About this trial

The purpose of this study is to assess whether introducing table olives into the diet results in health-related benefits for young adults. Several studies have shown that addition of olives as part of somebody's diet has a positive impact on cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammatory factors. However, there have not been many studies among young, healthy adults. This study will compare levels of specific biomarkers, collected through blood draw, at the beginning of the study and after 5 weeks, to evaluate the effects of investigational daily olive consumption.
