Hydroxytyrosol is a natural polyphenolic compound with strong antioxidant activity, which is mainly found in olive fruits, branches and leaves. Its molecular structure not only has phenolic hydroxyl groups like other phenolic substances, but also has alcoholic hydroxyl groups on the ethanol chain connected to the benzene ring. Studies have shown that the antioxidant activity of hydroxytyrosol is closely related to its structure.

Numerous studies have shown that hydroxytyrosol has good biological effects, including:
Antioxidant activity, hydroxytyrosol has a very powerful antioxidant effect
Antimicrobial activity
Prevents direct damage from various free radicals as well as UV-induced oxidative stress (protein oxidation and DNA damage)
Prevents diabetes and improves adipose tissue sensitivity to insulin
Reduces chance of smoke-induced age-related macular degeneration
Reduce atherosclerotic lesion area and resist myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
Protects against nitrification stress-induced neurotoxicity and iron-induced hepatocyte injury
Improves symptoms of β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced Alzheimer's disease and 3-nitropropionic acid-induced Huntington's disease
Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis
