As early as the 19th century Olive leaf was recognized for its anti viral and antimivrobial properties. Before penicillin and other anti-biotics, it was a major treatment for maliaria. But modern researchers have been studying the properties of Oleuropein contained in the leaves of the Olive tree. Oleuropein has many pharmacological properties. It has been shown to be an: - antioxidant
- anti-inflammatory
- anti-atherogenic
- anti-cancer
- antimicrobial
- antiviral
- skin protector
- anti-aging
- brain protectant (re: Alzheimer’s disease and other age related cognitive problems)

The plant is useful both because it stimulates osteoblasts, the cells involved in bone growth and because it inhibits the formation of osteoclasts, the cells involved in bone removal. These studies are grundbreaking and may lead to additional studies in the near future.- Olive leaf stimulates bone growth. study documenting the usefulness of Olive leaf in the stimulation of bone growth was done at the University of Cordoba in Spain found that "oleuropein provoked an increase in the diffentiation of osteoblasts, cells responsible for bone formation".

- In addition there has been research showing Olive leaf as preventing bone loss In April 2011 Japanese scientists Keitaro Hagiwaraa, Tadashi Gotob, Masahiro Arakic, Hitoshi Miyazakic, Hiromi Hagiwara published a paper, "Olive polyphenol hydroxytyrosol prevents bone loss" in the European Journal of Pharmacology>/i> stating:
"Polyphenols reportedly exert physiological effects against diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and osteoporosis. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol, the major polyphenols in olives, on bone formation using cultured osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and on bone loss in ovariectomized mice. No polyphenols markedly affected the proliferation of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells at concentrations up to 10 μM. Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol at 10 to 100 μM had no effect on the production of type I collagen and the activity of alkaline phosphatase in MC3T3-E1 cells, but stimulated the deposition of calcium in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, oleuropein at 10 to 100 μM and hydroxytyrosol at 50 to 100 μM inhibited the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, both compounds suppressed the bone loss of trabecular bone in femurs of ovariectomized mice (6-week-old BALB/c female mice), while hydroxytyrosol attenuated H2O2 levels in MC3T3-E1 cells. Our findings indicate that the olive polyphenols oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol may have critical effects on the formation and maintenance of bone, and can be used as effective remedies in the treatment of osteoporosis symptoms."
