easy to take

I have been taking Olive Leaf from Spring Valley at Walmart for $9 for 1 year now, and it does help alot. I have not been sick in this entire year, my immune cells in blood work have increased and it does what it is suppose to. When I first started taking the Walmart version which is 150 MG of Olive Lead and 20% of the chemical in it, it worked great, cleared out toxins etc.This brand is 500 mg, so stronger olive leaf dose, but its only 6% of the chemical so it is of lesser quality, but still, it works, and it is cheaper in the long run. The Spring Valley is $9 for only 60 caps I think, and this is 120 caps, so more product for less money, which is always good. I can understand some reviews don't like the 6% standard formula, instead of 20%, but oh well, 6% is better than none, and in the long run saves money, instead of buyign every two weeks more at Walmart.

Great alternative

I won’t take a statin for high cholesterol, so believe or not my Doctor suggested this as an alternative. Have just started this but no stomach problems, will have a test in two months to see if it has lower the cholesterol and how my blood pressure is. The price on this was excellent
