  2. Olive Leaf Extract Supplementation Improves Postmenopausal Symptoms: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Parallel Study on Postmenopausal Women Imperatrice M, Lasfar A, van Kalkeren CAJ, Troost F · Nutrients, 2024 DOI

    Small randomized trial tested one standardized extract for self-reported postmenopausal symptoms. The limited population, duration, and product-specific design require independent replication.
