After reading about the studies showing that Olive Leaf Extract may increase thyroid hormones and enhance fat loss, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and gotten good results?
waiting for someone to say it's all in the synergy of ingredients that makes oleuropein so much betterI have already been taking oleuropein for a while but just for the immune boosting functions in order to prevent getting a cold. I got 40% oleuropein in powder form, so I can easily dose fairly high. I think it helped me against colds (just broscience) but I haven't noticed any enhanced fat loss.
Beat me to it! -- As found in the new Alphamine
That is why we included it in AlphamineHmm... i wonder how substantial olive leaf would increase t4-->t3 levels if blood was measures before and during.....
Wonder how it compared to guggul, kelp, or 7keto or t2....
If it does show merit for legit metabolic boosting effects -- combining it with the likes of AndroLean v3, ECA (or otc fat burner) would yield a mighty powerful fat loss stack from different pathways...

Sounds really promising. But like I said, I haven't noticed any fat loss. Then again, I have to admit that I am currently not on a fat loss diet as my focus is on putting on more muscle mass while staying lean. Maybe in combination with a good fat loss diet, oleuropein can help with getting rid of body fat.Oleuropein
One of the most underrated ingredients today, oleuropein extracted from olive leaves holds numerous fat loss activating properties. Extracts from olive leaf are some of the most thyrogenic ingredients available at a very small dose. In an animal study, olive leaf extract raised thyroid hormone T3 2.5 times above baseline!
In another unrelated animal study, oleuropein increased noradrenaline and adrenaline secretions, as well as uncoupling protein 1 levels in brown adipose tissue, leading to increased thermogenesis. What a perfect fit for this already thermogenic formula, oleuropein takes it even higher adding new mechanisms and a potent thyrogenic appeal.

I take most of my powders commando (I don't cap them). What does the powder taste like? So long as it isn't ghastly (day, like ALA) I am OK doing it that way.I have already been taking oleuropein for a while but just for the immune boosting functions in order to prevent getting a cold.

I don't cap any of my powders. Oleuropein powder has a very bitter, pungent taste. I swallow it down quickly with some fruit juice.I take most of my powders commando (I don't cap them). What does the powder taste like? So long as it isn't ghastly (day, like ALA) I am OK doing it that way.
Do you know what % your extract is? Standard extracts are 10-20%, but some are as high as 80%Sounds really promising. But like I said, I haven't noticed any fat loss.

Where do you get yours from?

just another curious thing: they are selling melatonin as bulk powder (min. amount 5g). does someone here have ever tried to measure 3 or 5mg of melatonin from bulk powder?? i have a scale that is accurate to 1mg but still think it could be hard to get the exact amount.this shop mysupplements.eu is very hard to find by googling by the way. i was looking quite long for this item:

and finally found it in this shop. Thanks for the link poster!
Any reason why youd want bulk powder? You should be able to find a bottle of 100 5mg capsules for 3-4 bucks at a grocery storejust another curious thing: they are selling melatonin as bulk powder (min. amount 5g). does someone here have ever tried to measure 3 or 5mg of melatonin from bulk powder?? i have a scale that is accurate to 1mg but still think it could be hard to get the exact amount.
And that means? Can you specify "nice" a little bit more?I used olive leaf 20% at about 1800 mg per day (100 or so mg active). That's where it got nice for me
Leaning out. Nutrient partioning increased tempAnd that means? Can you specify "nice" a little bit more?
Sorry it's 360 active.And that means? Can you specify "nice" a little bit more?
Definitely1 gram of the 40% one (400 mg of the active) plus 50 to 100 mg of 95% forskolin (purecamp-95) seems a nice combo to look at
Coop. U make me not wanna have tatts to show dem cuts!Actually, you can get physiologically relevant quantities of oleuropin through Argan Oil consumption
