OLIMINA3® is not a synthetic product and its ingredients are found in the normal diet. In 45 people who participated in a small study of OLIMINA3®, the most common side effects were abdominal pain (2.2%), constipation (11.1%) and headache (6.7%). Some people noticed a fishy taste: we recommend taking OLIMINA3® before breakfast or with any other meal of the day to reduce this effect. Although all the ingredients in OLIMINA3® are natural and safe, it is important to consult your doctor in the following situations: you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, undergoing surgery, bleeding, undergoing treatment that affects blood clotting, receiving chemotherapy or active cancer treatment.

Does OLIMINA3® prevent, treat or cure breast cancer?
No, OLIMINA3® does not prevent, treat or cure breast cancer. Clinical evidence, although limited, indicates that OLIMINA3® can reduce elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in women who have survived breast cancer. In addition, this same clinical trial indicates that OLIMINA3® can reduce joint pain associated with aromatase inhibitor therapy, which is often prescribed as part of the long-term prevention of breast cancer recurrence*. Having a healthy heart is also very important, because heart disease is often an elevated risk for women who have survived breast cancer. OLIMINA3® provides two key elements of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet: Omega-3 and olive polyphenols.

How is HYTOLIVE® olive extract different from the olive leaf extracts available on the market?
Olive oil stands out among the components of the Mediterranean diet, considered especially for its healthy character. Hydroxytyrosol, an antioxidant found in olives and virgin and extra virgin olive oil, has been shown to have health benefits. Olive leaf extracts usually contain different concentrations of oleuropein. Oleuropein is formed from elenolic acid + glycoside + hydroxytyrosol. Although oleuropein is believed to be partially transformed into hydroxytyrosol after consumption, this transformation is not complete. The hydroxytyrosol in OLIMINA3® comes directly from the source: the olive. In addition, the hydroxytyrosol in OLIMINA3® is extracted from olives through a clean, patented process in which no solvents are used.
What are the benefits of the Mediterranean diet? What are the benefits of taking olive extracts containing hydroxytyrosol?
The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet are confirmed by many studies, such as the well-known Seven Countries Study and PREDIMED (a randomized, multicenter trial with 7447 participants and a follow-up of almost 5 years). Many experts believe that the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet have to do with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of polyphenols derived from olives, such as hydroxytyrosol, and the Omega-3 content of oily fish. Both ingredients of Olimina3.
Where does the gelatin used in OLIMINA3® capsules come from?
The bovine gelatin used to manufacture this product is processed according to a method that meets or exceeds the requirements established by the European Commission in October 1999. Scientific studies by the Baltimore Research and Education Foundation (USA) have shown that gelatin processed in this way is safe and does not transmit bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
How long will it take to start noticing the benefits of OLIMINA3®?
