tapped into the olive leaf and its immune-protective effects outside of a test tube. In a landmark double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study, researchers established the immunity-enhancing properties of the olive leaf. From this work, Barlean was able to create two olive leaf-based treatments.
This important study surveyed 29 healthy men, and in their findings, the researchers concluded that olive leaf extract can change the response of a type of white blood cells called peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This class of immune cells includes T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, and monocytes. In this trial, olive leaf deactivated the response that causes immunity to go awry while activating the response that promotes harmony in the immune system.
According to the researchers, this was one way to explain the noted health outcomes associated with the herb. That is, it contributes to the reasoning that people support seasonal wellness by taking olive leaf extract. We already know about olive leaf’s natural protective antioxidants, but this trial further builds the case for its health benefits and continues to establish its viability as a healthy super-boost to your immune system.
Olive trees are known for their resilience, sometimes living to 1,000 years, and olive oil has long been considered a part of healthy cooking and eating habits. Olive leaves too have been used medicinally for centuries. With Barlean’s, you can take advantage of this ancient ingredient, but with modern innovations, to maintain your health and well-being.
