Wonderful with a suggestion if you get nausea from this.

I could tell right away after a few days this was working on my candida problem. I also really like it because it seems more gentle and safer than herbs like oregano. (I had a bad reaction with the oregano, its just too strong for a sensitive person). Also, I was looking for something that is safe if I were to get pregnant and this seems to be a safe one for that. One suggestion: I noticed that even though this was significantly helping me feel good it made me a little nauseous and the nausea increased the longer I took it. I read that this could be a side effect from Olive Leaf Extract. I was very disappointed because it was helping me so much but, I tried pouring the powder from the capsule in a little water. That did the trick! No nausea without the capsule! It is a very strong, unpleasant taste just to warn you but, totally worth it

6% vs 20% Oleuropein, Educate Yourself!

This is the first time I purchased Olive Leaf Extract and although I did research it before hand I was confused about this products 500mg potency with only 6% Oleuropein with there are 20% Oleuropein Vcaps out there. You want the 20% brand for several reasons, first and foremost because it is healthier and also because you get a much better bang for your buck. The seller of this product was great, I am satisfied with the purchasing experience, received my order fast. But again, this is not even close to being the best or second best product on the market. Research before you buy

BP is NORMAL!! This STUFF WORKS!!!

I bought this after researching natural herbs to treat high blood pressure. Mine had slowly been creeping up after I hit menopause and I did not want to go on BP meds. After changing my diet, losing weight and exercising, my BP still ranged from 140 to 150/90. Definitely mild hypertension. I bought Now Olive leaf and have been taking it for 8 weeks. I just took my BP (it was at 530pm) and I got 114/63 This stuff is a Godsend! My doctor will be very pleased. I'm also giving it to my husband whose BP is a little high. I will measure his soon to see if it helps

I recommend using a small amount and seeing how much you …

This is powerful stuff. Be careful how much you take or it can cause excessive dye-off from the bacteria and yeast dying in your body. I recommend using a small amount and seeing how much you can tolerate. Also, make sure you take probiotics in between taking these

Great for hashimoto's!!! Great for lungs and sinuses.

I don't know why they are asking about warmth. That's weird. But I do love this stuff. If you have hashimotos, you need this. It helps the healing process and lowers the inflammation. Took this with my thyroid meds during an attack. It helped right away. I didn't even know my neck was that swollen. I mean, I know that hashimoto's is inflammation of the thyroid (and so much more) but I just didn't realize how badly I was swollen. I felt my neck deflate like a popped balloon. Now I can breathe again. My lungs don't hurt. My voice is not hoarse. And I can make it through a day of work without needing a nap or crying! Now I take it three times a day and am not worried about needing so much thyroid meds. This, with an elimination diet should have me off the thyroid meds soon. I will keep you posted. I know how important it is to help others who suffer

Good edition to your cabinet.

Was a nice edition to my organic arsenal against my recent H-Pylori/SIBO/Stomach ailments. Didn't have any side affects either

NOW sounds good to me – except this product is not effective

Good price, good brand -- should be a no-brainer but it was not so with this one. This is a weak concentration of the active ingredient that in essence will cost you more compared to products from other brands. 6% of 500mg is not enough. If you double the dose, it basically doubles the price. Other brands offer 17% and 20% in the similar price range/quantities. Had to use half the supply, I bought, to figure that it's not as effective as I hoped so I cannot even return it now (good way to make money... in the short term). Keep on looking and spending more $$ :-

this season there was a really bad bug going around

I take this daily to help relieve my chronic sinusitis issues, it helps but does not fully relieve my severe symptoms, it does however improve my quality of life/comfort levels. Taking this every day it really boosts my immune system, this season there was a really bad bug going around. Everyone around me was getting it friends, colleagues, clients, even my boyfriend got it super bad. but it totally skipped past me and I think it has to do with taking this every day! I recommend olive leaf to people all the time, especially when they need an immune boost
