Olive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, has long been celebrated for its health-promoting properties. In 2012 the EU issued a Health Claim defining the health benefits of olive oil rich in polyphenol: High Phenolic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (HP EVOO).
The health benefits of olive oil are 99 percent related to the presence of the phenolic compounds, not the oil itself, says Nasir Malik, research plant physiologist at the U.S. Agriculture Department's [1]
A daily “shot” of HP EVOO has been proven in an increasing number of clinical studies as having beneficial anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect in neurodegenerative, autoimmune, cardiovascular disease and many cancers. Aristoleo+ offers an innovative and convenient way to maintain the beneficial effect throughout the day by microdosing. Aristoleo+ has a phenolic concentration of over 1000 mg/kg making this effective for small consistent amounts of a little as 0.50 ml.
Recent research has shed light on a fascinating approach to maximizing the benefits of micro-dosing. This practice involves consuming small, regular doses of high phenolic extra virgin olive oil with phenolic content over 1000 mg/kg throughout the day, potentially maintaining a steady level of beneficial compounds in the bloodstream.
At the heart of this concept are the phenolic compounds, powerful antioxidants found in olive oil. Among these, oleocanthal has garnered significant attention from the scientific community. Oleocanthal is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory effects, often compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen. [2]
The idea behind microdosing is simple yet intriguing. By consuming small amounts of Aristoleo+ “1000+” High Phenolic EVOO consistently, rather than larger quantities less frequently, we may be able to maintain a more constant presence of phenolic compounds, particularly oleocanthal, in our system. This sustained exposure could potentially amplify the health benefits associated with olive oil consumption, without the additional fats or the resistance to consuming large amounts of oil
Inflammation is implicated in numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, certain cancers, and neurodegenerative conditions. By keeping anti-inflammatory compounds like oleocanthal circulating in the bloodstream, microdosing may offer a natural approach to combating low-grade chronic inflammation.
While microdosing high phenolic olive oil is innovative, the concept aligns with our understanding of how the body metabolizes and utilizes nutrients. Many beneficial compounds have relatively short half-lives in the body, meaning they are quickly processed and eliminated. Studies have shown that oleocanthal has a half-life of about two hours in the bloodstream. Regular, small doses could help overcome this limitation, ensuring a more consistent therapeutic effect.
Implementing an high phenolic olive oil microdosing regimen is relatively straightforward. It might involve consuming as little as 0.50 ml Aristoleo+ “1000+” HP EVOO several times throughout the day. This can be done by taking a small amount sublingually, in coffee, smoothies, cocktails or on food.
However, it's crucial to emphasize the phenolic content and the source of the HP EVOO when it comes to choosing to microdose. To maximize the potential benefits of microdosing, opt for Aristoleo+ which is certified high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil, stored in temperature controlled environment (between 12.5-15° C or 54-59° F to protect phenolic content) and bottled on demand in MIRON VioletGlass bio-photonic bottles for maximum protection of the HP EVOO.[3]
High Phenolic EVOOs are typically more bitter and pungent, characteristics that indicate higher levels of beneficial compounds like oleocanthal.
As with any dietary strategy, it's important to approach Aristoleo+ MicroDosing or PowerShots as part of a balanced, healthy lifestyle. While the potential benefits are exciting, more research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects and optimal dosing strategies.
In conclusion, Aristoleo+ HP EVOO MicroDosing represents an innovative approach to harnessing the health-promoting properties of this ancient food and traditional folk medicine.
By maintaining a steady level of phenolic compounds like oleocanthal in the bloodstream, we may be able to enhance the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits of olive oil consumption.
As research in this area continues to evolve, microdosing could emerge as a simple yet effective strategy for supporting overall health and well-being.
To your health!
