Supports a Healthy Gut & Metabolic Balance
A growing body of research shows that Extra‑Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) has a positive influence on the gut microbiota, intestinal immunity, and overall metabolic health.
Clinical studies demonstrate that EVOO can help promote beneficial gut bacteria, including lactic acid bacteria, while increasing key anti‑inflammatory markers such as IL‑10 and adiponectin.
At the same time, EVOO has been shown to reduce oxidative stress—an essential factor in protecting metabolic and immune function. Reviews further highlight EVOO’s ability to shape gut microbiota composition, enhance mucosal immune responses, and support both cardiometabolic and cognitive health through interactions along the gut–brain axis.
