"Antioxidation A study was done to identify the major phenolic compounds present in an extract of olive leaf and estimate their antioxidant activity by their ability to scavenge the radical cation ABTS. Several structural attributes of flavonoids present in olive leaf, including 3-hydroxyl groups, influenced the ability of these compounds to scavenge free radicals. Radical scavenging capacity increased with the number of free hydroxyl groups present in the flavonoid structure. The flavonoid rhamnoglucoside rutin was the most effective compound." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"However, human studies are needed to clearly establish olive leaf as a potential treatment for high blood pressure. In addition, a test tube study has revealed that oleuropein inhibits the oxidation of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. LDL oxidation is one part in a series of damaging events that, if left unchecked, can lead to the development of atherosclerosis.8 This action may provide one clue as to why those consuming a Mediterranean-based diet may lower their risk of developing atherosclerosis (page 38). Oleuropein from olives may also have antibacterial properties." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc.
