Worth it?
5/10. Olive leaf extract shows some promise for immune support due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the evidence is not as robust as it is for other well-established immune-boosting supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, or Zinc. It might offer a mild benefit, but don't rely on it as your primary defense.
