Oleuropein’s antimicrobial activity occurs when it breaks down in the body to elolenic acid (in the form of calcium elenolate; a calcium salt). The elolenic acid interacts with a target pathogen at a receptor, as a key interacts with a lock. The elolenic acid interferes with the replication process of most pathogens. Once the extract begins to affect the pathogens, the immune system can renew itself to do its job to protect the body from disease.Suggested Use:Take one capsule twice daily, preferably on an empty stomach.Product Facts:Serving Size (cap) 1Servings Per 60Olive Leaf Extract 500mgWarnings:These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
