The potential effects of olive leaf extract on hypertension

High blood pressure: a clinical study evaluates olive leaf extract

Traditionally associated with cardiovascular health, the olive leaf is the subject of clinical research. A new study involving 621 patients with high blood pressure assesses the effects of olive leaf extract on blood pressure.

📌︎ Key takeaways

✓A randomised, placebo-controlled trial assessed olive leaf extract in 621 patients already being treated for high blood pressure, over a 12-week period.
✓Blood pressure was measured over a 24-hour period, both during the day and at night.
✓Mean systolic blood pressure fell by 6.4 mmHg with the extract, compared with 1.5 mmHg with the placebo.
✓These results add to our understanding, but need to be confirmed.
✓A supplement is not a substitute for antihypertensive treatment. Seek advice before taking any supplements and never alter your treatment without medical advice.
