Olive AAH new LG

Olea europaea is an evergreen tree in the olive family (Oleaceae) and is native to the Mediterranean region. Olive oil is high in antioxidants which contribute to reduced risk of heart disease, hypertension, and cancer.

The American Botanical Council (ABC) is passionate about helping people live healthier lives through the responsible use of herbs and medicinal plants. As an independent, nonprofit education organization, ABC is dedicated to providing accurate and reliable information for consumers, healthcare practitioners, researchers, educators, industry and the media.
