The daily ritual professional athletes have quietly adopted to recover faster, train longer, and compete cleaner.
Why polyphenols, why now
Longevity researchers, ultra-endurance athletes, and the largest clinical-nutrition trials ever conducted all converge on the same input: a daily dose of high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil. FOYEVOO is built around that exact dose — sealed at peak potency.
The edge, explained
Polyphenols help dampen post-exercise inflammation, shortening the return to full output.
Hydroxytyrosol supports mitochondrial function — the cellular engine of sustained aerobic capacity.
Oleocanthal's COX-inhibiting action eases joint load without the GI risks of long-term NSAIDs.
Heavy training generates free radicals. Olive polyphenols neutralise them at the cellular level.
In the spotlight
Publicly documented references only — no fabricated endorsements.
Longevity research • publicly documented protocol
Has publicly made high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil a core daily input of his Blueprint longevity protocol, taking it daily and producing his own high-phenolic oil under the Blueprint label.
blueprint.bryanjohnson.comTrail running • multiple Skyrunner World Series & UTMB titles
Has spoken publicly in interviews about using olive oil as part of his fuelling strategy during ultra-endurance efforts that demand 9,000+ calories per day, citing its calorie density and quality of fat.
Public interviewsLandmark Mediterranean-diet study
Participants supplementing the Mediterranean diet with extra virgin olive oil saw an approximate 30% reduction in major cardiovascular events. The strongest clinical signal yet for daily olive oil as a long-term performance and longevity input.
Estruch et al., NEJM 2018Official EU health claim
Olive oil polyphenols are the only food compound to carry an EU-authorised health claim for protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress — the analytical threshold begins at 250 mg/kg of hydroxytyrosol and derivatives. FOYEVOO delivers 892% above that minimum.
EU Regulation 432/2012Customer and athlete testimonials will be published here once collected with full written consent. Until then, we'll only cite what's already on the public record.
Every batch is third-party tested at IOC-accredited laboratories. The only thing in the pod is cold-extracted extra virgin olive oil from a single early harvest. That's it.
The athlete's protocol
Daily 5ml pod, taken with breakfast. Builds antioxidant capacity and reduces baseline inflammation before training load ramps.
Daily 5ml pod, ideally 30 minutes pre-session or with the post-training meal. Supports session-to-session recovery.
Maintain daily dose. Avoid heating above 70°C to keep phenolic compounds intact.
Continue daily. Nitrogen-sealed pods travel anywhere — 18+ month stability in a kit bag.
The science layer
Oleocanthal, the active compound that gives high-phenolic olive oil its peppery throat-tingle, inhibits the same COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes as ibuprofen — but without the gastrointestinal toxicity of chronic NSAID use. For athletes managing daily inflammation across long seasons, that distinction matters.
Hydroxytyrosol — the most potent natural antioxidant in olive oil — supports mitochondrial function and helps protect cellular structures against the oxidative load generated by heavy training blocks.
