Laboratory figures
- Total polyphenols: 1,382 mg/kg
- Oleocanthal: 1,279 mg/kg
At 1,382 mg/kg, a 20 g serving provides about 28 mg of polyphenols, more than five times the 5 mg daily amount used in the EU olive oil polyphenol health claim.
Polyphenols and health
Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein complex and tyrosol) in olive oil. Strakka states that its oils meet the requirements of this claim under Commission Regulation (EU) 432/2012.
