Science-Backed Olivino "Mediterranean Diet Supplement" Officially Debuts, Backed by World-Renowned Scientific Advisory Board
New Daily Dietary Supplement Combines Convenience and Powerful Mediterranean Diet Health Benefits
DAVIS, Calif., May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of May, International Mediterranean Diet month, OlivinoLife, Inc., leading creator of science-based Mediterranean Diet products, today officially launched Olivino™, the first Mediterranean Diet supplement. Olivino combines the highest-quality, non-GMO bioactive ingredients derived from Mediterranean Diet staple foods: olives, grapes and tomatoes. The effectiveness of each ingredient has been tested in numerous human clinical studies (see https://olivinolife.com/research/). When taken daily, the active ingredients in Olivino may offer unique health benefits.
"The Mediterranean Diet is rich in 'functional' ingredients including plant-based polyphenols and antioxidants from olive pulp, grape seeds and skins, and lycopene, the most powerful antioxidant carotenoid from tomatoes," said Dr. Clare Hasler-Lewis, CEO and co-founder of OlivinoLife. "Most of us don't eat these foods every day, so we developed Olivino to provide the basics of the Mediterranean Diet in a convenient form. My desire to improve personal health through functional foods goes back decades and is driven by my professional commitment to making a healthy lifestyle accessible, practical and convenient."
The Mediterranean Diet is the most-researched eating pattern in the world. In 2010, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) identified the Mediterranean Diet as a healthy eating pattern in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2015, the Dietary Guidelines renewed its recommendation of the Mediterranean Diet as a premier healthy eating pattern. Olives, grapes and tomatoes are key foods in the Mediterranean Diet, and the principle bioactive components in Olivino.
Abundant Bioactives in Each 2-Capsule Dose
Each 2-capsule daily serving of Olivino contains extracts from over 300 grapes, 30 olives and 5 large tomatoes. Each serving also includes less than a gram of fiber.
The olive extract in Olivino is an exclusive ingredient from selected olives from southern Italy with a very high polyphenol content.
The tomato ingredient, lycopene, the most potent of antioxidants in the tomato, has been shown to positively impact skin health. Each serving of Olivino contains the amount of lycopene that may increase skin's tolerance to sun exposure, reducing wrinkle formation and increasing elasticity. Lycopene has also been shown to support healthy blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels and maintain prostate health.
The grape ingredients have been shown to have the highest impact on cardiovascular health. Blood pressure and cholesterol have been lowered in human clinical trials with the amounts included in each serving of Olivino.
Olive polyphenols may positively impact skin and cardiovascular health and maintain healthy blood glucose levels. What makes this Olivino ingredient especially interesting that North Americans consume very few olives, long a staple of the Mediterranean Diet, when compared to diets in other parts of Europe.
Today, OlivinoLife also announced its founding Scientific Advisory Board, confirming the global interest and support for the Mediterranean Diet-based supplement, and the highly qualified OlivinoLife leadership team.
"With decades-long careers and leadership roles in health and nutrition, my fellow Board members and I believe strongly in the OlivinoLife team and the benefits Olivino delivers," asserted Advisory Board member and noted skin care expert Dr. Susan K. Silva.
