OIL & HEALTH
``I tasted this golden oil, it suits all family and friendly menus. I will prescribe it largely without a prescription and insistently in my job as oncologist.``
Pr Henri Joyeux
The olive oil produced in a rocky desert of the Moroccan Atlas is very healthy. Compared to all other oils from around the Mediterranean and beyond, OLIVIE Plus 30X contains 30 times more polyphenols little known: Tyrosol and Hydroxytyrosol to a rate never measured before in a food: 30 times (240 mg / kg) compared to a conventional extra virgin olive oil (8 mg / kg). Preventing Alzheimer’s, preventing premature aging of our body cells and organs, preventing cancer, preventing heart disease, excess of cholesterol, stroke… Shortly said: staying healthy for the next century we are given, it is our greatest wish.
Professor Henri Joyeux – Oncologist Surgeon – Specialist in International Nutrition Prevention – Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier
The following tab summarizes the main health benefits one can get from this naturally rich olive oil in powerful polyphenols. It can help any doctor to prescribe OLIVIE like a bio-medicine to their patients.
Symptom
Hypertension
Biological effect
Hydroxytyrosol is an antihypertensive. Besides increasing coronary flow it is also anti-arrhythmic… The Hydroxytyrosol regulates the metabolism of lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), while lowering the rate of the blood lipoproteins of low molecular weight LDL (bad cholesterol). This decrease is mainly due to cholesterol inhibition by hydroxytyrosol the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.

Symptom
Cardiovascular System
Biological effect
Olive oil rich in polyphenols allows the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In effect, polyphenols from olive oil:
– Promote the reduction of the presence of cell adhesion molecules,
– Increase the availability of nitric oxide,
– Suppress platelet aggregation,
– Stimulate endogenous antioxidants to retard LDL arteriosclerosis,
– Reduce inflammatory reactions.

Symptom
Toxicity
Biological effect
The phenolic compounds of olive oil are not toxic and absorption depends on the dose. These compounds are highly bioavailable as natural components of olive oil.

Symptom
Anti ageing
Biological effect
– Hydroxytyrosol, powerful phenolic compound of olive oil, increases the production of mitochondria. The high number of mitochondria in the cell is an indicator of cell youth and body healthy.
– Hydroxytyrosol induces the expression of several proteins related to cardiac cells.

Symptom
Cancer
Biological effect
– Hydroxytyrosol and polyphenols of olive oil are potent protective agents against cancer. These natural compounds are also excellent substances for the treatment of cancer.
– Hydroxytyrosol and olive polyphenols inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of cancer cells.

Symptom
Antioxydant power
Biological effect
Olive oil contains more highly protective antioxidant substances than red wine, green tea and vitamin C. Free radicals are trapped efficiently by polyphenols of olive oil which explains their high antioxidant power.

Symptom
Antimicrobial effect
Biological effect
Hydroxytyrosol and olive polyphenols have a bactericidal and / or bacteriostatic acting on a range of pathogenic bacteria, and their effect against fungi.

Symptom
Endocrine
Biological effect
Olive polyphenols are effective against hyperglycemia and may play a role in the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications associated with oxidative stress.

Symptom
Nervous System and Alzheimer
Biological effect
Hydroxytyrosol and olive polyphenols contribute to the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease by different molecular mechanisms.

Symptom
Psoriasis
Biological effect
Hydroxytyrosol and olive polyphenols make Psoriasis disappear through oral treatment between 2 to 6 months.

Symptom
AIDS
Biological effect
Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are the useful agents to inhibit the fusion and integration of HIV in the human cells.
