The truth about high-polyphenol olive oil

4.9 out of 5

90% of olive oils are not healthy.Here's why, and what to choose instead.

'Extra virgin' doesn't mean healthy. What makes it healthy are antioxidants called polyphenols.

Studies show only 1 in 10 have health benefits.

Olive oil's health benefits come from antioxidants called polyphenols.

“The health benefits of olive oil are 99 percent related to the presence of the phenolic compounds, not the oil itself.”
NMNasir MalikPlant physiologist, U.S. Department of Agriculture
Approved by EFSA

High in polyphenols =3 EFSA-approved health claims

Hit the polyphenol threshold and an olive oil earns three official EU health claims, and that's only what the science has proven so far.

Protect your blood lipidsProtect your blood lipidsPolyphenols help protect your blood fats from oxidative stress, with just 1 tablespoon of oil a day.
Protect your cellsProtect your cellsVitamin E helps shield your cells from oxidative stress. One tablespoon covers 32% of your daily Vitamin E.
Support healthy cholesterolSupport healthy cholesterolSwapping saturated fat for unsaturated helps keep cholesterol normal, and this oil is over 75% oleic acid.

Supermarket olive oil is low in polyphenols, because they focus on quantity, not quality

Olives keep growing and filling with oil as they ripen, but their polyphenols fade. Harvesting late means more litres per tree, which is why most supermarket olive oil is low in polyphenols.

High-polyphenol oil

Harvested early, when the olives are hard, green and high in polyphenols.

Polyphenols fade as olives ripen

Early harvestLate harvest
OctNovDecJanFeb
Supermarket oil

Harvested late, when the olives are dark, juicy and low in polyphenols.

High polyphenol oil =2.2x more olives per bottle

High-polyphenol olives are picked when small, so each one gives less oil and it takes more than twice as many to fill a bottle. More olives = more polyphenols.

    ​I am 64 and for a couple of years have noticed a decline in my knee and hip mobility. I have been drinking a tablespoon of the green machine EVOO every morning for 6 weeks. I have already noticed an improvement in my overall mobility. I don’t take any other supplements so I am sure my increased mobility can only be as a result of taking the green machine EVOO.

    ​Green machine olive oil is light and smooth and delicious with a pleasing peppery kick at the end. Highest number of polyphenols I've ever found in an olive oil. The pouring mechanism takes a little getting used to but it's worth being patient for the health benefits.

    Response from Source Known

    Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback, Helen🙏 I understand the pouring mechanism is a little different than you're used to. The pourer uses a double seal technique to make sure no oxygen enters the bottle/oil when pouring. We use this to preserve the maximum amount of polyphenols/ freshness. I hope it gets a little easier to use over time. I always give the bottle a shake when upside down, so the oil comes out easily. Let me know if you keep running into trouble and we can find a solution🤝

    The oil itself is awesome, but the bottle has trouble puring the oil out consistently. Sometimes you have to shake the oil out, other times you can easily pour it out. But would recommend!

    Well packaged and good fast delivery. Love the taste, good peppery kick. Only had store bought olive oil before, so can definitely taste the difference. I take a tablespoon every morning and use it on my daily salads which I take to work. Been taking it for a little while now and strangely enough, it seems to be helping with alleviating joint stiffness (knees and ankles) in the mornings.

    Hey Michael, very happy to read your review. I am curious if you'll notice improvements in your joint stiffness. Would really appreciate if you could let me know in a while how it's going🙏 you can always reach us at hi@olvlimits.com. Best wishes and good luck with everything.

    It seems to be rather good. My 92 year old mother rubbed some into her legs which were causing her pain yesterday. Today she said I think that Olive Oil is good, I think it is working, there is no pain now, I'll continue to use it. It definitely has a significant peppery sting when swallowed, probably need a glass of water close at hand. Good quality EVOO is amazing health wise, and this is good quality EVOO.

    ​The first taste gives you the surprise peppery taste in the back of the throat, although you get used to that on subsequent tastings. Overall I am enjoying the flavour. Noticing how few olive oils state a polyphenol content on the bottles.

    Response from Source Known

    Thanks for the kind feedback, Neville. And yes, you are completely right! More companies should test and mention their polyphenol content. Hopefully we can set a new standard for quality in the EVOO market🤝
