The olive leaf has been used as a health remedy for many centuries, dating back to the Ancient Egyptians. In more recent years, there is a growing body of scientific evidence evolving to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of the olive leaf for a variety of diseases and conditions.
Olive leaf has been incorporated in the diet as an extract, tea and powder (in consumable products and cosmetic preparations). The leaf contains a wide variety of bioactive compounds that are beneficial for health and wellness. The olive leaf contains a wide phenolic profile, of which the major elements are shown below:
The two most prominent biophenols found in olive leaf extract are oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol. Medicinally oleuropein acts as
• Antioxidant
• Antibacterial
• Antimicrobial
• Anti-inflammatory
• Immune stimulant
The olive leaf extract contains a wide variety of compounds which work synergistically to deliver a multitude of therapeutic actions. Ongoing medical research shows its effectiveness in treating:
• Allergies
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Candidiasis (yeast infection)
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Common cold
• Diarrhea

Dried mulberries are known to be an excellent source of anthocyanins, a group of antioxidants known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They have also been used to improve blood circulation. Dried mulberries contain another compound called resveratrol, the same potent antioxidant that is used for anti-aging effects. Studies indicate that resveratrol may lower blood pressure and reduce the risk for heart Disease.
Dried mulberries are an ideal source of both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps control blood sugar and reduce harmful cholesterol levels, while insoluble fibre is essential for a healthy digestive system.
With 190% of the daily recommended value for vitamin C per serving, dried mulberries contain even more of this immunity-boosting vitamin per ounce than oranges. Vitamin C is important for supporting the immune system, repairing tissue, and protecting vision. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant that may lower the risk for heart disease by fighting oxidative damage.
Dried mulberries are a high source of protein. They contain 4 grams of protein per average serving, which makes them suitable for eating after exercise. Dried mulberries also contain 30% of the daily value for iron, and 10% of the daily value for calcium. Iron fights fatigue and keeps you feeling energised as it works to carry oxygen-rich blood cells throughout the body. Calcium is the foundation for strong bones and teeth, and an adequate intake of calcium can help prevent the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Our dried mulberries are sourced from Türkiye, where most of the white mulberries are cultivated today. White mulberry trees are shaken during harvest time to encourage fresh mulberries to fall from their branches. Dried mulberries may be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 year. They should be kept in a sealed bag or container, away from heat and direct sunlight.

Raisin can actually improve oral health. Research published in the Phytochemistry Letters revealed that raisins can benefit oral health because the fruit possesses antimicrobial phytochemicals that suppress the growth oral bacteria associated with dental cavities and gum disease.
Oleanolic acid in raisins inhibits the growth of two species of oral bacteria: Streptococcus mutans, which causes cavities, and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which causes periodontal disease — aka gum disease.
As a high-fibre food, raisins are an excellent digestive aid to reduce constipation or diarrhoea . Dried fruits might have more calories than fresh, but they also have a higher amount of fibre.

By adding raisins to your snacks and meals, you instantly increase the fibre content of your food quickly and easily.
Data from the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session in 2012 suggests that individuals with mild increases in blood pressure can benefit from the routine consumption of raisins (three times a day).

In addition, raisins nutrition is rich in the heart-healthy electrolyte potassium which is a key mineral for the proper function of all cells, tissues and organs in the human body. People who get a lot of potassium in their diets have a lower risk of stroke, especially ischemic stroke.

Prunes may help slow the ageing process, they do this thanks to their exceptionally high antioxidant levels, which is thought to be as much as twice that of other fruit and vegetables. Studies have shown that feeding diets rich in these antioxidants appears to have a beneficial effect on alleviating levels of anxiety which in turn may reduce oxidative stress in the brain and delay its adverse effects on cognitive function.
