Health Properties Of ólixir®: High Potency Nutrition Made In Collaboration With Nature. Our olives are organically grown and harvested early, when they are green. We cold press them within 12 hours through a low-oxygen impact system. We then filter the oil through cellulose panels to remove 100% residues. The end result is ólixir®, our high potency organic extra virgin olive oil. Rich in aromas, taste and above all health boosting nutrients. The key nutritional values and related health properties are:
- The high concentration of Polyphenol-antioxidants in ólixir® protect blood lipids against oxidation. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily dose of 20g of olive oil (two tablespoons).
- It protects cells against oxidative stress because of its high content of Vitamin E.
- It contributes to reducing cholesterol as it has a high level of healthy monounsaturated fat (Oleic Acid)*
- It has very low acidity which means high quality nutrition. *Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated (including monounsaturated) fats in the diet has been shown to lower blood cholesterol.
