The Gourmante Mediterranean Olive Fruit & Leaf Extracts is one of the products developed by the Gourmante team, in partnership with a Greek pharmaceutical and research company, to combat the problem of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the top global cause of death. Experts believe that 90 percent of CVD is preventable. The most common cause of CVD is the narrowing and eventual blockage of blood vessels. This is a process known as atherosclerosis and is the result of the build-up of fatty deposits in the lining of the blood vessels.

The Mediterranean diet, particularly olive tree products, has been found to be rich in polyphenolic compounds that have anti-inflammatory and free radical-scavenging properties. The EFSA has confirmed that a daily intake of 5 mg of olive oil polyphenols may result in the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the EU commission has also approved a relevant health claim.

The unique mechanism of the Gourmante Mediterranean Olive Fruit & Leaf Extracts is through the QH-2™ complex, which is an optimal combination of natural bioactive polyphenols of the Mediterranean olive fruit, olive oil, and olive leaves. This product has a high concentration of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, verbascosides, oleuropein, and other similar compounds in an adequate ratio that provides them with higher efficacy and activity.
