Benefits

Vascular protection

Oleactiv is studied for an anti-atherosclerotic effect, supporting the health and flexibility of artery walls.

Supported by Trial 1

Endothelial function

The polyphenols support nitric oxide and endothelial function, which underlie healthy blood flow and blood pressure.

Antioxidant support

By lowering oxidative modification of LDL and vascular oxidative stress, the blend supports cardiovascular resilience.

Supported by Trial 1

Mechanism of action

1

Anti-atherosclerotic action

The polyphenols reduce the oxidation and inflammation that drive plaque formation in artery walls.

2

Endothelial support

By supporting nitric oxide availability, the blend helps maintain vasodilation and vascular tone.

Clinical trials
