History and Usage:

Pomegranate Juice Concentrate is prepared from California Wonderful Variety pomegranates. It is a unique concentration that provides four times the amount of antioxidants than pomegranate juice itself. A daily dosage of 1-2 tablespoons per is sufficient to provide all the health benefits of the pomegranate.

The pomegranate (Punica granatum) has long been regarded as having many health benefits. The pomegranate is superior to all the other fruits, even blueberries and strawberries, in its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value, i.e., the capacity of the fruit to absorb oxygen radicals, making it one of the most potent antioxidant fruits.

Pomegranate juice has a broad spectrum of polyphenolic compounds, including gallic and ellagic acids, anthocyanin, tannins and punicalagin. As a powerful antioxidant, punicalagin protects the functions of the cardiovascular system and the accuracy of cellular replication.

Clinical trials have revealed that pomegranate juice decreases LDL oxidation. It also promotes macrophage (cellular) glutathione. Pomegranate juice helps maintain and promote normal platelet activity, cell replication, and cell functioning. It prevents the activities of ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) thereby supporting regular vascular contractions.

Pomegranate tops all other conventional fruits, including blueberry and strawberry, in its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value, ranking pomegranate as one of the most powerful antioxidant fruits. Pomegranate juice contains a wide range of polyphenolic compounds, including ellagic and gallic acid, anthocyanins and tannins, especially punicalagin. Punicalagin is a powerful antioxidant, protecting cardiovascular function and accurate cellular replication.* Clinical and experimental studies show that pomegranate juice: Decreases Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation.* Enhances cellular (macrophage) glutathione.* Helps maintain regular platelet activity.* Reduces activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and supports normal vascular contraction.* Promotes normal cell function and replication.* WARNING: Pomegranate juice, like grapefruit juice, may interact with a number of medications. People on any medication, especially on anti-hypertensive or cholesterol lowering medications, or people who are allergic to many plants, should consult their physician before taking pomegranate juice or pomegranate products.
