Olive Leaf Extract

[Tuesday's Child]

My osteo recommended it to me when I had glandular fever. I actually don't mind the taste. Would take olive leaf extract over echinacea any day.

I put hem both in the same taste category blah!

I use it when there are colds in the house or if I'm feeling like I'm a bit low immunity wise, you know run down. My chiro recommended it to me. A resident at work had it recommended to her by her GP, she swears by it.

It can possibly have an effect on your milk supply when BF. Not a complete dry up but a drop. I've never had a problem personally and a friend of mine has used it longer than me and is up to child #6 and has never had supply issues with it either.

Capsules would be great to avoid the taste!!! But check out what's in them. Anything in a liquid form is more easily absorbed, and efficiently used by your body than tablet or capsules. I'll have to check them out my self

I forgot to mention I was bfing when I first taking it and didn't notice any effect on my supply. I could do with some now as I'm coming down with a cold, but there's conflicting advice about use in pregnancy so I won't take it just to be safe.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll get some and see if it helps!

my mum uses the tablets and swears that they have improved her general health dramatically - she does not feel she is coming down with colds as often or thus her asthma is not aggravated as regularly.
