Extract turns a new health leaf
The olive leaf contains the key compounds of oleuropein and polyphenols. Frutarom says oleuropein has proven blood pressure-lowering effects, and acts in synergy with the other phytochemicals in Benolea's multi-component system.
In a recent clinical trial, researchers compared Benolea's efficacy with that of a blood pressure-lowering pharmaceutical in subjects with mildly elevated blood pressure. It proved to be efficient in lowering elevated blood-pressure levels and positively influenced the lipid profile, while being safe and well-tolerated, according to the manufacturer.
"This and other proprietary research studies support Benolea's position as a natural ingredient for heart health," says Frutarom Health's product manager Yannick Capelle. "It reflects the essence of the Mediterranean diet, delivering cardiovascular health benefits in an all-in-one ingredient."
The use of the patented manufacturing technology, EFLA HyperPure, guarantees a high degree of purity, solubility and improved stability.
Benolea is water-soluble and can be used in dietary supplements and food and drink applications.
