The science behind the Mediterranean Diet
Why hydroxytyrosol matters — and why absorption changes everything.
Decades of research show that populations following the Mediterranean Diet experience lower rates of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and age-related illness.
Scientists attribute much of this benefit to olive polyphenols, especially hydroxytyrosol, one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature.
Hydroxytyrosol works by:
- Neutralizing oxidative stress
- Supporting healthy cholesterol metabolism
- Protecting cells from inflammation
- Supporting brain and vascular function
The challenge?
Most people don’t consume enough hydroxytyrosol through diet alone — even with high-quality olive oil.
Olivara solves this by delivering a standardized, highly bioavailable dose in a form your body can actually use.
