HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bonolive 250 mg by Swanson Ultra

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This single-ingredient product contains bonolive, a concentrated form of olive extract. The inactive ingredients are brown rice flour and hypromellose (a capsule material), plus one or both of an additional ingredient we don't have details on — your label will tell you which.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Olive's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Bonolive standardized olive leaf polyphenols for bone health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, Bone density, Bone strength.
  • The closest evidence on file: Olive is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Olive is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis.

The evidence for bonolive isn't established yet. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for osteoporosis, indigestion (dyspepsia), exercise-induced respiratory infections, shingles, flu, or osteoarthritis.

If you're looking for one of these, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product makes sense for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Olive

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Olive oil and olives as everyday foods are very safe, but safety data on concentrated supplements like this one is limited. The most common side effects in trials were headache and stomach discomfort; one person reported skin problems and acne.

Olive pollen can trigger seasonal allergies in sensitive people. Because the safety profile of concentrated olive supplements isn't as well known as whole olives or oil, your doctor should approve it before you take it.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we checked. That doesn't mean none exist — concentrated olive supplements are less studied than whole olives or oil — so check your exact medications with the search tool and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Bonolive is a single-ingredient olive extract with no documented medication interactions, but it's not proven effective for the conditions it's marketed for. The safety data on concentrated olive supplements is thin compared to olive oil or whole olives as food.

If you're interested in it, talk it through with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it fits your health goals.

Bonolive 250 mg by Swanson Ultra: Common Questions

Does Bonolive 250 mg by Swanson Ultra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Bonolive 250 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bonolive 250 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is bonolive?
Bonolive is a concentrated extract from olives. While olives and olive oil as food are very safe, this concentrated supplement form has less safety research behind it.
Does it work for arthritis or bone health?
The evidence isn't established yet. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate bonolive for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or the other conditions listed — so we can't say whether it works for those uses.
What side effects should I expect?
In trials, the most common side effects were headache and stomach discomfort. One person reported skin problems and acne. If you have allergies to olive pollen, you might react to this supplement.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for this ingredient. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's okay for you.
Can I take this with my blood pressure or heart medications?
No interactions are documented in our data, but concentrated olive supplements are less studied than whole olives or oil. Check your exact medications with the search tool on this page, and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.
