Benefits
Antioxidant defense
Pomegranate punicalagins are among the most potent natural antioxidants, protecting cells and blood lipids from oxidative stress.
Healthy blood pressure
Pomegranate consumption is studied for supporting healthy blood pressure, contributing to cardiovascular wellness.
Cardiovascular support
By protecting LDL cholesterol and supporting blood-vessel function, pomegranate polyphenols support heart health.
Mechanism of action
Punicalagin antioxidants
Pomegranate punicalagins and ellagitannins scavenge free radicals and are converted by gut bacteria into urolithins with further activity.
Nitric-oxide and vascular support
Pomegranate polyphenols support nitric-oxide-mediated blood-vessel relaxation, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure.
Clinical trials
