HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive Formula 1,000 mg by GNC Herbal Plus

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 3 ingredients: olive leaf extract and olive fruit extract (listed twice). These are concentrated forms of compounds found in olives and olive leaves.

The inactive ingredients — cellulose, titanium dioxide, and vegetable acetoglycerides — are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

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 for olive leaf and olive fruit extract isn't well established yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate this product for osteoporosis, indigestion (dyspepsia), exercise-related respiratory infections, shingles (herpes zoster), flu, or osteoarthritis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means more rigorous studies are needed to know either way.

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 leaf and fruit extracts are generally well tolerated. The most common side effects reported are headache and stomach discomfort.

A small number of trial participants reported skin problems or acne. If you're allergic to olive tree pollen, you may want to avoid this supplement.

The safety data we hold doesn't include pregnancy or breastfeeding information. Olive oil and olives as foods are safe, but concentrated supplements are less studied.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Olive Formula 1,000 mg contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.

Headache and stomach discomfort are the most commonly reported. One trial participant reported skin problems. If you're sensitive to olive tree pollen, this product might trigger seasonal allergy symptoms.
Is this safe to take if I eat olive oil?

Does this work for arthritis or other conditions?
The evidence isn't established yet. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to say whether olive leaf or fruit extract helps with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, indigestion, the flu, shingles, or exercise-related respiratory infections. More research is needed.
