Where does olive leaf come from and what parts are used?
Olive leaf is originally from the Mediterranean regions, but today it is grown in many parts of the world. The green to black fruit as well as the oil and the dried green-grayish coloured leaves are used medicinally. How much is usually taken? The effective amount of olive leaf for human use is not established. Dried leaf extracts containing 615% oleuropein are normally available commercially. As a tincture, 34ml of olive leaf can be taken up to three times per day.
