Interventions
Olive Oil Extract
The investigational product is an olive oil extract dietary supplement formulated for oral consumption. The product is provided in capsule form and is intended for general wellness use, including support of joint comfort and function. Each capsule delivers a standardized amount of olive-derived bioactive compounds, including oleocanthal and oleacein.
Placebo
The comparator product is a matched placebo formulated from refined olive oil extract and is similar in appearance, taste, and packaging to the investigational product. The placebo is intended to serve as a control for study comparisons and does not contain the standardized olive-derived bioactive compounds present in the investigational product.
