Polyphenol Count Benefits of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Why you should pay attention to Polyphenol Counts in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

All Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not made equal.

For instance, the Koroneiki olive tree variety found in Greece is known for its high concentration of polyphenols; hydroxytyrosol and oleocanthal to name a few.

Although hydroxytyrosol is considered most potent in EVOO, according to the International Olive Council, studies have shown that Oleocanthal also has a high potency of antioxidants.

Studies show, Oleocanthal positively alters inflammation and oxidative stress and has 

beneficial effects on markers of neurodegenerative disease, cancer, and rheumatic pathologies.

Additional benefits include skin health, bone health, and weight management. 

To maximize potential health benefits of Oleocanthal, hydroxytyrosol and otherpolyphenols, consume high-quality EVOO in moderation.

Polyphenol content in EVOO is determined by factors like olive variety, harvest timing, processing methods and regional climate and can vary by harvest year.
