What Is OliveWell®?
MedVitál® OliveWell® is the patented and clinically studied form of hydroxytrosol from organically-grown olives. Hydroxytyrosol is a powerful natural antioxidant found in olives, an important part of the Mediterranean diet. In the body, hydroxytyrosol is active as an antioxi- dant in both fat and water soluble structures of the body and may play a role in activating pro-longevity sirutin genes.+ OliveWell® is based on the discoveries of Dr. Roberto Crea, a leading natural biotechnology innovator and the inventor of the Integrale® process.
What Does It Do?
Pro-Longevity Cell Protection+
Hydroxytyrosol is a powerful natural antioxidant found in olives, an important part of the Mediterranean diet. In the body, hydroxytyrosol provides powerful antioxidant support and is active as an antioxidant in both fat and water soluble structures of the body and may play a role in activating pro-longevity sirutin genes.+
CreAgri’s patented Integrale™ process gently extracts hydroxytyrosol and other olive polyphenols from organic olives, using only water. In clinical tests, MedVitál® OliveWell®’s Hidrox® olive juice extract was shown to have 300 times the antioxidant activity of extra virgin olive oil without the fats or calories.+
Why OliveWell® Matters
Superior Bioavailability
Hydroxytyrosol’s promise for heart health, and pro-longevity cell protection is well known. Researcher and leading biotechnology innovator Dr. Roberto Crea invented the Integrale® technology that provides concentrated hydroxytyrosol with 20.0 other olive polyphenols for 300X the antioxidant activity of olive oil. Independent laboratory analyses have demonstrated that hydroxytyrosol is the most potent antioxidant yet discovered:
OliveWell® uses the patented Integrale® process to extract and concentrate hydroxytyrosol along with a symphony of other olive polyphenols from the juice of fresh olives. This process yields Hidrox®, the patented and clinically tested form of hydroxytrysol that has been shown to have powerful antioxidant properties.
The Science of the Mediterranean Diet. A rigorous study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2013 involving 7,447 participants in Spain over a five year period found that those who followed the Mediterranean diet, supplemented with either extra-virgin olive oil or nuts, experienced “a relative risk reduction of approximately 30%, among high-risk persons who were initially free of cardiovascular disease. These results support the benefits of the Mediterranean diet for cardiovascular risk reduction.”* Hydroxytyrosol was the key marker researchers used to measure compliance with the Mediterranean Diet, and long-term adherence provided these remarkable results. *N Engl J Med 2013; 368:1279-1290
