Today, it is included in numerous cosmetic products for facial and body skin care. An interesting fact is that in Italy, where olive oil is an integral part of the diet, gastrointestinal diseases are extremely rare.

NSP Club Nutritionist Tips:

The supplement is actively used to fight herpes, but during the disease, when the immune system is weakened, it is recommended to combine it with a vitamin and mineral complex, such as Vitamins & Minerals - Super Complex. This enhances the effect and helps to balance the immune system. The use of olive extract without the addition of vitamins when immunity is reduced can lead to increased activity of the herpes virus, so it is important to use it in combination with a vitamin complex.
