Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

There is some scientific evidence supporting the use of olive, particularly extra virgin olive oil and olive leaf extract, in the management of ulcers, especially peptic ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Several in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that compounds present in olives, such as oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and other polyphenols, exhibit antimicrobial activity against H. pylori. For example, a study published in "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" (2007) found that olive oil's phenolic compounds could inhibit the growth of several strains of H. pylori in vitro. Furthermore, olive oil's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may contribute to mucosal protection and support ulcer healing by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the gastric mucosa.

However, high-quality human clinical trials are limited. Most of the evidence comes from laboratory or animal research, and a few small-scale human studies, so the overall evidence remains preliminary. Traditionally, olive oil has also been used in Mediterranean folk medicine for digestive health, but its specific use for ulcer treatment is less well-documented historically compared to its general role in promoting gut health. In summary, while olive and its extracts show promise as supportive treatments for ulcers, especially through their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions, more robust clinical research is needed to confirm efficacy and optimal usage in humans.
