Hydroxytyrosol Symbol,
main polyphenol/antioxidant present in the olive. They are essential to protect our cells and tissues from oxidative stress.
The ECOPROLIVE process allows to achieve higher concentration of polyphenols in our products.
The Spanish Heart Foundation in its report “Antioxidants, what are they and what are they for?” indicates that its intake is essential to maintain health, broadly and effectively protecting the consumer.
Our body, when generating energy, releases “toxins” or oxygen free radicals whose effect on cells can result in the appearance of chronic diseases or accelerate aging. Antioxidants help the body to reduce oxidative stress, that is, to eliminate toxins. They prevent the development of cancer, myocardial infarction, stroke and damage to the immune system due to its anti-inflammatory effect.
* The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) establishes a minimum of 5 mg of antioxidants (hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives) per 20 grams to consider a healthy olive oil for cardiovascular effects. Minimum daily intake of olive oil: 20 grams.
