Olive Leaf Extract Shows Skin and Tissue Benefits in Postmenopausal Women

A 12-week randomized controlled trial of 65 postmenopausal women found that olive leaf extract supplementation reduced skin pore number and surface skewness, suggesting localized benefits for skin structure and extracellular matrix preservation. Although systemic markers of tissue aging were not significantly altered after correction for multiple testing, trends suggest potential modulation of pathways involved in collagen and cardiovascular health.
