Antioxidant Comparisons


Olive Leaf Australia Pty Ltd is a company founded on the principles of scientific and medical research.

However, we also operate in an environment where an increasing number of companies are attempting to promote and sell their health supplements primarily on their product's antioxidant power or 'ORAC value'.  (NB. Some companies are doing this scientifically but unfortunately, many are trying to sell what they often describe as 'the most powerful antioxidant in the world!' using little more than skewed data and hype.)

As such, we have reported the ORAC and/or TAC values for a range of well-known, off-the-shelf products which are promoted for their antioxidant capacities.

To see how the ORAC and/or TAC results for MediOlive® Olive Leaf Complex compare with other products click on the graphs below.

3. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004, 52: 4026-4037
