About Olivamine®

The Precise Olivamine® Compound Blend is Scientifically Superior

The scientific community recognizes the tremendous health benefits of hydroxytyrosol, and the ever-increasing amounts of peer review literature on the subject makes this clear. This single ingredient makes the Olivamine® brand extraordinary. However, hydroxytyrosol in combination with the other Olivamine® compounds is scientifically superior.

Extensive and ongoing primary research, being conducted at the McCord Research Center located at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, has demonstrated the superiority of the precise combination of compounds found in Olivamine®.

Researchers discovered that healing times in diabetic and nondiabetic models were substantially reduced following Olivamine® treatment. This is critical because improved repair helps ensure that a patient’s exposure to harmful infections and toxins is potentially reduced.

The Olivamine® supplement product line is not dependent upon secondary research. While others are doing excellent work, our research team is dedicated to discovering the benefits of the precise blend of compounds that allow our products to heal when nothing else works. There is a reason and it is scientific superiority.

Hydroxytyrosol Continues to Capture the Imagination of Scientists Around the World

As scientists develop more accurate experimental methods and improved technology to study cells at the molecular level using increasingly powerful microscopes, better gene analysis tools and faster ways to manipulate DNA and proteins, the ingredients in Olivamine® including hydroxytyrosol continue to reveal new exciting, cellular protection and repair activities. Moreover, vital clinical studies continue to demonstrate the remarkably positive effects Olivamine® has on cell health and repair.

Scientists can now observe hydroxytyrosol entering cells and interacting with important proteins that influence DNA expression, immune responses and cellular longevity. Not only can scientists study the effects of hydroxytyrosol on organelles like mitochondria, scientists are able to study the effects of hydroxytyrosol on so many cellular processes including endoplasmic reticulum stress. Changes in protein folding and DNA-protein interactions can now be examined.

The amazing ability of olive molecules, including hydroxytyrosol, to influence their molecular and cellular surroundings has captured the attention and imagination of scientist for many years, and is still proving to be extremely interesting and challenging. Teams of scientists are working hard to discover the many secrets still left to be revealed. The incredible ability of Olivamine® to improve the health of cells has stood the test of time and continues to promote exciting scientific and clinical breakthroughs.

Hydroxytyrosol Helps Regulate DNA Expression on the Epigenetic Level

The Olivamine® supplement product line was created over ten years ago, but the amazing science behind Olivamine® and the healing power of olives has held up against cutting-edge scientific scrutiny, and the knowledge gained from new discoveries related to Olivamine® has continued to expand at an ever-increasing rate.

One of the main components of olives is the molecule, hydroxytyrosol, a potent antioxidant that has been shown through scientific research to activate an array of beneficial genes and oxidative defense enzymes, as well as increase the lifespan of cells. Hydroxytyrosol helps protect the powerhouses of cells, known as mitochondria that are intimately involved in energy metabolism and aging. Hydroxytyrosol and a companion olive antioxidant decrease inflammation and increase endothelial cell viability and repair.

In the past few years, scientists have been able to determine thousands of genes that are positively affected by hydroxytyrosol. Not only does hydroxytyrosol influence the expression of so many important cellular proteins, hydroxytyrosol can help regulate DNA expression on the epigenetic level. Scientists are discovering more and more that epigenetics has major effects on cell development and growth, as well as repair.

Symptom Checker

Vitamin D deficiency symptoms include:

• Getting sick often or frequent infections
• Feeling tired all the time
• Bone and back pain
• Depression or sadness
• Wounds are slow healing
• Brittle bones or bone loss (osteoporosis)
• Balding or hair loss
• Muscle pain and weakness

Low Magnesium, or Magnesium deficiency symptoms include:

• Chronic fatigue
• Muscle cramps
• Migraines
• Irregular heartbeat
• Insomnia
• High blood pressure
• Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders

Getting the proper amount of vitamin D for healthy cells is difficult without taking supplements. There are some food sources where Vitamin D can be found including fatty fish, beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Sunlight is also a natural way to get vitamin D, but poses risks including skin cancer. Foods high in magnesium include whole grains, spinach, quinoa, almonds, cashews, or peanuts, dark chocolate, black beans, and avocados.

Understanding Vitamin D3 and Magnesium

Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D? Statistics suggest that 40-50% of otherwise healthy adults and children don’t intake enough Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, but what most people don’t realize is that magnesium aids in activating Vitamin D so that your body can use it. [Continue Reading]

Vitamin D Debt: Are You “Paying” Enough?

Daily recommended intake of Vitamin D is based on miscalculations in the original research, contributing to an increase in deficiency and related health issues. Corrections to the calculations indicate the RDA of Vitamin D should be increased to avoid health consequences of inadequate daily intake and deficiency. [Continue Reading]

Magnesium and Your Health

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for overall health, but deficiency is common and contributes to multiple disease processes. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include headaches, high blood pressure, heart arrhythmias, muscle cramps, mood disorders, insomnia, and more. [Continue Reading]

Medications Associated with Deficiencies in the Vital Micronutrient Zinc

Commonly prescribed drugs can lead to deficiencies in micronutrients including zinc. Zinc deficiencies play important roles in diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Zinc deficiencies can result from taking medicines including antacids, diuretics and certain heart medications, and can occur in individuals with chronic diarrhea and liver problems. Olivamine^® MultiVitamin can help remedy zinc deficiencies. [Continue Reading]

Vitamin D and Magnesium Work Together to Promote Health

Vitamin D deficiency is common and can result in unregulated cell proliferation. The beneficial effects from vitamin D are dependent on sufficient magnesium intake.  Deficiency in either nutrient is associated with health problems including cardiovascular disease and conditions preceding diabetes that are associated with inflammation. Vitamin D and magnesium work together in Olivamine^® VitalHealth to maintain healthy levels of inflammation. [Continue Reading]

Helping Reduce Obesity with Olive Polyphenols

Obesity can result from various factors including diet and is associated with inflammation that often increases with aging. Various ingredients in Olivamine^® help maintain healthy levels of inflammation including the important olive polyphenols, hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein. Obesity is linked with the loss of metabolic energy balance that may be restored by thermogenesis (heat production) from brown fat cells. Olive leaf extract that includes hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein have been shown to attenuate or prevent obesity by regulating molecules involved in adipogenesis (fat cell creation) and thermogenesis.
