FAQ
It is a natural polyphenol derived from olives, chemically recognized as the most powerful antioxidant existing in nature. Unlike other common active ingredients, its molecular structure is small enough to penetrate deep into cell membranes. This allows it to neutralize free radicals where other ingredients fail. At FENÒLIA®, we do not use synthetic Hydroxytyrosol or extracts from waste; we use only the extract from the heart of extra virgin olive oil.
Hydroxytyrosol is the most active olive polyphenol, sought after for its ability to counteract oxidative stress. It protects the cardiovascular, nervous, and cutaneous systems, acting as the most powerful natural antioxidant against premature aging.
Yes. We do not rely on subjective “self-assessment tests.” We have collaborated with excellent partners such as the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital and the Universities of Rome Tor Vergata and Messina. Each of our formulations is validated by randomized, double-blind clinical studies. It is science, not just simple cosmetics. Explore the clinical trials.
Most products on the market make two mistakes: they use cheap polyphenols extracted from leaves and do not protect the active ingredient during digestion. FENÒLIA® is the only one to offer a dual advantage:
- The Source: We do not use leaf waste, but pure polyphenols extracted directly from olive oil, with superior antioxidant power.
- The Patent: We have patented an enteric-release capsule. Unlike common capsules that dissolve in the stomach, where gastric juices degrade the polyphenols reducing their effectiveness, our technology allows for safe passage through the stomach. The capsule opens only in the intestine, ensuring maximum and targeted absorption of the active ingredient.
Choosing FENÒLIA® does not just mean taking olive oil, but ensuring that every single milligram of polyphenol actually reaches your body.
Yes, and it is not an opinion: this is demonstrated by studies published in Nutrients and Antioxidants. Consistent intake of our Hydroxytyrosol has shown a 9% reduction in triglycerides, a decrease in fat mass, and a clear improvement in hepatic steatosis (fatty liver), acting directly on cellular inflammation.
Clinical studies on FENÒLIA® confirm that titrated Hydroxytyrosol helps reduce triglycerides and improve parameters of hepatic steatosis. It is a scientifically documented solution for liver health. See our capsules.
Supplementation with olive oil polyphenols (Hydroxytyrosol) protects blood lipids from oxidative stress, preventing plaque formation. FENÒLIA® capsules comply with EFSA parameters for heart protection.
FENÒLIA® creams act on three fronts:
Anti-age: Protects collagen fibers from oxidation.
Anti-pollution: Creates a shield against smog and fine dust.
Even-toning: Helps to prevent and lighten skin spots caused by UV rays.
FENÒLIA® research, in collaboration with the University of Messina, demonstrates that HT accelerates re-epithelialization and reduces erythema by up to 28%. It is ideal for repairing damage from radiotherapy (radiodermatitis) and counteracting cellular senescence induced by external agents.
It is not a popularity contest, it is chemistry. Its oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC value) is approximately 15 times higher than that of green tea and 3 times higher than that of coenzyme Q10. In short: you need less of it to obtain a much higher protective result.
On the contrary. While ingredients like retinol require attention to sun exposure, Hydroxytyrosol protects against damage induced by UV rays. It is the perfect companion to use under sunscreen or as a repairing after-sun.
Research from 2022 highlights how Hydroxytyrosol is able to inactivate certain viruses and reduce bacterial biofilm, actively protecting the skin barrier.
FENÒLIA® formulations reduce radiotherapy-induced erythema by up to 28%. They accelerate tissue repair and offer clinical support to patients undergoing oncological treatment for the management of skin irritations.
Beyond following your doctor’s specific medical advice, adopting a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern is fundamental to supporting liver health. Supplementation with natural antioxidants, such as those found in FENÒLIA®, can be a valuable ally in counteracting the accumulation of fats, supporting normal liver function and lipid metabolism, and helping your body return to a state of balance.
Oxidative stress doesn’t just affect internal organs; it also shows on your skin. When your skin’s barrier is under pressure, the Hydroxytyrosol polyphenols contained in FENÒLIA® act as a true natural ‘shield’. When applied topically, they help stimulate cellular regeneration processes and soothe irritation, helping to restore your skin’s natural comfort and protective barrier.
Supporting cardiovascular wellness also involves protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress. Hydroxytyrosol, found in FENÒLIA®, has demonstrated in various studies that it can help maintain normal HDL cholesterol levels and reduce the oxidation of fats in the blood. It is a natural, easy-to-integrate solution that works in harmony with your body, without the common side effects of other approaches.
