Reduces Inflammation Naturally
Research shows that oleocanthal‑rich Extra‑Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) delivers measurable anti‑inflammatory benefits, helping reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines in both normal‑weight and overweight adults who follow Mediterranean‑diet interventions.
The Mediterranean Diet (MD)—well‑established for its role in preventing overweight, obesity, and metabolic disease—relies on High‑Quality Extra‑Virgin Olive Oil (HQ‑EVOO) as a foundational component. This nutrient‑dense oil contributes protective effects against chronic disease through its rich profile of bioactive compounds.
Emerging science also highlights the connection between EVOO and the gut microbiota (GM)—a key regulator of metabolic health and immunity. Beneficial microorganisms such as Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and their cellular metabolites support immune balance and gastrointestinal wellness.
At the center of these benefits are the phenolic compounds naturally found in EVOO. Their anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant actions are increasingly recognized as pivotal contributors to improved cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune health.
