When it comes to fighting inflammation, high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil (HPEVOO) is the gold standard. Unlike regular olive oils, it contains concentrated levels of bioactive polyphenols like oleocanthal and hydroxytyrosol — both of which target the body’s inflammatory pathways.
- Oleocanthal acts like natural ibuprofen, inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes involved in inflammation
- Hydroxytyrosol neutralizes free radicals that trigger chronic inflammatory responses
- Reduces systemic markers of inflammation, such as CRP and TNF-α
- Supports immune balance without suppressing healthy inflammatory responses needed for healing
👉 Our Greek High-Phenolic Olive Oil is lab-tested for anti-inflammatory potency — delivering real results through food-grade purity.
- Oleocanthal has been shown to inhibit inflammatory enzymes as effectively as low-dose ibuprofen 1.
- Clinical trials found reductions in inflammatory markers after 3–6 weeks of daily HPEVOO intake in patients with metabolic syndrome 2.
- Regular consumption is linked to lower incidence of inflammatory diseases, including arthritis and cardiovascular disease.
The anti-inflammatory effect is dose-dependent and maximized in cold-pressed, polyphenol-rich olive oil.
If you’re managing inflammation — whether for joint health, gut function, or cardiovascular protection — high-phenolic olive oil offers a safe and science-backed way to bring relief. Its polyphenol concentration is key to unlocking these benefits.
⚠️ Choose oils with ≥250 mg/kg of polyphenols and use raw (not heated) to preserve anti-inflammatory compounds.
