Frutarom Health has introduced CitrOlive, a patented natural ingredient which combines a synergetic action of a formulation of olive and citrus extracts backed by extensive research of key phytochemicals, polyphenols and flavonoids.

CitrOlive supports overall cardiovascular health and protects against the hardening of the arteries, the underlying cause of most heart problems. The benefits of the ingredient result from its strong antioxidant and anti inflammatory activity. It is water soluble and can be combined in functional food and drinks, dietary supplements and nutrition bars.

"CitrOlive is an important addition to our Mediterranean ingredients line," says Yannick Capelle, product manager for Frutarom Health. "It reflects our mission to explore the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and provide pure, safe ingredients backed by solid scientific research."
