Cosmos Health Continues U.S. Expansion with Launch of Oliv18, Targeting Cardiovascular and Antioxidant Categories

Science-backed, USDA and EU-certified, whole olive tree supplement for two major wellness categories — rapidly growing global market projected to exceed $33 billion

• Oliv18™ expands the 18 Series with a USDA and EU organic certified, 100% solvent-free, whole olive polyphenol formulation from the Moroccan Saharan desert
• Hydroxytyrosol — the key active in Oliv18™ — is the highest ORAC polyphenol
• A single 250 mg daily dose meets EFSA's 5 mg/day hydroxytyrosol minimum dose for protection against LDL oxidation
• A single daily dose equivalent to approximately 11 teaspoons of good quality extra virgin olive oil — compared to an average of half a teaspoon per day in the U.S.
• Targeting the multibillion cardiovascular health and antioxidant markets, initially in the United States and globally thereafter — within a combined global market landscape projected to exceed $33 billion by 2035

CHICAGO, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosmos Health Inc. (“Cosmos Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, today announced the U.S. launch of Oliv18™, further expanding its science-driven 18 Series nutraceutical platform into cardiovascular and antioxidant categories.

Scientific Background
Oliv18™ is formulated with a whole olive polyphenol extract derived from the fruit and leaf of olive trees cultivated in the Moroccan stretch of the Saharan Desert. The growing conditions include:

• Arid temperatures of ≥140°F (60° C) in direct sun, with rocky terrain
• Low water reserves and high water salinity
• Thermo-evaporative conditions activate Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL), which increases polyphenol synthesis in the olive tree

The extract is USDA and EU organic certified, produced using a 100% solvent-free process, free from any hydrolysis or waste-water processing, and standardized to hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein — the two key representative actives from the olive fruit and leaf respectively. Hydroxytyrosol is the most studied polyphenol in olive oil, characterised by efficient absorption and recognised as the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) polyphenol, and exclusive to olives, olive oil, and wine.

It is estimated that a single 250 mg daily dose of Oliv18™ delivers polyphenols equivalent to approximately 11 teaspoons of good quality extra virgin olive oil — the quantity associated with Mediterranean consumption patterns — and meets European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA) 5 mg/day hydroxytyrosol minimum dose for protection against LDL oxidation.

Oliv18™ — Product Profile

Market Opportunity
Oliv18™ addresses two significant and growing categories in consumer health — cardiovascular wellness and antioxidant protection — driven by aging demographics, rising awareness of preventive wellness, and increasing consumer demand for evidence-backed natural solutions.

In the United States, the cardiovascular health supplements market was estimated at $2.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $3.27 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research), with the U.S. antioxidants market valued at $1.66 billion in 2025 and projected to nearly double to $3.18 billion by 2035 (Precedence Research). Globally, the two categories are projected to reach $25.39 billion and $8.38 billion respectively by 2035 (SNS Insider; Precedence Research) — collectively exceeding $33 billion by 2035.

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: “Oliv18™ represents another important step in the continued expansion of our 18 Series platform and reflects our broader strategy of developing differentiated nutraceutical products built around clinically informed formulation approaches, premium sourcing, and science-driven positioning. We believe long-term growth within consumer wellness increasingly favors products supported by scientific substantiation, quality-focused manufacturing, and evidence-based formulation strategies. Oliv18™ further strengthens our ability to expand within large and growing wellness categories while continuing to broaden the reach of our 18 Series portfolio.”
