HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive by Hawaii Pharm

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 liquid contains one active ingredient: olive leaf extract, a dried concentrate from the olive plant. The extract is suspended in alcohol, water, and glycerin.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Olive product and its label doesn't state a use — see Olive's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that olive leaf extract works for the conditions listed on the label — osteoporosis, indigestion (dyspepsia), respiratory infections from exercise, shingles, flu, or osteoarthritis. All six conditions carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, meaning either the studies are too small, too few, or too mixed to draw a firm conclusion.

That's not the same as saying it doesn't work; it means we simply don't have the data to confirm it does.

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 fruit and olive oil as foods are very safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less well studied. The most common side effects reported in trials are headache and stomach discomfort.

One person in a trial reported skin problems and acne. If you have seasonal allergies to olive tree pollen, be aware that may be a concern.

Because concentrated olive leaf extract safety isn't fully known, check with your doctor before starting it. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for olive leaf extract.

There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations.

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 this ingredient. That said, check your exact medications using the search tool on this page, and clear it with your own pharmacist before you start — absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Hawaii Pharm's Olive Leaf Extract is generally well tolerated based on trial data, but the evidence for what it's marketed to treat isn't established yet. The concentrated form is less studied than olives or olive oil as food.

If you're considering it for a specific condition, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first to see if it fits your situation.

Olive by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Olive by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Olive. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Olive 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 are the most common side effects?
Headache and stomach discomfort are the most common side effects reported in trials. One person also reported skin problems and acne. If you have allergies to olive tree pollen, that may be a concern for you.
Is olive leaf extract safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for olive leaf extract in pregnancy or breastfeeding. There isn't enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's appropriate for you.
Does this really help with flu or shingles?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works for either condition. Both carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, so we can't confirm it helps based on the studies available to us.
What is olive leaf extract?
It's a dried concentrate made from the leaves of the olive plant, suspended in alcohol, water, and glycerin in this liquid form.
Is this the same as olive oil?
No. Olive oil and whole olives as food are very safe, but this product is a concentrated supplement extract, which is less well studied. The safety profile is different, so check with your doctor before starting it.
