Quick answer
Taking a daily extra virgin olive oil shot in the morning is a simple way to support gut, metabolic, heart, skin, and immune health with powerful polyphenols.
Why timing matters for your olive oil shot
Taking your olive oil shot on an empty stomach, about 20-30 minutes before breakfast, allows your body to absorb the polyphenols more efficiently. The peppery kick you feel is a sign those antioxidants are active. If the taste is too strong, start with a smaller amount and work up to a full shot.
How to take your daily olive oil shot
- Start with the right amount: Pour one pre-measured Kosterina Extra Virgin Olive Oil Shot (or about 1 tablespoon if using a bottle) into a small glass. Don’t dilute it—take it straight for maximum polyphenol absorption. Common mistake: using too much oil at first can cause digestive discomfort. Stick to one shot per day.
- Take it on an empty stomach: Consume the shot first thing in the morning, at least 20 minutes before eating or drinking anything else. This helps your body absorb the antioxidants more effectively. Checkpoint: If you feel a strong peppery burn, that’s normal—it signals high polyphenol content.
- Sip or shoot? Follow your preference: You can either toss it back like a shot or sip it slowly over a minute. Both methods work, but sipping lets you notice the flavor notes. Chase with water if needed, but avoid citrus or acidic drinks immediately after. Common mistake: chasing with coffee or juice can reduce polyphenol absorption. Stick to plain water.
