Hydroxytyrosol is a powerful antioxidant that has been part of the diet of populations from the Mediterranean Basin for millennia. In recent years, the traditional Mediterranean diet has received an increasing amount of attention for its protective effects against heart disease, certain cancers, skin ailments and a good number of today’s stress and aging related health problems. That protective function comes in large part from the antioxidant polyphenols at the basis of this kind of diet.
