It’s not. Oleocanthal especially is anti-aromatase and tyrosol and oleuropein are pro-thyroid, androgenic and have been shown to have numerous other benefits
I feel extremely good using OLE. It subjectively feels very androgenic.

what about it's ability to increase NO? I thought I read it somewhere....
Lokzo, are you still using OLE? What brand and dosages?I just started using it, and it definitely makes me feel warmer. My entire metabolism has increased. Kinda need to becareful I don't run into HYPERthyroid state. So I will have small amounts of L-Carnitine on standby.
I can somewhat notice the DOPAMINE boosting effect (MAO-Bi), which is why I started using it. Feels quite mentally uplifting and stimulating to a degree.

Which brand do you use @Lokzo?I use it on and off with other herbs. It's definitely pro-thyroid, reduces fat mass, improves libido, dopaminergic and Orexin-activating.
Just make sure you get a fresh leaf extract, not "Dried leaf". Make sure it's also standardised to a certain % of Oleuropein.
I was told in another topic that olive leaf is estrogenic, sadly.

what foods is oleocanthal found in high amounts. regular green, italian olives? or greek olives. which are better
ahahahah Lucas my bro! I never tried Olive leaf extract...I'm not a huge fan of olive oil too because doesn't feels androgenic at all to meWhen I was using it, I was using Comvita brand. It was really nice, I actually miss it! It always made me so warmmm, and also felt great 2 hours before the gym.
Oleocanthal is another cool compound. I'm actually not sure.
Maybe @Antonello will know!? (I bet he will say Italian olives, since he's an italian fk boy haha).

The metabolic and vascular protective effects of Olive (Olea europaea L.) leaf extract in diet-induced obesity in mice are related to the amelioration of gut microbiota dysbiosis and to its immunomodulatory properties.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
Many studies have showed the beneficial effects of the olive (Olea europaea) leaf extract (OLE) in experimental models of metabolic syndrome, which have been ascribed to the presence of phenolic compounds, like oleuropeoside. This study evaluated the effects of a chemically characterized OLE in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice, describing the underlying mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects, with special attention to vascular dysfunction and gut microbiota composition.
METHODS:
C57BL/6 J mice were distributed in different groups: control, control-treated, obese and obese-treated with OLE (1, 10 and 25 mg/kg/day). Control mice received a standard diet, whereas obese mice were fed HFD. The treatment was followed for 5 weeks, and animal body weight periodically assessed. At the end of the treatment, metabolic plasma analysis (including lipid profile) as well as glucose and insulin levels were performed. The HFD-induced inflammatory status was studied in liver and fat, by determining the RNA expression of different inflammatory mediators by qPCR; also, different markers of intestinal epithelial barrier function were determined in colonic tissue by qPCR. Additionally, flow cytometry of immune cells from adipose tissue, endothelial dysfunction in aortic rings as well as gut microbiota composition were evaluated. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to antibiotic-treated mice fed with HFD was performed.
RESULTS:
OLE administration reduced body weight gain, basal glycaemia and insulin resistance, and showed improvement in plasma lipid profile when compared with HFD-fed mice. The extract significantly ameliorated the HFD-induced altered expression of key adipogenic genes, like PPARs, adiponectin and leptin receptor, in adipose tissue. Furthermore, the extract reduced the RNA expression of Tnf-α, Il-1β, Il-6 in liver and adipose tissue, thus improving the tissue inflammatory status associated to obesity. The flow cytometry analysis in adipose tissue corroborated these observations. Additionally, the characterization of the colonic microbiota by sequencing showed that OLE administration was able to counteract the dysbiosis associated to obesity. The extract reversed the endothelial dysfunction observed in the aortic rings of obese mice. FMT from donors HFD-OLE to recipient mice fed an HFD prevented the development of obesity, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction.
CONCLUSION:
OLE exerts beneficial effects in HFD-induced obesity in mice, which was associated to an improvement in plasma and tissue metabolic profile, inflammatory status, gut microbiota composition and vascular dysfunction.
