Product Introduction

The pomegranate (Punica Granatum L.) is packed with healthy anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory agents with healthful benefits. Both pomegranate skin and seeds can be used in Chinese traditional medicine in ancient times in China. The recent study shows pomegranate contains high levels of polyphenols, including punicalagin, the major fruit ellagitannin, and ellagic acid. It is also a good source of ascorbic acid. The polyphenols extracted from pomegranate seeds and skin is a powerful antioxidant which helps to improve joint flexibility and skin elasticity, strengthen capillaries, arteries, and veins. Its activity in fighting inflammation in arthritis and sports injuries has also been reported. Eye disorders such as diabetic retinopathy (inflammation of the retina associated with diabetes mellitus) and reduced visual acuity can also benefit from it. The pomegranate fruit powder is spray dried from the pomegranate concentrate juice. It can be freely used in food and beverage. The nutrients in the pomegranate fruit powder increase blood flow. This reduces blood pressure, helps circulation, and provides healthier hair and skin.
