The Good Leaf

The Good Leaf With Dr. Jackie Evans

Science has a lot to learn from human history, according to Dr. Jackie Evans, Comvita’s Head of Research. Even though our ancestors have been using natural ingredients for thousands of years, now we are only just beginning to understand how these complex natural systems work at a detailed scientific level – and we’re learning from the best – from Mother Nature herself. “Nature does nothing without purpose or in vain.” - Aristotle. Science has played a key role in Comvita’s history in helping to understand and boost the efficacy of natural ingredients used in our products. Dr Jackie Evans hosted an IGTV session to explore the science behind Olive Leaf Extract and what makes it so powerful.
