Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Oleuropein, a polyphenolic compound found mainly in olive leaves and olive oil, has been investigated for its potential cardiovascular benefits. Scientific studies, primarily preclinical and a few small clinical trials, suggest several mechanisms by which oleuropein might support cardiovascular health. These include antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, improvement of endothelial function, and reduction of blood pressure. Experimental models have shown that oleuropein can reduce LDL oxidation and improve lipid profiles, which are relevant to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Some animal and in vitro studies also indicate anti-platelet and vasodilatory effects.

Limited human clinical trials suggest that olive leaf extracts containing oleuropein can modestly lower blood pressure and improve lipid parameters, but these studies are often small, short-term, and sometimes use mixed extracts. While the Mediterranean diet, rich in olive products, is associated with cardiovascular benefits, the specific contribution of oleuropein is still being clarified. Overall, while there is promising evidence from laboratory and animal studies, and some supportive data from preliminary human trials, large-scale, high-quality clinical trials are still needed to confirm oleuropein's efficacy in preventing or treating cardiovascular disease in humans.
