Oleocanthal and Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Arthritis

Oleocanthal and Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Arthritis

Oleocanthal has been noted for its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s even been shown to have some characteristics in common with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen. Because inflammation is a major part of the pathology of joint degenerative disease such as arthritis, researchers are interested in whether supplementation with oleocanthal or consuming extra virgin...

Olive Oil for Breast Cancer: Can it reduce the risk?

Olive Oil for Breast Cancer: Can it reduce the risk?

One of the reasons researchers believe olive oil may play a protective role is because olive oil—in particular extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)— contains several bioactive compounds, such as monounsaturated fatty acids, triterpenes, and polyphenols which have been associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits and possibly even anti-cancer effects.

Oleocanthal Treatment Improves Metabolic and Behavioral Changes in Alzheimer’s Mouse Model Study

Oleocanthal Treatment Improves Metabolic and Behavioral Changes in Alzheimer’s Mouse Model Study

In addition to showing associations between aging and Alzheimer's Disease and changes to metabolism and behavior, this study also reinforced other research showing that oleocanthal could be a valuable tool for improving these factors. This study also showed that monitoring these changes in parameters could offer insight as to AD...

EVOO Rich in Oleocanthal Can Reduce Metabolic Syndrome

EVOO Rich in Oleocanthal Can Reduce Metabolic Syndrome

A study published in 2020 in Metabolites has demonstrated that human consumption of oleocanthal-rich extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) for 2 months can reduce the effects of metabolic syndrome.

New Study: Compounds Found in EVOO Can Increase Skin Function

New Study: Compounds Found in EVOO Can Increase Skin Function

June 30, 2023 A recent study published in Nutrients has provided evidence that high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) may increase skin cell proliferation and improve wound healing functions. In vitro (ie, in a dish) experiments were performed using a type of human skin cells known as fibroblasts treated with...

The Impact of Polyphenols on Aging

The Impact of Polyphenols on Aging

Aging is a health issue that may be on your mind for a number of reasons. Rather than thinking of aging as being just about the number of years, or appearance of the body, consider what is happening on a deeper level. In the scientific community, aging is the term...
