Comvita Olive Leaf Extract is only made from our Fresh-Picked™ leaves on our Australian farms. We only use fresh leaves in our extracts, rather than dried leaves or reconstituted powders to preserve the quality of the Oleuropein. Scientific testing shows that liquid Olive Leaf Extracts made directly from fresh leaves have a broader spectrum potency. By using fresh leaves – harvested at sunrise, and concentrated before lunch – we avoid drying, damage and decay. It also means that we are not artificially boosting the compounds in isolation, we retain the balanced combination of antioxidants as found naturally in the original fresh leaf.

The 'natural balance' in a fresh olive leaf provides a more powerful free radical scavenging capacity than when the individual components are isolated – this involves a synergistic action between flavonoids, oleuropeosides and phenols.
