Olive Oil
CLINICAL SUMMARY

Pharmaceutical Grade olive oil must be considered to be the best of olive oils. It has all the elements of nutritional interest, as it has not been subjected to any refining process. The main fatty acid in Pharmaceutical Grade olive oil is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid (55-83% of the total fatty acids); there are also polyunsaturated fatty acids (4-20%), saturated fatty acids (8-14%) and other major components, particularly antioxidants such as Vitamin E and polyphenols. The beneficial effects of the olive oil on health are due both to the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and to the content of antioxidant substances.
