HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive by Herbs, Etc.
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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: olive. It's a liquid extract made with 60% grain alcohol and purified water.
Olive has been studied for a range of conditions — osteoporosis, indigestion, exercise-related respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis — though the evidence for any of those is not yet reliable enough to say whether it works.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold on olive doesn't reach a level where we can say it's effective for any of its studied uses. The data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for osteoporosis, indigestion, exercise-induced respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies so far haven't been strong enough to confirm it.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Olive as food and oil is very safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied. When olive is taken by mouth in typical food amounts, it's well tolerated.
Olive leaf extract in trials also seems well tolerated overall. Headache and stomach discomfort are the most commonly reported side effects.
One person in a trial reported skin irritation and acne. If you're allergic to olive tree pollen, know that it can trigger seasonal respiratory allergy.
The safety data on this concentrated supplement form isn't as well established as it is for olives and olive oil eaten as food, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you have any health concerns.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for this product's ingredients.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Olive might appeal to you if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for its effectiveness at any of the conditions it's marketed for is not yet strong. It's generally well tolerated when used in food amounts, though concentrated supplements are less studied.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it fits your routine and health goals.
