Can You Take Olive Leaf Extract and Potassium Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Olive leaf extract and potassium both lower blood pressure. Olive leaf inhibits ACE while potassium promotes sodium excretion. Additive hypotensive effects may occur.

How to arrange timing

Monitor blood pressure when supplementing both at therapeutic doses.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
