What makes extra virgin olive oil so good for your health? Sure, it’s high in monounsaturated fat, which is the good kind of fat. But then, so are other oils such as sunflower and canola oil. What makes extra virgin olive oil stand out from its peers is polyphenols, the unique antioxidant component found in most superfoods.

The Goodness of Polyphenols
Polyphenols comprises over 500 phytochemicals, another name for naturally occurring micronutrients in plants that give them their colour and protects it from harm. Polyphenols provide a host of health benefits to us when consumed.
As antioxidants, polyphenols can help prevent cellular damage caused by free-radicals produced by pollution, eating rancid foods, smoking and normal body metabolism. Polyphenols also may help put the body in an anti-inflammatory mode which lowers the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, and autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) claims that “Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress,” provided that the daily intake is at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives in 20g of olive oil.
Just a 0.1ml dose of Oliferin PurEssence provides the benefits as 20g of extra virgin olive oil, which is 177 calories. A daily recommended dose of PurEssence for adults is 0.5mL (14 drops, 4 calories) for health improvement and 0.3mL (8 drops, 2.6 calories) for health maintenance, which is equivalent to 100g (885 calories) and 60g (531 calories) of extra virgin olive oil, respectively.
