Provided is a method of producing a stabilized polymer in which inhibition of polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond is suppressed even when a specific phenolic antioxidant is added before or during the polymerization of the monomer. The method of producing a stabilized polymer is characterized by comprising the step of adding at least one phenolic antioxidant which is represented by the following Formula (I), (II) or (III) and masked with an organic aluminum to a catalyst system or a polymerization system before or during polymerization of a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond: 

Method for producing stabilized polymer

Provided are a recycling method for industrially, simply and effectively recycling a phenolic body from a phenolic antioxidant which is masked by an organoaluminum compound and contained in an olefin polymer obtained by supplying the masked phenolic antioxidant upon polymerization; and an olefin polymer obtained by this method. In a method for recycling a phenolic antioxidant wherein a phenolic antioxidant which is masked by an organoaluminum compound and contained in an olefin polymer obtained by supplying the masked phenolic antioxidant upon polymerization is recycled to a phenolic body, a nitrogen gas comprising water and/or a proton donor at a volume ratio of 1.0&#xd7;10to 2.5&#xd7;10with respect to 1 volume of nitrogen is brought into contact with the olefin polymer.
