Pomegranate Fruit Extract

Overview of health benefits Pomegranate contains polyphenols, which are among nature's most powerful antioxidants for fighting free radicals, which damage cells. In addition, Pomegranate Fruit Extract contains the polyphenol equivalent of 30 pomegranates for an above-average capacity to promote heart health. Why it works Pomegranate contains powerful antioxidants that contribute to the health of the prostate, breast, kidneys, liver, joints and heart. They also moderate high blood pressure. Numerous studies have shown that pomegranate is one of the most powerful and effective antioxidants that nature has to offer. In addition, pomegranate extract is absorbed far more efficiently into the bloodstream than other fruit extracts. According to one study, up to 95 % is absorbed, which is far higher than other fruit extracts that contain polyphenol. In addition, each capsule of Pomegranate Fruit Extract contains the polyphenol equivalent of 30 pomegranates. Most polyphenols from plants have remarkable health benefits but are relatively difficult for the body to absorb. However, the unique polyphenols found in pomegranates, called punicalagins, dissolve 100 % in water [1]. Polyphenols from pomegranate contribute to heart health and also contain components called ellagitannins, which metabolise into polyphenols such as ellagic acid. The science behind the product Clinical studies have demonstrated that pomegranate is one of the most effective free-radical inhibitors in nature [2-8]. It also plays a role in inhibiting the inflammatory cytokine called interleukin-1 beta. Numerous scientific reports have highlighted the incredible health benefits of punicalagins, which contribute to cardiovascular health as well as prostate health [2-8]. Life Extension® has created an independent pomegranate extract. An exclusive extraction process preserves the polyphenols of pomegranate (including punicalagins) in a dry, concentrated powder form. It is therefore now possible to obtain the equivalent health benefits of 36.9 cl of pomegranate juice (or 30 pomegranates) in a single capsule to be taken daily. The polyphenols in pomegranate have anti-inflammatory effects that further protect blood vessels from damage, promote arterial health and reduce blood pressure [9].
