HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: olive leaf extract at 500 mg per capsule. Olive leaf extract is the concentrated form of compounds from the olive plant's leaves.

The capsule also contains rice concentrate, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — the inactive ingredients that hold everything together and make the capsule itself.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: immune function, infection resistance, viral infection.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for olive leaf extract isn't established for the uses tracked in our data. For osteoporosis, dyspepsia (indigestion), exercise-induced respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis, the research is too limited or unclear to rate whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for one of those reasons, talk it over with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports a trial.

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 olive oil are very safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied. The safety data we hold notes that the long-term safety of concentrated olive supplements isn't well known, so it's wise to get your doctor's approval before starting.

In trials, olive leaf extract was generally well tolerated. The most common side effects were headache and stomach discomfort.

One person reported skin issues and acne. If you're allergic to olive tree pollen or have seasonal respiratory allergies, be aware that the pollen can trigger symptoms.

Meds to double-check

Known Interaction Concern · database check

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

No interactions are documented in our data for olive leaf extract. That doesn't mean they can't happen — it just means none are on record for this ingredient.

If you take medications regularly, it's still a good idea to run them through the search tool on this page or ask your pharmacist before you start.

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.

Olive leaf extract is generally well tolerated, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't clear for the conditions tracked. Because concentrated supplements are less studied than the food forms, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting to make sure it fits your situation and won't interfere with anything else you're taking.

Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Olive Leaf Extract 500 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 olive leaf extract used for?
Olive leaf extract has been studied for osteoporosis, indigestion, respiratory infections after exercise, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis. However, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to confirm whether it actually works for any of these. Talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense to try it for your situation.
Is this safe to take long-term?
While olive leaf extract is generally well tolerated in trials, the long-term safety of concentrated supplements isn't well known. Olive as a food and olive oil are very safe, but this concentrated form hasn't been studied as much. Check with your doctor before starting.
What are the most common side effects?
In trials, the most common side effects were headache and stomach discomfort. One person also reported skin issues and acne. Most people tolerated it without problems.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for olive leaf extract in pregnancy or lactation. There isn't enough information to say it's safe or unsafe either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's okay in your situation.
What's in this capsule besides the olive leaf extract?
The capsule contains rice concentrate, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — all inactive ingredients that help form and stabilize the capsule.
