Description

Oleocanthal is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in extra virgin olive oil, known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its unique biological activity, which mimics that of ibuprofen, makes it a highly valuable ingredient for advanced nutraceutical and pharmaceutical research. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D teams in the dietary supplement, functional food, and cosmeceutical industries seeking to develop innovative health and wellness products.

Application

• Nutraceutical Formulations: A key bioactive ingredient in dietary supplements targeting inflammation, joint health, and neuroprotection.
• Functional Food & Beverage: Enrichment of health-focused food products like oils, dressings, and fortified beverages.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a lead compound in drug discovery programs for anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive agents.
• Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into anti-aging and skin care formulations for its antioxidant and protective effects against oxidative stress.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in laboratory studies investigating COX enzyme inhibition and cellular signaling pathways.
• Veterinary Supplements: Applied in premium pet health products for its natural anti-inflammatory benefits.

Quality Control

Our Oleocanthal is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for demanding research and formulation work. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. While not a compendial item, our quality standards align with the rigor expected for nutraceutical and research-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and ensure long-term stability. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, separate from incompatible materials.
