Pomegranate Extract

Pomegranate Extract Capsules provide the equivalent of up to 12.3 ounces of pomegranate juice (or 24 pomegranates) plus added cocoa polyphenols in just one capsule.

A number of recent studies reveal the pomegranate’s surprising array of benefits. Pomegranates contain powerful antioxidants that appear to:

• Inhibit the onset of atherosclerosis
• May help reduce the risk of heart disease
• Mediate high blood pressure

Pomegranate extract also has demonstrated anticarcinogenic properties that are effective in suppressing a variety of cancers, including

• Skin
• Breast
• Colon

In a study conducted at the Lipid research Laboratory, Rambam Medical Center in Israel showed that after after one year of pomegranate juice consumption, systolic blood pressure was reduced by 21%. This effect is believed to be related to the particularly potent antioxidant properties of pomegranate polyphenols.

A similar study at the same research facility examined the effect of pomegranate in lowering blood pressure. Hypertensive patients were given 50 ml of pomegranate juice each for two weeks. The result showed a 5% reduction in systolic blood pressure along with a 36% decrease in serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity. The study authors concluded, “Pomegranate juice can offer wide protection against cardiovascular diseases, which could be related to its inhibitory effect on oxidative stress and on serum ACE activity.”

These varied and very promising disease-promoting effects are likely to make the pomegranate the focus of modern medical research for some time to come.
