Oligen® A Smarter Evolution in Olive Polyphenol Extracts

Advanced Olive Polyphenols for Healthy Aging & Joint Support

Oligen® is an enhanced olive extract inspired by the science of the Mediterranean diet and designed for today’s most innovative supplement brands. Standardized to two of the olive’s most bioactive compounds, oleocanthal and oleacein, Oligen® delivers the polyphenol equivalent of ¼ cup of premium olive oil in a single 400mg dose — without the calories, taste, or formulation limitations.

Unlike typical olive extracts that rely solely on the leaf, Oligen® captures the full synergy of the plant, maximizing its most beneficial compounds. The result is a clean-label, highly effective ingredient that supports joint health, inflammation management, and cell protection all in a fast-acting, easy-to-formulate powder ideal for capsule, softgel, or even functional food applications.

Key Benefits

Joint Health
For fast-acting, natural inflammatory support. Oligen® works by targeting two key pathways involved in joint inflammation — COX-2 inhibition and reduction of interferon gamma (IFN-γ).

Longevity & Cellular Resilience
Ideal for brands targeting the growing Healthy Aging category. Oligen® stimulates cellular renewal and mitochondrial repair, helping the body maintain vitality and performance over time.

Heart Health
A major contributor to cardiovascular aging is oxidative stress. Oligen® has an enhanced antioxidant effect thanks to two key polyphenols that help combat lipid oxidative stress.

Fast Onset & High Bioavailability
Consumers want quick results. The active compounds in Oligen® are highly bioavailable, meaning they readily absorb for a fast onset in inflammation support without the need for costly ingredient enhancers.

Unlike standard olive leaf extracts that rely solely on oleuropein, or curcumin extracts, which have poor absorption, Oligen® offers a superior solution:

• Dual-Action Potency: The two polyphenolic compounds in Oligen, oleocanthal and oleacein, may sound similar to the more commonplace oleuropein found in olive leaf extracts, but they have very different roles in the body. Only Oligen® offers specific benefits for a healthy inflammatory response.
• Superior Bioavailability: The polyphenolic compounds in Oligen work similarly to those found in curcumin in that they target COX inhibition for inflammation support. However, unlike curcumin, Oligen’s polyphenols are easily absorbed in the body and have a rapid onset of effects without the need for piperine or complex delivery systems.
• Proprietary, Clean-Label Extraction: Gentle and effective process enhances polyphenol content and supports clean-label formulations.

Ideal Applications

Dietary Supplements – Ideal for capsules, tablets, and softgels targeting joint health, active aging, and longevity. Oligen’s excellent density enables single-cap efficacy, allowing a full serving in a standard-size capsule.

Functional Foods & Powders – A powerful addition to powder blends, protein mixes, and functional food formulations like nutrition bars where it can be easily integrated into a solid matrix.

Science-Backed Efficacy

Oligen’s efficacy is rooted in the activity of its two primary polyphenols, oleocanthal and oleacein. These compounds have been shown to be effective COX-2 inhibitors, a key mechanism for supporting the body’s natural and balanced inflammatory response pathways. This targeted, science-backed approach makes Oligen® a reliable and effective ingredient for modern formulations that target joint health in active aging.
