Pomegranate is noted in many ancient texts and mythology as a symbol of health and fertility. The fruit contains many seeds, each surrounded by juice-filled sacs. Polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins are just some of the components of pomegranate which contribute to its ability to scavenge free radicals and protect against oxidative stress. One polyphenol, ellagic acid, has demonstrated powerful antioxidant support for cells. Animal and cellular studies suggest that ellagic acid has the potential to support healthy tissues, including that of the liver, lung, esophagus, stomach and colon. Research suggests that pomegranate may also help to maintain healthy angiogenesis. Pomegranate also has the potential to support cardiovascular health, as illustrated by a study of individuals consuming pomegranate juice for at least one year. An additional human trial of pomegranate juice indicated its potential to support vascular health and to maintain healthy angiotensin converting enzyme activity. Pomegranate extract has been combined with red raspberry extract, another prized source of ellagic acid.
