Old Substances Continue To Be Important Amongst Natural Supplements For Men

By Lucille Lamb


In the fitness products manufacturing sector there appears to be a major trend towards the consumption of products from more natural sources. With regards natural supplements for men this is also becoming an important issue.

It seems as if consumers have realized the awesome power of nature and wish to harness some of this into daily dietary regimes. Well there are no shortage of products in this very competitive market, but as with most things in life do all these supplements do what they say on the box?

There is an ancient product from natural origins that seems to be causing some effect amongst men. The product in question is olive leaf extract. It has been revealed in some tests that this uncomplicated, one might say juice, has been found to be a strong anti-fungal, antiviral and antibacterial agent. A fact particularly interesting in current times as health care professionals discover that more and more bacteria have become resistant to normal antibiotic medication.

The problem facing the medical profession is that the identified microbes have over the years, modified themselves to withstand antibiotic medicines causing them not to work. Of similar concern is realization that there are few if any new innovative drug treatments arising through research and development. Olive leaf extract, used since centuries ago in some areas as a medicine, may now be sparking renewed attention.

Examining all the impacts this simple substance may have on the male body would fill a small book so only some of the benefits will be mentioned here. Firstly is the prevention of infection from a large number of pathological microbes that include: viral and bacterial infections, retroviruses, fungi, parasites, yeasts and even moulds. The above include the ever present common cold and influenza that seem to plague everyone from time to time.

Secondly among the benefits is the way the substance is found to improve the elasticity of artery networks within the body. Of course with the increasing number of cardiovascular issues facing the medical profession, including the problem of rising blood pressures, this may be of enormous significance.

Thirdly sufferers of arthritis may also benefit as the product has been found to provide relief to joints inflamed by this illness. Additional conditions for which the tincture may provide relief are production of free radicals, parasitic and yeast based ailments, chronic fatigue syndrome. A common result amongst users was reports of feeling more energetic and general well being.

There is no great chemical or pharmaceutical breakthrough with olive leaf extract. It was first used for medicinal purposes during Egyptian times, but more recently we have begun to understand how it works. Towards the end of the nineteenth century scientists discovered a compound, since named oleuropein, that provided its therapeutic effect. Further research isolated a substance called elenolic acid to be the active ingredient.

Both the University of Milan and Granada have pursued further investigations to understand better the workings of these substances. Although necessary to improve our understanding, for those concerned with natural supplements for men, or for that matter women too, the good news is that it works. The forgotten secrets of olive trees may still do much for our welfare.
