What EVOO does
Here's what the science says. EVOO supports…
#1: Heart health
- EVOO is rich in polyphenols, natural compounds found in olives with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
- also rich in oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid
- both support heart health
#2: Brain health
- polyphenols and oleic acid support brain health
#3: Cell health
- oleic acid supports cell membranes and cell repair
- polyphenols support cellular defense
#4: Inflammation
- polyphenols support healthy inflammatory function
What to look for
Most suppliers don't test their EVOO, and some oils may not be what they claim. Purity, freshness, and polyphenol content are all critical for EVOO's health benefits.
When choosing an EVOO, look for verified testing for purity, high levels of polyphenols and oleic acid, and proper storage that protects the oil from light and oxidation.
Blueprint EVOO is:
- high in polyphenols (>400 mg/kg)
- high in oleic acid (>67%)
- stored in UV-protected glass to maintain integrity
- sourced from alternating hemispheres for quality and freshness
- third-party tested for purity and heavy metals
How to use EVOO
Take 1–3 tablespoons daily, on its own or with food.
- drizzle over salads and veggies
- add to Longevity Protein
- mix in a smoothie
- take as a shot
The taste is peppery and smooth. Bryan consumes it daily with each meal.
