On a mission to support overall health and wellness.
We believe in a healthy diet and that food is the medicine. Our goal is to help people become the best version of themselves, and we believe that O-liv can be part of a good diet and exercise program.
One of the challenges we found is a lot of people don’t like to take olive oil raw. Some people find that high phenolic olive oil taste like grass and are not able to take 1.5 tbsps of high phenolic olive oil. Some of my patients said "doc if you can make a pill, I’ll take it, but I can’t take 2 tablespoons of high phenolic olive oil. I just can’t do it. In fact, one of my nurses , said the same thing. This is how the idea of O-liv began. Our goal was to bring high phenolic olive oil in a tablet to the consumer .

Where It Started
Nov 2022 - Mediterranean Diet Conference
In November 2022, we attended a conference focused on the benefits of the Mediterranean diet. The idea for O-liv sparked at this event as we noticed a lack of options for quality supplements in the market.
Partnering with Greek Manufacturers and Importing into the USA
We decided to partner with Greek manufacturers who were already well-versed in producing high-quality products using olive oil, a key ingredient in the Mediterranean diet. We also saw an opportunity to introduce these products to consumers in the USA by importing them directly from Greece.
Sampling and Slow Launch of O-liv
Before launching O-liv officially, we wanted to ensure that our products met the high standards and quality that we promised. We sampled our products to a select group of consumers who were familiar with the Mediterranean diet and received positive feedback.

Olive Oil Is Medicine
I started taking O-Liv last fall when my physician wanted me to start taking a statin for cholesterol. Along with some dietary changes, O-Liv helped me lower my cholesterol by 78 points and lowered my triglycerides by over 60% in just four months. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t done it myself!
