Do Your Products Carry EFSA or FDA Health Claims?
Yes — our high-phenolic olive oil carries the official EFSA health claim for protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. This means it’s not just nutritious — it’s scientifically validated.
According to EFSA Regulation 432/2012, olive oil polyphenols (specifically hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives) contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress — but only when the oil contains at least 5mg of hydroxytyrosol per 20g of oil. We exceed this threshold in every batch.
What the EFSA Health Claim Means
- Scientifically approved: Based on reviewed clinical studies and molecular data.
- Regulatory credibility: Allows us to legally state health benefits on EU packaging and marketing.
- Polyphenol requirement: Minimum 5mg hydroxytyrosol per 20g of oil — we offer over 25mg.
- Focus on oxidative stress: Targets the root of cardiovascular disease and inflammation.
Our EFSA health claim olive oil is tested and certified batch-by-batch by the University of Athens.
What Research Tells Us
- EFSA confirmed the protective effect of olive oil polyphenols on blood lipids through regulation 432/2012 1.
- Clinical trials show high-phenolic oils reduce LDL oxidation and improve cardiovascular markers 2.
- The FDA has also issued a qualified health claim recognizing olive oil’s role in reducing heart disease risk 3.
Summary: Health Claims That Actually Mean Something
Our formulas don’t just sound impressive — they meet the highest standards of European and U.S. regulatory science. The EFSA health claim olive oil is your assurance of potency, purity, and proof.
Tip: If a brand doesn’t declare polyphenol content or list a health claim, it’s likely underperforming — or not functional at all.
