Neurodegenerative diseases are linked with oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and the accumulation of abnormal proteins within the brain.
How high-polyphenol olive oil may help
Certain olive oil polyphenols can enter the bloodstream and reach the brain. Laboratory and early clinical research suggests they may:

- support the brain’s own antioxidant defences
- influence how harmful proteins accumulate
These mechanisms are why olive oil is a central fat source in dietary patterns associated with healthier ageing.
