HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Olive Leaf Glycerite by NOW
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 leaf has been studied for a range of uses, from bone and joint health to immune support during cold and flu season.
The extract is delivered in a glycerite base — a liquid made with glycerin and water — which makes it easy to take by mouth. Glycerin and water are inactive ingredients (the base that carries the active component); they're not counted as actives and they're there to make the product drinkable.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for olive leaf extract isn't clear yet for the conditions it's marketed for. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works for osteoporosis, dyspepsia (indigestion), exercise-induced respiratory infections, shingles, influenza, or osteoarthritis.
That means studies haven't given us enough solid proof one way or the other. If you're thinking about using this for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current evidence supports a try.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Olive as a food and oil is very safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied. Most people tolerate olive leaf extract well when taken by mouth.
The most common side effects reported in trials are headache and stomach discomfort. One person in a trial reported skin issues and acne.
Keep in mind that olive tree pollen can trigger seasonal respiratory allergy in people who are sensitive to it. Data on pregnancy and breastfeeding safety for this product isn't on file.
Since the safety of concentrated olive leaf supplements during pregnancy or lactation isn't well known, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check

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 Glycerite by NOW is generally well tolerated and has no documented drug interactions. The evidence for its effectiveness on specific health conditions isn't established yet in the data we hold.
It's a simple one-ingredient product, so you're not juggling multiple actives. If you're considering it for a particular reason, check in with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's the right choice for you.
