The creative team at Comvita have been busy creating lots of content around their new Olive Leaf Extract range, so that people can find everything related to Olive Leaf Extract at http://www.comvita.co.nz/store/oliveleaf . Focusing on Olive Leaf Extract this Hub brings together articles on Olive Leaf Extract, testimonials and links to the product range. It is also fascinating to read that Comvita actually own the olive farm that the product is produced on – a very salient fact.

A clinical trial in 2012 by researchers at the University of Auckland’s Liggins Institute showed that Comvita’s extract of Fresh-Picked™ olive leaves appreciably reduced some risk factors for developing Type 2 Diabetes. Principal Investigator and Liggins Institute Director Professor Wayne Cutfield said that supplementation with Comvita Fresh-Picked Olive Leaf Extract for 12 weeks improved the way that insulin was secreted and worked in overweight men. Insulin is an important hormone which controls metabolism by stimulating the transport of glucose and fat into cells.

“We saw significant improvements in standard measures of insulin action and secretion compared with placebo. The changes were of similar magnitude to those achieved with the commonly prescribed diabetes medication metformin, suggesting that these results could also have clinical relevance for patients with Type 2 Diabetes,” said Cutfield.  http://www.comvita.co.nz/store/article/comvita-fresh-picked™-olive-leaf-celebrates-scientific-success/2200348.

Similarly, learning more about how Comvita’s Fresh-Picked™ Olive Leaf Extract could help those needing blood sugar support and to maximise the opportunity this research offered, Comvita created an awareness campaign which ran throughout 2014, by partnering with Diabetes New Zealand members (www.fresholiveleaf.co.nz ). The campaign had over 800 New Zealand residents with elevated blood sugar levels participate. After using Comvita Fresh-Picked™ Olive Leaf Extract, 98% of participants went on to recommend the product and over 400 testimonials have been received.

Many of the testimonials are very compelling and the campaign increased awareness of Fresh-Picked™ Olive Leaf Extract and engagement levels with participants were high with many continuing to use Fresh-Picked™ Olive Leaf Extract well after they were first introduced to the product.

Comvita also have a link at http://www.comvita.co.nz/store/article/10-things-you-should-know-about-olive-leaf-extract/2200333  which is a very valuable guide to the Olive Leaf Extract product. All OLE products originate from Comvita's proprietary farm with 88,000+ Comvita olive trees which are hand selected with only the best olive tree varieties to produce the highest concentration and quality of olive leaf extract.  Trees are grown and cared for on Comvita's own purpose built olive groves and Comvita workers harvest the olive groves daily at sunrise and select only the freshest leaves for processing.  Olive leaves are quickly and carefully transported to an onsite facility where they are gently processed.
