Olive Leaf with or without food?

by Danielle

Question:

I would like to know do you take Olive Leaf tincture, or pills. Do you take it on an empty stomach or with food?

Answer:

You can take either, but depending on what you are taking it for, each form has advantages over the other. The "Olive Leaves" tab on the site will guide you to more information.
The tincture and combination capsules can be taken on an empty stomach which is believed to be more effective as certain amino acids reduce the virucidal effect of olive leaf extract.
High strength capsules can be harsh on the stomach and are best taken with food.
