Evidence-based insights into high polyphenol olive oil and longevity.
High polyphenol extra virgin olive oil is clinically associated with reduced oxidative stress, improved endothelial function and enhanced cellular repair. Mitō focuses on measurable evidence and dose, translating tradition into a simple daily habit.
How it works
Olive polyphenols act as potent antioxidants and signalling molecules. Controlled studies show that high polyphenol EVOO modulates inflammatory pathways, supports vascular health and promotes mitochondrial resilience. These mechanisms are central to healthy ageing.
- Reduced oxidative stress, including lipid peroxidation markers
- Improved endothelial function, measured by flow-mediated dilation
- Supported cellular repair, with gene-level activation reported
What this means in practice: consistent intake of high polyphenol EVOO can help preserve vessel elasticity, lower oxidative damage and support cellular maintenance. Benefits tend to accumulate quietly over time when the oil is used daily.
Daily ritual
Consistency matters. Research suggests that daily intake of high polyphenol EVOO provides cumulative benefits when integrated into a balanced, whole-food diet.
Guidance: enjoy one to two tablespoons per day. Take as a spoon, finish dishes or drizzle over greens. Store cool, dark and sealed.
Quality and testing
Each Mitō batch is cold extracted at harvest and independently analysed to verify polyphenol level, acidity and purity.
We publish verified lab data so you can track potency and antioxidant performance over time.
“A simple habit, clinically aligned with cardiovascular and cellular health.”
The European Food Safety Authority recognises that olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. This claim reflects the role of compounds such as hydroxytyrosol in maintaining lipid stability.
