An Ancient Substance Emerges As A Significant Force Among Natural Supplements For Men

By Lucille Lamb


In the fitness products manufacturing sector there appears to be a major trend towards the consumption of products from more natural sources. With regards natural supplements for men this is also becoming an important issue.

It seems as if consumers have realized the awesome power of nature and wish to harness some of this into daily dietary regimes. Well there are no shortage of products in this very competitive market, but as with most things in life do all these supplements do what they say on the box?

There is an ancient product from natural origins that seems to be causing some effect amongst men. The product in question is olive leaf extract. It has been revealed in some tests that this uncomplicated, one might say juice, has been found to be a strong anti-fungal, antiviral and antibacterial agent. A fact particularly interesting in current times as health care professionals discover that more and more bacteria have become resistant to normal antibiotic medication.

One issue facing the health care industry is that infectious organisms have, over time, mutated to such a degree they now are capable of withstanding conventional antibiotics. An additional worry is that there is little chance of new antibiotic treatments arriving onto the scene anytime soon. Although in use for hundreds of years in limited locations, extract of olive leaf may begin attracting new significance.

The health benefits of the extract are so numerous that they might fill an entire publication on their own. For this reason only a few more significant will be discussed. First on the list is role played in preventing infections from increasing forms of pathological microorganisms such as parasites, viruses, fungi, , retroviruses, bacteria, yeasts and moulds. What is good to know is that the persistent common cold and flu fall within this category.

Second, and particularly of interest in the face of increasing cardiovascular system problems, is the increased elasticity in arteries and resulting improvement of blood flow. The positive knock on effect that this has on hypertension and other circulatory disorders may be of huge potential.

Thirdly sufferers of arthritis may also benefit as the product has been found to provide relief to joints inflamed by this illness. Additional conditions for which the tincture may provide relief are production of free radicals, parasitic and yeast based ailments, chronic fatigue syndrome. A common result amongst users was reports of feeling more energetic and general well being.

There is no great chemical or pharmaceutical breakthrough with olive leaf extract. It was first used for medicinal purposes during Egyptian times, but more recently we have begun to understand how it works. Towards the end of the nineteenth century scientists discovered a compound, since named oleuropein, that provided its therapeutic effect. Further research isolated a substance called elenolic acid to be the active ingredient.

Both the University of Milan and Granada have pursued further investigations to understand better the workings of these substances. Although necessary to improve our understanding, for those concerned with natural supplements for men, or for that matter women too, the good news is that it works. The forgotten secrets of olive trees may still do much for our welfare.
