According to EU Regulation 432/2012, consuming 20 grams (about 1.5 tablespoons) of high phenolic olive oil per day can help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. This fact underpins the importance of determining how much polyphenol rich olive oil per day is necessary for specific health goals.

According to Gundry MD, their Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil is not made in the Mediterranean heartlands most people associate with olive oil, but is sourced from the rugged, arid desert groves of Morocco. This specific origin is key to its high concentration of beneficial compounds, distinguishing it from many conventional olive oils.

According to the European Food Safety Authority, olive oil must contain at least 250 mg/kg of polyphenols to carry a health claim, but this minimum threshold doesn't tell the full story about medical-grade olive oil. The truth is, while a high polyphenol count is a prerequisite, it doesn't automatically mean an olive oil is medical-grade. A product designated as 'medical grade' must meet much stricter criteria beyond just its polyphenol content, including specialized processing, batch testing, and specific bioactive compound concentrations.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), olive oil containing at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol per 20 g can boast health claims related to oxidative stress protection, a key benefit found in Gundry polyphenol rich olive oil. This premium oil is formulated to deliver a higher concentration of these powerful antioxidants than many conventional versions.
