Olive Leaf Extract
Uses: Olive leaf Extract is a natural
antimicrobial that has been used for dietary support in
controlling many viruses, fungi, bacteria, and even some
parasites. This product is doctor-recommended. However,
as the manufacturer, Seagate is not permitted by FDA to
make specific medical claims for this product regarding
its ability to kill off microorganisms that cause
specific disease.
The Source: Seagate employees hand select our
olive leaves from local trees immediately after the
olives are harvested each winter. This is the moment of
highest level of phytochemical and antioxidant activity
once the fruit has ripened.
Manufacture: Seagate employs a cold-press
freshwater extraction process, without the use of any
chemicals, solvents, or alcohol. We use a mechanical
process to crush the leaves, before they are placed in a
freshwater bath where the phytochemicals are dissolved.
Specially-designed vacuum tanks are then used to recover
both dissolved and undissolved solids. This is a whole
herb extract that carefully concentrates all the
phytochemicals provided by Nature, without having any
residual solvent appear in the finished product, and
without altering the delicate structure and balance of
the phytochemicals and nutritional components of the
olive leaf.
Oleuropein controversy: The oleuropein contained
in this Seagate product is just one element of the array
of active phytochemicals found in the olive leaf which
some companies have mistakenly used as their measure of
potency. Seagate uses independent laboratories to test
our finished product for quality and purity, as we do
for all our other products.
Side Effects: Olive leaves have been used safely
for thousands of years. The only known side-effect is
the possibility of a Herxheimer reaction, an allergic
response caused by the rapid die-off of germs that
release toxins which may temporarily cause a brief
allergic reaction, lasting for several days.
Purity: There is no filler or excipient in this
or any Seagate product. It is 100% pure, derived only
from olive leaves. That is why the product is green.
Application: Dietary support maybe needed to
protect you against resistant strains of bacteria,
fungi, and viruses. Take 2 to 4 capsules per day as a
maintenance level. Take 4 to 9 capsules per day for
additional support, for up to 10 days. Olive leaf can be
taken with or between meals; although it is preferable
to be taken one half hour before meal time. For throat
irritations, you can open a capsule, dissolve the powder
in 4 oz. of warm water, and gargle and swallow to help
sooth your throat. The powder from this capsule can also
be applied topically directly onto external skin
irritations – a drop or two of water can be added to
make a paste and gently rubbed into the skin. The skin
will absorb the powder and its light green natural
coloring. (The color will wash off with soap and water.)
For irritations of the mouth or gums, pack some powder
directly onto the irritated tissue and allow it to
slowly dissolve.
Value: One Seagate 450 mg. capsule costs about
the same as the 250 mg. capsules made by many of our
competitors. We are able to provide better value because
we do not purchase our raw material from other dealers.
Seagate harvests and performs the entire extraction
process in our own plant. Seagate is now able to realize
cost economies from processing 13 health food products
within the same plant.
