Şifalıköy Zeytin Yaprağı Çayı (Olive Leaf Tea) 80 gr

A study conducted in Australia in 2005 revealed that the antioxidant capacity in olive leaves is 5 times higher than that found in vitamin C and 2 times higher than in green tea and grape seed. At the same time, this study found that the antioxidants found in olive leaf extract were much stronger than the Turkish market antioxidants found in grape seed and vitamin E in scavenging harmful free radicals. Olive leaf is rich in anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial compounds. Olive leaves contain the same chemical compounds found in olive oil, with no calories!

Şifalıköy Olive Leaf Tea 80 gr 100 % Natural

When olive leaves are consumed as tea, oleuropein taken into the body is converted into elenolic acid by two enzymes (esterase and beta-glycosidase enzymes). Elenolic acid, as we mentioned earlier, has an antimicrobial effect. It affects the cell wall of bacteria.

The substances found in the leaves vary according to the type of olive, the cultural measures applied, the region where it is grown and the time of harvest. Phenolic (a substance that affects the flavour and colour of plant-based foods) and flavonaite (anti-cancer protective antioxidant) compounds strengthen the body’s immune system and make it resistant to diseases. The leaf contains oleuropein compound at a rate of 60-90mg/gr. Healthy drinks come to your home from herbal teas on Turkish market shelves.
