Q:I see that the powder portion of this olive leaf capsule is organic. My question is.. Is the "extract" portion made from organic olives as well? Thank you.
Asked by: David Valino
- 3/10/2024
A: The extract portion starts with certified organic olive leaf. It looses it's organic standing during the extraction process because non-certified organic extractant (ethanol) is used. Therefore we can not advertise the extract or these capsules as being organic. This does not mean there is an increased risk of contaminants such as pesticides. Each batch is tested and is always within USDA limits.

Q:hi do you post the olive leaf extra capsule to Malaysia? Notice there is no Malaysia in the checkout. If you do how much is it? Also do you have any internal studies on this killing herpes virus (notice that the information on yr webpage is taken for sources that are unknown). Thanks
Asked by: vijen
- 1/18/2023
A: We do not ship to Malaysia. The best way to receive our products in countries not on our list is to use a dropship service in the USA which receives your mail and forwards it to you in your country. We do not perform internal studies, this is outside the scope of our expertise and ability. Doing a Google Scholar search pulls up many studies about the effects of olive leaf and its constituents on herpes virus. Here is the link:

Q:For shingles, how many capsules of the Olive Leaf Max 500mg should I take in a day?
Asked by: Rob
- 7/9/2022
A: We are not able to provide medical treatment advice for any specific health condition. I personally had shingles and took 6-9 capsules per day plus drank olive leaf tea for approximately two and a half weeks. As the outbreak cleared I cut back to a lower amount. This does not mean my protocol will work for you but I mention it as an example of what can work. Please consult your healthcare professional for treatment advice.

Asked by: Laura Johnson
- 9/3/2020
A: You can give the contents of this capsule to pets. We normally recommend the olive leaf powder at 1/4 teaspoon per 40 pounds of weight, so this product should be less. There is no tested dosage for pets so please use discretion. Seek the advice of an animal specialist.

Q:I read some research regarding the oleuropein content and the time of year leaves are harvested. They found that leaves harvested in Fall contain a much larger concentration of phenol compounds than those collected in Summer. Do you source olive leaves known/guaranteed to be collected in the Fall? Thank you.
Asked by: Colleen
- 12/16/2019
A: Olive leaf can be harvested at different times of the year but will have minimal impact on this product because most oleuropein comes from a standardized extract always having 25% oleuropein. Also note research indicates that as oleuropein breaks down into its constituents, the level of hydroxytyrosol increases. Hydroxytyrosol is an excellent healthful antioxidant constituent. This can also happen in the body where oleuropein is consumed and broken down into hydroxytyrosol. More research is needed to determine the relationship between the two compounds but we believe both are very beneficial for health reasons.

Q:how long is the sale price going to be offered?
Asked by: Donna Gilgert
- 10/19/2019
A: Until the current older batch is sold out which should be in one to two months.
We guarantee a minimum of 12 months remaining shelf life until the expiration date. The current batch being sold now still has over 18 months shelf life remaining and three years total established with a lab test. This represents a change from what we previously told customers that this product had a two year shelf life.
OliveLeafMAX now has a three year shelf life. After this batch is sold out future batches will have the expiration date printed on the bottle instead of the manufacture date so there is no confusion on how long bottles are good for. If any customer has any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Q:whats the difference between the MAX with 60 capsules for $18, and the other bottle of 100 tablets for $13?
Asked by: GREG
- 7/23/2016
A: MAX Capsules have more oleuropein per capsule because they contain a concentrated extract. The organic olive leaf powder capsule is 100% pure unprocessed powder and not concentrated but an advantage is it has all constituents of the leaf whereas the extract capsules may not due to the extraction process designed to maximum oleuropein. Both capsules work well but you may prefer one over the other depending on who you listen to or which regimen you try to follow.

Q:Is the Organic Olive leaf as strong as the OliveLeafMAX ?
Asked by: Michal
- 10/1/2015
A: The short answer is No. However, olive leaf powder is us not as processed as an extract and therefore has all natural constituents in its natural proportions. According to many experts this is better than an extract which may only extract out some constituents but not others. This is why we carry two types of capsule products. With the organic powder you get the whole leaf, with MAX Capsules you get a guaranteed amount of oleuropein plus organic powder.

A: This type of question is asked frequently and one we are not allowed to answer nor should we since we are not medical practitioners. Medical advice should always be directed to your doctor or natural practitioner. The FDA and FTC have specific regulations preventing a marketer to make health claims about treating or curing a disease. Interestingly, others who are not marketers can make such statements and if you read the books we sell or other natural remedy books you can find answers to how olive leaf helps the immune system and other facets of improving ones health. The information on our website tries to be as helpful as legally possible without going over the line. It isn't always easy to do this.
