I have a bottle of olive leaf glycerite (Now brand, 18% olio-whatever it is) that I am thinking of trying for possible yeast infection.

How much do I take? Do I just drink it or do I put it in water? Sorry, no instructions on the bottle, and I am clueless about this particular herb!

Thanks,
~DM

PS - the last couple of days I've been trying peppermint extract as I've read that helps yeast as well. i've been putting that in warm water (15 drops). anyone try that before? helpful? figure it might also help the gallbladder which may be problematic in my case...

hey yeastie-experts!

i've got a lot of drug/food sensitivities/allergies. because i can tolerate olive oil, i'm hoping i can also tolerate olive leaf extract.

i think i've got yeast stuff going on, so i'd like to give this a shot, but NOT a clue about how much to take...ramping up, etc.

its liquid in a bottle with a dropper. please, how much to take? to start?

thanks

Can't help you with the liquid stuff Dura. But, I take the pill form of Olive Leaf extract, along with echincea when I feel a cold coming on, and wowzeer !

Nose is like a faucet ! I have no idea what the stuff is doing, but colds, flu's, etc., never seem to take hold. I've heard it's great for yeast as well.

Don't know if this helps, but I took two a day at 150mg.

Thank you Ann.

However, I have searched here & on google and cannot for the life of me find starting/full doses of LIQUID olive leaf glycerin for yeast/lyme.

All articles reference capsules.

That is why I am hoping someone will respond who perhaps uses liquid version.

My quest continues....

Hi,
Can't help with the liquid either, I took capsules. You might try contacting your local health food store. They should know or be able to look it up in their books for you. I was told that garlic is really good for treating yeast.

good luck.

A company called East Park research makes something called d-lenolate(?), the active ingredient in Olive leaf(?). l-lenolate, its 3D counterpart, is also an active ingredient. I guess the thinking here is that susceptible organisms can quickly adapt to the l-lenolate, but not the d-lenolate; or, it takes longer for them to mount a defense against the 'd-' form, and so more yeast are killed.

A book called, 'The Yeast Connection' is supposed to be one of the best books on the topic, but I've never read it.
