Originating in the middle east before being introduced to Southern California, the pomegranate has long been prized for its health benefits. The juicy pulp and crunchy seeds are a good source of potassium, vitamin C and antioxidants, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Antioxidants neutralize destructive free radicals in the body. Free radicals form during the body’s normal metabolic processes. Smoking, obesity, poor diet and stress, among other factors, may cause an unhealthy increase in free radicals that then start attacking normal body tissue.
Research has shown that many degenerative diseases are the direct result of damage caused by free radicals. Pomegranates contain polyphenols, powerful antioxidants which may directly protect the arteries by reducing oxidative stress.
Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of red wine or green tea. Research indicates that the antioxidants in pomegranates reduce plaque buildup on artery walls and reduce stress on the cells lining the blood vessels. These cells produce nitric oxide which helps the blood vessels relax. Researchers found that heart cells increased nitric oxide production by 50 percent when treated with pomegranate juice.
In several human clinical studies, pomegranate juice was found effective for reducing various heart risk factors which lead to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. A strong circulatory system is foundational to optimal health.
While pomegranates are very healthy, they can also be expensive and difficult to find, not to mention messy to eat. Vitabase Pomegranate Capsules provide all the health benefits of pomegranate in an inexpensive and convenient supplement.
Containing 500 mg per capsule, Vitabase Pomegranate is twice as strong as most other brands on the market today.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement take one (1) capsule, two (2) times daily.

All Vitabase brand products are manufactured within the USA. This is an important for quality because the FDA inspects our manufacturing facilities regularly. In other countries, governmental agencies may not necessarily exercise much control over manufacturing processes.
We source our ingredients from around the world. This is important because the best available ingredients are not necessarily made in the United States. For example, we get our liquid herbal extract ingredients from Europe because they are absolutely the best on the market.
