What is the effect of olive extract on cardiovascular health?

Recently, a study published in the journal Drug R & D showed that a standard olive fruit extract (proliva developed by Euromed) has a positive effect on atherosclerosis and blood triglyceride levels Arteriosclerosis increases the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, the researchers say, and it measures the degree of arteriosclerosis in patients with cardiovascular disease by using the cardio-a (cavi) The technique is said to be able to separate the effects of high blood pressure on blood vessels, because the pressure exerted by high blood pressure on them can make them stiff In this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, 36 healthy volunteers aged 45-65 were randomly divided into three groups: the first group received 250mg olive fruit extract every day, which contained 50mg of active ingredient hydroxytyrosol; the second group received 500mg olive fruit extract every day, which contained 100mg of hydroxytyrosol; the third group took placebo As the control group The experiment lasted 11 days The results showed that there was no significant difference in cavi between the control group and the experimental group, and there was no significant change in cavi among the three groups The researchers said that long-term large-scale trials can better explain the placebo effect, but there is no evidence that high-dose olive fruit extract can better improve blood triglyceride level and cavi, and the results only show that it can soften blood vessels Euromed developed proliva, an olive fruit extract, to supply hydroxy tyrosol rich in extra virgin olive oil However, it is difficult to obtain relevant identification for the high-grade virgin olive oil sold in the United States In order to assess the quality level of olive oil, Euromed has developed a project called phytoproof, which evaluates the quality of olive oil through more than 20 laboratories The olive oil certified by the project meets the requirements of fdagmp in the United States, and does not contain adulterated components and heavy metal pollution, pesticide residues, aflatoxin and other microorganisms Euromed aims to help consumers choose qualified olive oil products through the project.
