Olive Oil and Olive Extract May Protect Brain Cells
I use a vitamin C product that also includes an olive extract as a synergistic partner.

Quote:
"This study indicates that hydroxytyrosol and extra-virgin olive oil afford neuroprotection and might contribute to the lower incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, as observed in the Mediterranean area. Moreover, we corroborate that olive mill wastewater can be exploited for obtaining hydroxytyrosol -rich extracts with promising biological effects," concluded the researchers.
The results were welcomed by Mr. Pablo Baena, responsible for research and development at Genosa. "Polyphenols are being associated to exerting neuronal biological activities and brain biomarkers reflecting antioxidant response," he said.
"Hydroxytyrosol is a low weight molecule with a significant antioxidant potential by acting as a free radical scavenger and non-toxic to DBC under the current experimental design."
