Pomegranate Whole
Fruit Extract:
Originating in the
lush gardens of
Andalucia, Spain,
pomegranates were
regarded as symbols
of fertility. Recent
scientific studies
have shown that
pomegranate's high
content of ellagic
acid, a
naturally-occurring
phenolic compound
found in several
fruits and nuts, is
responsible for its
multiple health
benefits as a
powerful antioxidant
with anti-viral
activity. Additional
studies indicate
ellagic acid
effectively protects
cells from damaging
free radicals, and
the anthocyanidin
content of
pomegranates, also
well-known
scavengers of free
radicals, combine
synergistically to
greatly augment
pomegranate's
potency as an
antioxidant.
