The Claim

Bosana extra virgin olive oil phenolic extract, which is rich in hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol, exhibits greater antioxidant activity compared to Nera di Gonnos/Tonda di Cagliari olive oil phenolic extract in human intestinal Caco-2 cells exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide, likely due to the free radical scavenging properties of its dominant phenolic compounds.

Source: Extra virgin olive oil phenolic extracts counteract the pro-oxidant effect of dietary oxidized lipids in human intestinal cells.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Bosana olive oil extract seems to protect gut cells from damage better than another type of olive oil extract, probably because of the powerful natural antioxidants it contains.

See the scientific wording

Bosana extra virgin olive oil phenolic extract, rich in hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol, shows stronger antioxidant activity than Nera di Gonnos/Tonda di Cagliari extract in human intestinal Caco-2 cells exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide, likely due to the free radical scavenging properties of its dominant phenolic compounds.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Extra virgin olive oil phenolic extracts counteract the pro-oxidant effect of dietary oxidized lipids in human intestinal cells.

    The study shows that Bosana olive oil extract is better at protecting gut cells from oxidative damage than another type, likely because it has more of certain natural antioxidants.
