Discover Thousand Olives Oleocanthal
THOUSAND OLIVES — GREEK TO THE CORE
A remarkable discovery in a Mount Athos monastery archive has yielded a breakthrough in food supplements. After two decades of studying polyphenols, researchers from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens' School of Pharmacy found ancient manuscripts detailing the therapeutic powers of early harvest olive oil. This revelation led to the creation of an innovative, eco-friendly process for isolating and concentrating oleocanthal in capsule form.
THE MANUSCRIPTS OF DIOSCOURIDES, “FATHER OF PHARMACOLOGY”
At the Holy Monastery of Aghia Lavra on Mount Athos, Athens University researchers discovered a remarkable collection of writings by Dioscorides (ca. AD 40-80), the most influential pharmacologist of the ancient world. His De Materia Medica, which detailed roughly 700 plants and 1,000 drugs according to their medicinal uses and physiological effects, remained a standard medical reference for over 1500 years.
RESULTS OF A 20-YEAR-LONG STUDY
After two decades of research, the University of Athens team developed a novel method of selective extraction of oleaocanthal and other polyphenols from early harvest extra virgin olive oil. THOUSAND OLIVES, a 100% natural supplement, delivers the full benefits of the Mediterranean diet in a single capsule, supporting improved health, increased energy, and sustained well-being.
THOUSAND OLIVES - A SHARED VISION
Driven by the University of Athens team’s discoveries and his own grandfather - who lived to 105 on a diet rich in early harvest olive oil - Cretan entrepreneur Emmanuel Vasarmides recognized oleocanthal's therapeutic value. Driven by their shared vision, Mr. Vasarmides and the research team partnered to make the health advantages of early harvest olive oil, particularly oleocanthal, widely accessible.
