The sum of minority compounds that are part of the Extra Virgin Olive Oils, has promoted for years the realization of a large number of scientific studies in which it has been identified that the use of this product can bring important health benefits.
Due to the extensive information on healthy properties that exists with regard to Extra Virgin Olive Oils and the need to link these claims to their scientific references, by the prohibition of making direct claims in the labelling of the AOVEs despite so much bibliographic evidence, QvExtra! International, in its objective of dissemination and defense of the culture of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, has carried out a comprehensive review, in which more than 40 international scientific studies have been analyzed identifying important healthy benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in human consumption.
Among the beneficial benefits that AOVE identified in the reviewed scientific studies and which can be found below would be the following:
- Very healthy properties for consumption (6,19,20,39,12)
- Increased welfare status by its content in phenolic compounds (25)
- Pain reduction form increased encephalins (9)
- Protective effect of AOVE on memory disturbances or synaptic integration (29,30)
- Positive effects on the gut microbiota (14)
- Obesity control for its inverse relationship with the content of monounsaturated fatty acids (3, 18, 31)
- Anti-inflammatory potential (2, 4, 24)
- Blood pressure modulation (5)
- AOVE with possible use in hypertension (41)
- Regulation of cardiovascular diseases (7,10,11,16,21,26,33, 35, 36)
- Prevention against type 2 diabetes (8,17,22, 31)
- Relief of some degree of liver severity (13,28)
- Improved pancreatitis (34)
- Improved liver function (1, 23, 38)
- Brain homeostasis safeguard (15)
- Effects on breast cancer or type 2 diabetes mellitus (22,31,33)
- Prevention of neurological disorders, inflammatory complications or cancer (24)
- Regulation of prostate cancer by regulating oncoges from oleic acid (37)
- Antimicrobial and antiviral properties of AOVE (27, 32, 40, 42)
