Oleuropein: An Iridoid Glycoside (secoiridoid)
extracted from Olive leaves. In recent years oleuropein has been subjected to
extensive research. Oleuropein has always been regarded as antimicrobial but
recently better known for hypotensive qualities and coronary vasodilator
properties. There are many who believe that the synergy between the irridoid
glycosides and phenolic derivatives deserves more research.

Iridoid Glycosides: Found in many plants Iridoids are very
bitter. These bitter principles stimulates the release of gastrin in the
digestive system, which in turn stimulates the secretions of bile and other
digestive chemicals. Iridoid Glycosides have laxative and antimicrobal
properties. There are many that believe that Iridoid Glycosides also have
anti-inflammatory properties but so far the only tests have revealed a very weak
anti-inflammatory effect. |
