HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive Leaf 187 mg by Nature's Answer

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has 2 active ingredients: olive fruit and olive leaf extract (Olea europaea). Both come from the olive plant and are included at 187 mg total per capsule.

The capsule also contains rice flour, vegetable cellulose (the capsule material), and calcium silicate as inactive ingredients.

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 extract isn't established in the data we hold. The product lists six potential uses — osteoporosis, indigestion (dyspepsia), exercise-induced respiratory infections, shingles (herpes zoster), influenza, and osteoarthritis — but all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the studies to date aren't strong enough to know whether it works for any of these.

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 as a food and oil is very safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less well studied. The facts note a caution: check with your doctor before using concentrated olive supplements, since their long-term safety profile isn't as clear as whole olives or olive oil.

In clinical trials, olive leaf extract has been well tolerated overall. The most common side effects reported were headache and stomach discomfort.

One person reported acne or skin problems. Olive tree pollen can trigger seasonal respiratory allergy in people who are sensitive to it.

There isn't enough data on file about safety in pregnancy or lactation — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Olive Leaf 187 mg by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Olive Leaf 187 mg by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Olive Leaf 187 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Olive Leaf 187 mg contains 2 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.
What does olive leaf extract actually do?
The product lists six potential uses — osteoporosis, indigestion, exercise respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis — but the evidence for any of them isn't established in our data. That means we don't have reliable proof yet that it works for these conditions.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Olive leaf extract has been well tolerated in trials. The most common side effects were headache and stomach discomfort. One person reported skin or acne problems. If you're sensitive to olive tree pollen, this could trigger seasonal respiratory allergy.
Is it safe to take if I eat a normal diet with olive oil?
Olive oil and olives as food are very safe. This concentrated supplement is less studied, though — so check with your doctor before you start, since the long-term safety of concentrated olive supplements isn't as well known.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough data on file to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
