Health Benefits of Zakia Olive Oil
Zakia isn’t just food — it’s fuel for your body and brain.
Our extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed from single-origin olives in Tunisia’s ancient groves. Because we don’t blend, heat, or refine it, every bottle is rich in the natural compounds that make olive oil one of the most studied and trusted foods in the world.
Heart Health
“People who consume olive oil daily have a 14% lower risk of heart disease.”
— Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, 2020
Extra virgin olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats — the good kind — which help:
- Lower bad cholesterol (LDL)
- Increase good cholesterol (HDL)
- Reduce inflammation in blood vessels
Brain Function & Cognitive Health
“Polyphenols in olive oil protect against age-related cognitive decline.”
— Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2017
Zakia is naturally high in polyphenols — powerful plant antioxidants that:
- Support memory and mental clarity
- May reduce risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia
- Fight oxidative stress linked to brain ageing
Anti-Inflammatory Power
“Oleocanthal in EVOO has effects similar to ibuprofen.”
— Nature, 2005
Zakia contains oleocanthal, a rare compound that gives extra virgin olive oil its signature peppery finish. It helps:
- Reduce inflammation
- Protect joints and muscles
- Promote faster recovery post-exercise
Gut & Immune Support
A healthy gut = a healthy you. Olive oil supports:
- Good gut bacteria (it’s a natural prebiotic)
- Reduced risk of ulcers and gastritis
- A stronger immune system thanks to its antioxidants
Skin, Hair & Anti-Ageing
Your skin loves olive oil as much as your heart does. Zakia’s unfiltered, unrefined nature helps:
- Hydrate skin from within
- Boost collagen production
- Deliver Vitamin E and antioxidants that protect against premature ageing
Why Zakia Makes the Difference
Most supermarket oils are refined, blended, or stripped of their natural benefits. Zakia is:
- Cold-pressed within hours of harvest
- High in polyphenols
- Unfiltered and unblended
- Lab-tested for purity
You get all the flavour, and all the goodness — just as nature intended.
