HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive Leaf Extract by Puritan's Pride
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: olive leaf extract. Olive leaves have been used traditionally, and the extract concentrates compounds from the leaf.
The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose and gelatin, which are standard inactive ingredients (fillers and capsule material).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold is not strong enough to rate olive leaf extract for any of the conditions it's marketed for — osteoporosis, upset stomach (dyspepsia), respiratory infections from exercise, shingles, flu, or osteoarthritis. That means we don't have reliable data saying it works or doesn't work; the research just isn't there yet or isn't solid enough to draw a conclusion.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Olive as a food and olive oil are very safe. Olive leaf extract in supplement form is less well studied, and concentrated supplements aren't as reassuring as the whole food.
Most people who take it seem to tolerate it well. The most common side effects reported in trials were headache and stomach discomfort.
One person in a trial reported skin problems and acne. If you have seasonal allergies to tree pollen, keep in mind that olive pollen can trigger respiratory allergy.
We don't have enough data on olive leaf extract in pregnancy or lactation to say whether it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That said, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page before you start to make sure.
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 that it actually works for any particular condition is too weak to rely on. Because the safety of concentrated supplements is less certain than whole olives or olive oil, get the okay from your own doctor or pharmacist before you start — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have seasonal pollen allergies.
