Getting to know olive
The olive tree (Olea europaea) is known for its fruit as well as its leaves. Olive leaves have been valued for centuries in Mediterranean traditions and naturally contain polyphenols such as oleuropein. At Morgen is Nu, we offer olive leaf in liquid extracts and capsules.
The compounds in olive
Olive leaf extract contains a high concentration of oleuropein, a bitter plant compound that occurs naturally in the leaves. The concentration of oleuropein in olive leaves is much higher than in olive oil, for example.

Our mission is to help people choose their health products with the right information
Most health claims currently relate to vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. Discussions about herbs and botanicals have been ongoing for years. Various on-hold claims have been submitted for these. They are currently awaiting authorisation by the European Commission. These claims may therefore currently only be used if there is scientific evidence to support the health effect.
Herbs can have an effect on the body and may, in some cases, interact with medication or other food supplements.
You are responsible for your own use and combination of herbal supplements. Consult a doctor or pharmacist if you take medication or have health concerns. The use of herbs during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally not recommended due to insufficient evidence of their safety. If you want to take several herbal supplements at the same time and are unsure, consult a healthcare professional.
