My OLIVENOL Story – Lim Ai Lian
In conjunction with our 2nd Anniversary Celebration, we are inviting consumers to write in and share their stories on FACEBOOK. We will pick 20 winners out of the most popular stories. We receive this story from Lim Ai Lian:
Lim Ai Lian
In July 2008, I developed multiple joint pains in my shoulders, fingers, elbows and knees. The dr. I saw in a public hospital sent me for some blood tests and based on one reading, said I could be having Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). He referred me to a rheumatologist in the same hospital. In the meantime, I went to a pharmacy to buy something and found a brochure on Olivenol in the plastic bag that contained my purchase. I was very excited to read about the efficacy of Olivenol in managing RA and wasted no time in buying a pack of capsules. Impatient to see results, I took 3 capsules a day instead of the 2 recommended on the box. After two weeks, I was delighted to find that my joint pains had decreased, except in my knees. When the rheumatologist eventually saw me, he concluded that what I had was Osteoarthritis (OA) and not RA. I told him about Olivenol and he asked me to take more of it!
I’ve been on Olivenol since July 2008 and have been recommending it to anyone who has joint pains. My sister who has OA in her fingers, has found pain relief from taking only 1 capsule a day. She in turn recommended Olivenol to a friend who has RA, and her friend is very grateful to her because she too has found pain relief. Having read that Olivenol is also good for “neuro-degenerative diseases”, I recommended it to another sister whose memory is failing. Her memory seems to have improved after taking 2 mils of the liquid daily for many months.
I take 2 capsules a day on most days, but I find that my pain relief is now not as good as when I first started. I wonder if I’m becoming immune to Olivenol or my OA has worsened. Anyway, my two sisters and I will continue to take Olivenol until and unless the price becomes unaffordable (hint, hint!) or a better supplement emerges.
Happy Anniversary OLIVENOL!

Hey Sisters, Watch Out for Arthritis!
Did you know that 3 out of 5 arthritis patients are women? Statistics show that arthritis strikes women more often than man, and several of the more common forms are more prevalent in women.
Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. It is characterized by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage in joints, and it is often caused by “wear and tear”. Women usually develop it after the age of 45.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is another common form of arthritis which usually strikes women between the ages of 25 to 50. It is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints and other organs.
Patients with arthritis usually suffer from pain, stiffness and swelling at joints, which causes limitations in daily living activities and overall diminution in quality of life. As the condition becomes more severe, symptoms may include a total loss of function in the affected joints.
Wearing high heels exerts extreme pressure on foot joints making it unbearably painful for arthritis sufferers

Could Hydroxytyrosol the Olive Polyphenol Reduce the Effects of Lupus?
Lupus erythematosus is a connective tissue disease. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Lupus occurs more frequently in women than men, though the reasons for this are unknown.
Lupus is categorised as an autoimmune disorder. Its symptoms, like in other autoimmune diseases, tend to flare up and recede.
Four types of lupus exist — systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, drug-induced lupus erythematosus and neonatal lupus. Of these, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common and serious form of lupus. With treatment, most people with lupus can lead active lives.
Lupus affects major organs of the human body.
Direct data linking hydroxytyrosol (HT) and lupus is still insufficient to allow definitive conclusions. However, based on the what is available in hand and clinical proven results from other related disease eg: RA, and psoriasis, we see strong potential benefits.
Lupus therapy has two goals:
- The first objective is to *reduce_the_symptoms* during the flares.
- Secondly, treatment is aimed at *extending_the_periods_of_remission* as long as possible.
1) REDUCE SYMPTOMS
- OLIVENOL’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce pain in affected arthritic joints and reduce plaques and lesions on skin of psoriasis sufferer.
- There is also anti-UV protection that is required since UV light can aggravate the lupus skin rash.
2) EXTEND REMISSION
The underlying cause of lupus is a antibody production leading to immune complex (IC) formation. However, the origin and trigger of this excessive production of antibody is an immune system that is “out of sync”. Recent studies have shown that immune system that sends out spurious messages can be re-modulated by dietary antioxidant.
Maintaining adequate antioxidant status may provide a useful approach in reducing cell injury and dysfunction observed in some autoimmune disorders. [De la Fuente M: Effects of antioxidants on immune system ageing. Eur J Clin Nutr 2002, 56(Suppl 3):5-8.]
Olive polyphenol HT, the active ingredient in OLIVENOL livin’ is the most potent natural anti-oxidant known to man. We believe it is HT’s effective remodulation of the immune system that give rise to the efficacy of the product.
SLE sufferers with symptoms similar to arthritis and psoriasis is likely to benefit from the same mechanism.

Fight Inflammation with OLIVENOL livin’ – Chiou Ying’s Story
Here’s an exciting experience with OLIVENOL livin’ shared by Chiou Ying on our Facebook page:
This is one of the thousands successful stories of OLIVENOL livin’ in reducing inflammation. Studies have proven the amazing anti-inflammatory effect of hydroxytyrosol, the active ingredient in OLIVENOL livin’.
Hydroxytyrosol reduces inflammation by inhibiting the expression of a series of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as iNOS, NKT, TNF-a, etc. Besides, in a randomized controlled trial, hydroxytyrosol relieved pain, reduced inflammation and improved physical function in OA and RA patients within the first 8 weeks.
Besides reducing inflammation in arthritis and dermatitis, Chiou Ying’s experience indicated efficacy of OLIVENOL livin’ in reducing other types of inflammation. We are looking forward to see more people benefiting from OLIVENOL livin’ in other therapeutic areas.
Olive Polyphenol Antioxidants
As science progresses, experimental data to support the role of antioxidants in maintaining health becomes even more compelling. It is now clear that the functional integrity of numerous tissue and body systems in humans and animals depend upon scavenging and eliminating excess free radicals. A large body of published scientific research confirms the tremendous antioxidant activity of olive polyphenols, especially Hydroxytyrosol (HT). In the context of a healthy diet and lifestyle, the potential benefits of olive polyphenols include:
Joint Health and Mobility
Numerous types of evidence, including epidemiological studies and clinical trials, demonstrate the importance of a healthy diet for maintenance of joint health. In particular, the Mediterranean diet is associated with maintenance of joint mobility, and the sustained vitality associated with ease of motion. Olive oil is one of several dietary factors associated with joint health. Controlled clinical trials gave demonstrated that olive oil can significantly contribute to joint mobility and quality of life. Animal studies strongly suggest that the polyphenols in olive oil, not the oil itself, are the essential components responsible for joint health.
Cardiovascular Health
The Mediterranean diet is associated with heart health. Laboratory studies suggest that some of the benefits of this diet on the structure and function of the cardiovascular system are due to polyphenol antioxidants, including Hydroxytyrosol. One such study looked at the need to minimize oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol to maintain healthy heart function. In the laboratory study Hydroxytyrosol was found to have a positive effect, indicating a potential cardiovascular protective benefit.
Skin Health
Skin needs antioxidants to remain healthy, especially during sun exposure. Compared to traditional antioxidants used by the cosmetic industry, such as tocopherols from vitamin E, olive polyphenols have much higher antioxidant activity. In one controlled animal study, OLIVENOL was demonstrated to maintain skin health in a normal healthy state, even after exposure to UV radiation.
Colon and Breast Wellness
Antioxidants can help to maintain proper cell cycling that is essential for health. In once recent controlled study, olive polyphenol Hydroxytyrosol was shown to have a potent effect on healthy cell cycling in colon and breast tissue.
Anti-Microbial
In one laboratory study, olive polyphenols inhibited or delayed the growth rate of bacteria such as salmonella and staphylococcus, as well as viruses such as influenza, indicating a potential application for maintaining food freshness.
Treating Psoriasis on Your Scalp
If you suffer from psoriasis, I’m sure you would completely agree with me when I say that psoriasis stinks! The red dry skin, itching, and flaking are not pleasant to deal with on a daily basis, especially if the psoriasis is in a visible part of your body like your scalp. Luckily, there are a few types of scalp psoriasis treatment available. There are also a few types of all natural scalp psoriasis treatment available. On this page, we will discuss some alternatives so you can choose a good scalp psoriasis treatment. First, though, it is important that you know exactly what psoriasis is and what causes it.
So what is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an unceasing skin condition in which patches of skin anywhere on your body become red, flaky, scaly, and itchy. Between 1% and 3% of people in the world suffer from psoriasis. The most common type of psoriasis is called chronic plaque psoriasis.
The normal skin cell life cycle is about 30 days, whereas in a person who has a psoriasis, the skin cell life cycle is only 3 to 6 days! This is because the T-cells (a type of white blood cell, integral part of the immune system) attack the skin cells, causing them to develop at a much faster rate. This excess skin has nowhere to go but to the surface, resulting in the scaly rash-like appearance on the skin.
So what is a good scalp psoriasis treatment?
Gels, lotions, and other solutions are good to use a scalp psoriasis treatment, since they are easier to apply to affected areas than ointments and creams. Ointments and creams tend to leave an oily appearance to and are harder to wash out of the hair too, so try to stay away from them.
Doctors will often prescribe a steroid based gel as a scalp psoriasis treatment. These work well; however, the effect of steroids on the skin tends to wear off through excessive use, so you should stay away from steroids as well.
Doctors may also prescribe some sort of pills or injections as a scalp psoriasis treatment, but if you have ever tried these, you would know that they are not cheap, they do not work 100% of the time, and they often have negative side-effects. But give them a try, as they may work for you.
Treating your scalp psoriasis with hydroxytyrosol – an olive polyphenol.
Recent discovery suggested that there is another way to treat scalp psoriasis. It does not involve the use of any gel, ointment or cream on the scalp. Instead, it address the problem from your internal system. By sticking to a regular supplementation of hydroxytyrosol – a natural polyphenol from olive – dramatic improvements can be seen. See picture below:
Results after 5 weeks.
By reading this article, you should now have a good understanding of what scalp psoriasis is and how you can treat it with conventional therapy. You are also introduced to the effective results a new alternative treatment with hydroxytyrosol found in OLIVENOL livin’.
