BioHarvest Sciences achieves breakthrough in Liver health with Olive Cell compound
BioHarvest Sciences has announced a significant advancement in liver health research, with new in vitro test results demonstrating the efficacy of its proprietary Olive Cell compound in reducing fat accumulation in human liver cells. CEO Ilan Sobel shared the news with Steve Darling from Proactive, highlighting the compound’s potential in addressing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—a condition that affects 30–40% of U.S. adults and currently has limited FDA-approved treatment options.
The latest studies revealed that the Olive Cell compound mitigated fat accumulation in both a liver steatosis model and experimental models of liver fibrosis. Additionally, it reduced collagen type 1 levels in XL-2 cells, a key marker of fibrosis progression, further reinforcing its therapeutic potential.
BioHarvest attributes these promising results to the compound’s high levels of Verbascoside, a bioactive polyphenol with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Looking ahead, the company plans to conduct further studies in 2025, with the goal of launching Olive Cell as a nutraceutical product in 2026. Meanwhile, BioHarvest is also exploring pharmaceutical partnerships to bring the compound to market through a CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) model.
With these groundbreaking findings, BioHarvest Sciences is positioning itself at the forefront of liver health innovation, offering a potential new solution for millions affected by NAFLD and liver fibrosis.
