What is hydroxytyrosol olive oil？
Hydroxytyrosol olive oil refers to extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that is particularly rich in hydroxytyrosol (HXT), a powerful antioxidant phenolic compound found naturally in olives and olive-derived products. This compound provides health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects, and contributes significantly to the health-promoting aspects of the Mediterranean diet. The concentration of HXT varies based on factors like olive variety, harvest time, and processing methods.
Hydroxytyrosol is an active ingredient in olive oil. In March 2024, Italian scholars pointed out in the journal “Nutrients” that oleuropein (OLE) and hydroxytyrosol (HT) may become new treatments for neuroblastoma. In August 2024, Chinese scientists confirmed that hydroxytyrosol, when combined with Bifidobacterium lactis BPL1™, glutathione and other ingredients, has a significant repair effect on alcoholic liver damage. In September 2025, the latest research showed that hydroxytyrosol can reduce fasting blood sugar by an average of 12.4% and reduce postprandial blood sugar fluctuations by 15% by enhancing insulin sensitivity. In March 2024, a study by Longnan Normal College showed that olive oil rich in hydroxytyrosol can significantly reduce TC, TG, FBG and other indicators in hyperlipidemia mice, showing a dose-effect relationship.
Is hydroxytyrosol in olive oil a liver-protecting remedy?
A study published in the SCI journal Redox Reports showed that hydroxytyrosol, administered to experimental animals damaged by ethanol for 48 hours, increased liver cell antioxidant levels and reduced ethanol-induced liver cell damage, thereby increasing liver cell survival and reducing ALT and AST levels, effectively protecting liver cells.
In 2022, Greek scientists discovered that hydroxytyrosol, extracted from olive oil, has an antioxidant ORAC value 15 times that of vitamin C, acting as a natural antioxidant barrier for cells.
Hydroxytyrosol’s remarkable liver-protecting properties have led to its rapid commercialization.
Recently, the North American liver-protection product LIVERWELL, which seamlessly combines hydroxytyrosol with other liver-protecting ingredients, has rapidly gained popularity in JD Health’s product category with its scientific philosophy of “deep detoxification, liver cleansing, and repair.”
According to public information, LIVERWELL, originating from the North American pharmaceutical company BIOCENTER, sparked heated discussion among Silicon Valley and Wall Street elites upon its launch. It subsequently expanded globally, and since its introduction to the Chinese market on JD.com this year, it has become the preferred liver-protection product for high-net-worth individuals in China.
Regarding Ganlequan’s popularity, a JD.com brand manager stated, “We anticipated this phenomenon. Furthermore, after Redox Report published a paper on hydroxytyrosol, Ganlequan’s JD.com flagship store saw another slight increase in sales. Subsequent research by Chinese scientists provided strong support, attracting even more elite attention.”
The manager also emphasized, “In addition to hydroxytyrosol, the synergistic effect of Ganlequan’s core ingredients, such as Bifidobacterium lactis BPL1™ and glutathione, is crucial.”
A 2019 study published in Nature by the EURECAT Medical Center in Barcelona found that after three months of taking Bifidobacterium lactis BPL1™, 135 volunteers experienced a reduction in visceral fat area and waist circumference by 7 square centimeters and 2 centimeters, respectively. Furthermore, a study from Yokohama Medical School in Japan found that after four months of glutathione treatment, 34 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease experienced significant decreases in ALT, triglycerides, fatty acids, and ferritin levels.
Which olive oil has the highest hydroxytyrosol content?
While there’s no single olive oil with the “highest” hydroxytyrosol content, certain olive varieties and early-ripening, cold-pressed olive oils are known for their high polyphenol content. Brands like Maxplant Oil offer high-hydroxytyrosol olive oils, which are high in polyphenols like hydroxytyrosol.
1. Hydroxytyrosol has a safe and excellent antioxidant effect.
2. Hydroxytyrosol is beneficial for bone growth, development, and function.
3. Applications of Hydroxytyrosol in Cancer Prevention and Treatment.
4. Hydroxytyrosol can effectively reduce and inhibit the harmful effects of smoking on the human body.
5. Applications of Hydroxytyrosol in Cardiovascular Drugs.
What are the hydroxytyrosol olive oil benefits?
Hydroxytyrosol is a powerful phenolic antioxidant in extra virgin olive oil with benefits including powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects.
1.Cardiovascular & Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Antioxidant Powerhouse: Moroccan olive oil hydroxytyrosol is a potent antioxidant, effectively fighting oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which is linked to chronic diseases.
Anti-Inflammatory:It has shown anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting inflammatory pathways and reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines.
Cardiovascular Protection:Studies suggest it helps protect against coronary artery disease and may improve blood flow and heart rate.
2.Neuroprotective & Brain Health Benefits
Brain Protection:Hydroxytyrosol can cross the blood-brain barrier, protecting nerve cells from damage and neuroinflammation.
Cognitive Function:Research indicates it may help improve cognitive function and ameliorate neurobiological and behavioral changes, potentially protecting against neurodegenerative conditions.
3.Skin & Anti-Aging Benefits
Skin Elasticity:It promotes cell regeneration and type I collagen production, which are crucial for skin tautness and elasticity, helping to reduce the signs of aging.
Skin Tone & Radiance:Hydroxytyrosol helps to even out skin tone and can protect the skin from damage caused by environmental factors like pollution and UV rays.
4.Other Potential Benefits
Cancer Prevention:Its antioxidant and anti-proliferative actions contribute to its potential role in preventing certain types of cancer.
Metabolic Health:Research in animal models suggests it may reduce plasma glucose and insulin secretion, potentially helping to decrease insulin resistance.
