Taking 1000 mg of Frutarom’s EFLA 943 olive leaf extract may lower cholesterol and blood pressure in patients with mild hypertension (high blood pressure), according to research recently published in Phytotherapy Research.
Researchers from Switzerland and Germany conducted a pilot trial with 20 identical (monozygotic) twin pairs who had high blood pressure. Individuals were either given placebo capsules or capsules containing doses of 500 mg or 1000 mg of olive leaf extract EFLA 943. Pairs of twins were assigned to different treatments. After the subjects had taken the extract for 8 weeks researchers measured blood pressure and collected data about lifestyle.
“The study confirmed that olive leaf extract EFLA 943 has antihypertensive properties in humans,” said co-author, Cem Aydogan, general manager, Frutarom Health.
