Technical Details & Test Data
- Key to Important Health & Formulation Benefits
The primary active component of Hytolive® — hydroxytyrosol — is a polar, phenolic phytochemical found in olive fruit, olive leaf and olive oil as well as by-products of olive processing. Along with tyrosol and their conjugates, it represents the main phenolic compounds in olive oil (50%). Hydroxytyrosol has a simple structure, the highest bioavailability and ORAC of the olive oil components, which gives it potent natural antioxidant activity.
