A natural polyphenol compound originally derived from olive leaf extract, mainly present in the fruits and branches of olives.

Traditional preparation often comes from olive oil or the waste liquid generated from olive oil processing.

High quality natural equivalent products can be prepared more efficiently and environmentally-friendly through biosynthesis.

The maximum amount used in fish oil is 215 mg/kg, the maximum amount used in vegetable oil is 215 mg/kg, and the maximum amount used in margarine is 175 mg/kg.

Hydroxtyrosol is a phytochemical belonging to the family of polyphenols. It is a natural product and the main antioxidant in olives.

In western countries there is a long history of olive oi use in daily life, and of studies regarding olive oil. Because of its promising health benefits, European Union and USA have approved the applications of Hydroxytyrosol in Food / Cosmetic / Nutritional Supplements etc.

The Panel concludes that the novel food, hydroxytyrosol, is safe under the proposed uses and use levels.

Antioxidant:

Hydroxytyrosol is a highly bioavailable phytochemical with a superior antioxidant capacity, responsible for most of the health benefits of olive polyphenols.

Hydroxytyrosol -Bioactive Natural Antioxidant

The most powerful natural antioxidant bioactive ingredient found so far

Hydroxyityrosol's antioxidant capacity is 2 and 20 times greater than that of resveratrol and vitamin C, respectively.

Protection against UV Radiation:

Hydroxytyrosol prevents cell damage when exposed to harmful UV radiation. This molecule significantly reduces the UV-induced breakdown of DNA strands and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as it inhibits the proliferation of the reactive species caused by the incident radiation.

Recovery after Sunburn and Skin Protection

● Hydroxytyrosol can effectively improve skin condition and keep skin moisturized for a long time.

● Studies show that hydroxtyrosol has anti-aging functions, such as anti-wrinkle and anti-infammatory effects.

● Hydroxytyrosol can restore skin damage and help regenerate skin cells and soften dry skin.

Antibacterial:

Hydroxytyrosol has potent antimicrobial properties against different types of bacteria.

Other Health Benefits of Hydroxytyrosol:

1. Prevention of neuro-degeneration diseases. Several studies suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the etiology of a number of degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer or Alzheimer's.

2. Protection against ARMD (age-related macular degeneration). This is a disease related to age and other harmful effects such as smoking. Hydroxytyrosol's properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and protection of the pigment epithelium, can minimize the appearance and development of this disease.

3. Prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The cardioprotective capacity of Hydroxytyrosol is endorsed by the EFSA with a health claim for its inhibitory activity on the oxidation of LDL lipoproteins, which leads to diseases such as atherosclerosis.

4. Anti-inflammatory. Hydroxytyrosol has been shown to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory compounds caused by human leukocytes such as leukotrienes.

Why Choose Viablife Hydroxytyrosol:

Viablife is currently the only manufacturer in China who can provide commercial scale >99% purity Hydroxytyrosol using its leading Biosynthesis and Fermentation technology.
