Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the most studied components of the Mediterranean diet—and it’s the polyphenols in EVOO that are most responsible for its wide array of health benefits. While most research has focused on liquid EVOO, the mechanisms those studies reveal are directly tied to the biologically active compounds also found in high-polyphenol supplements: oleocanthal, oleacein, oleuropein aglycone, and ligstroside aglycone. Below are 7 science-based benefits that high-polyphenol olive oil supplements can help you capture consistently and conveniently. 1. Supports Heart and Cardiovascular Health One of the best-supported health areas for EVOO polyphenols is heart health. What...

If you’ve ever stared at a bottle of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in your kitchen and then at a neat little olive oil pill in your supplement stack and wondered: “Do these actually do the same thing?” This blog is for you. We’ll break down what really matters (spoiler: it’s the polyphenols, not just “olive oil”), how capsules compare to liquid EVOO, and where a product like Oleocan fits in if you want the benefits of high-phenolic olive oil without chugging it by the spoonful. Why Extra Virgin Olive Oil Is Such a Big Deal Most of the exciting...

If you care about longevity, inflammation, or brain health, you’ve probably heard about extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). But what most people don’t realize is this: the real magic isn’t in the fat — it’s in the polyphenols.

Introduction: More Than a Healthy Fat Chronic inflammation is a root cause of many modern diseases — from heart disease to insulin resistance to autoimmune flares. At the same time, our immune system needs balance: enough activation to defend, but not so much that it self-attacks. What if a simple daily habit — consuming high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) — could help reset that balance? Beyond its role as a healthy fat, EVOO carries powerful bioactive compounds that research increasingly links to anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects. In this article, we’ll dive deep into: The key molecules (Oleocanthal, Oleacein, Ligstroside...
