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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: 500 mg of olive leaf extract per capsule. Olive leaf extract comes from the leaves of the olive plant and has been used traditionally for various purposes.
The inactive ingredients are rice concentrate, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — standard capsule fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold on olive leaf extract shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for osteoporosis, indigestion (dyspepsia), exercise-induced respiratory infections, shingles (herpes zoster), influenza, or osteoarthritis. In other words, we don't have solid data yet to say whether it works for these uses.
If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Olive leaf extract seems to be well tolerated overall. The most common side effects reported in trials are headache and stomach discomfort.
One person in a trial reported skin problems and acne. Because olives and olive oil as foods are very safe but concentrated supplements are less studied, it's wise to get your doctor's approval before taking a concentrated olive leaf supplement.
There's also a note that olive tree pollen can trigger seasonal respiratory allergies in sensitive people. Pregnancy and lactation safety data isn't on file for this ingredient — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for olive leaf extract. That doesn't mean none exist, so if you're on any regular medications, run them through the checker on this page or confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
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 what it actually does is limited. If you take any medications, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that adding this is okay for you — it's always smart to double-check before you start a new supplement.
Your healthcare provider can help you decide if it fits your health plan.
