Why we're turning to this ancient secret to keep the winter ills & chills at bay
Winter has arrived, and as the days grow cooler we instinctively seek our go-to remedies to ward off seasonal colds. But this year, it might be time to consider an age-old hero in the wellness world: olive leaf extract. Traditionally seen as a winter wellness secret, this powerful natural extract is now—finally—recognised for its year-round benefits. And with brands like Comvita perfecting its extraction method (making it one of the purest formulations in the market), it’s becoming more accessible than ever.

The olive tree has been revered for its health benefits since ancient times and has more to offer than just olive oil. Olive leaf extract, particularly rich in polyphenols like oleuropein, is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, meaning it supports the immune system, boosts cardiovascular health, and even helps manage cholesterol. The science behind it is sound, making olive leaf extract an essential addition to your wellness routine—especially if you're looking for more than just seasonal support.
While the idea of olive leaf extract isn’t new, Comvita has spent decades redefining what we expect from this ancient remedy. Known for its high-quality Manuka honey, the brand has applied its signature commitment to both heritage and innovation to this powerhouse that delivers year after year. Their extract is sourced from scientifically selected olive trees, carefully cultivated for the highest concentrations of oleuropein. These trees thrive under optimal conditions—managed with sustainable practices that ensure the leaves are as potent as possible when they reach the extraction facility. Once harvested, the leaves are processed on-site within minutes, preserving their full-spectrum health benefits. Every batch is traceable to the farm where it was grown, ensuring quality and consistency in every bottle. Comvita’s attention to detail means that what you’re consuming isn’t just effective; it’s also ethically sourced and environmentally responsible. And although olive leaf extract has long been associated with immune support, as we mentioned earlier, it offers so much more. Regular use can help reduce mild fever and cough, support cardiovascular health, manage cholesterol levels, and even act as an anti-inflammatory. It’s the perfect natural addition to your daily routine, whether you're gearing up for the cold season or looking to maintain your health throughout the year.
Comvita’s liquid olive leaf extract is available in two flavours: peppermint, which is invigorating and bold (and surprisingly tasty), and mixed berry, which offers a more universally palatable balance of sweetness and tartness. The versatility of these flavours makes them easy to incorporate into your lifestyle, whether you prefer sipping it straight or blending it into your favourite morning drink.
So here’s the bottom line: with olive leaf extract, immune system support doesn’t have to be a winter-only affair. As we collectively veer towards more natural remedies, products like Comvita’s olive leaf extract are becoming staples in myriad households. Its proven effectiveness, combined with Comvita’s commitment to sustainability and quality, makes it a go-to for anyone looking to support their immune system health* and overall wellbeing, and clearly, an essential to have on hand for the months ahead.
