Barlean’s Launches Olive Leaf Complex in Time for Cold & Flu Season

FERNDALE, WA, Aug. '09 – Barlean's Olive Leaf Complex liquid extract, packing nearly double the antioxidant capacity of green tea extract and 400% higher than Vitamin C, is hitting stores just in time for cold and flu season.

Recorded evidence of olive leaf's medicinal use dates back thousands of years: it was used by ancient Egyptian and Mediterranean cultures to treat various health conditions. Today, health experts have sparked a resurgence because of its remarkable antioxidant qualities and it's becoming the hottest health sensation for supporting a healthy immune system – critical for seasonal wellness.

"Olive trees live for thousands of years, resisting attacks from bacteria, virus, fungus and a range of micoorganisms," said Barlean’s V.P. Jim Springer. "Olive Leaf Complex taps into that same phenomenal defense system and provides hundreds of broad-spectrum, naturally occurring compounds to provide a powerhouse of cell-protecting antioxidants."

Barlean’s Olive Leaf Complex is imported from Australia, where a research team spent ten years testing 60 olive tree varieties from 12 countries and found the world’s best- Olea europaea trees. Barlean’s olive leaves are fresh picked at sunrise and immediately fresh pressed to capture full-spectrum, nutritional potency.

Barlean’s Olive leaf Complex 8-oz and 16-oz bottles are all-natural peppermint flavored and available in health foods stores nationwide.
