NOW Pomeratrol contains Pomegranate Extract, standardized to 80% Polyphenols and 40% Ellagic Acid. In addition, Pomeratrol contains Trans-Resveratrol, another potent antioxidant that protects cells against DNA damage and helps to sustain healthy cell cycles.
NOW Pomeratrol combination of antioxidant power and cellular protection thus provides strong support against abnormal cell growth, as well as against the effects of aging.
Pomegranate has been shown to contain a number of powerful antioxidant compounds including polyphenolics and anthocyanidins. Pomegranate is especially high in Ellagic Acid, which has been shown to support healthy cellular function.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) [Family: Punicaceae] fruit was called "The Fruit of Immortality" by the ancient Egyptians. Pomegranate is cultivated widely throughout Southeast Asia. In ancient times, the Greeks and Egyptians used pomegranate to heal many ailments. Pomegranate is one of nature's oldest remedies to relieve infections, intestinal parasites, chronic mucous discharges and hemorrhages. It was considered the fruit of the gods and was regarded as a symbol of fertility due to its round shape and abundant seeds.
More recently, Pomegranate extract has demonstrated a variety of beneficial functions including antioxidant and anti-viral activity. In 1996, a University of Nottingham Research team learned that pomegranate extract could destroy several viruses nearly on contact. The active constituent that appears to be responsible for its multiple health benefits is Ellagic acid (EA). EA is a naturally occurring phenolic compound (tannins) in many plants, fruits and nuts such as strawberry, red raspberry, blueberry, blackberries, walnuts, and pomegranate. The antioxidants of Pomegranate may enhance cardiovascular health, support the prevention of tumor cells and detoxify intestinal parasites. In addition, EA may help in retaining the integrity of collagen (vital to maintaining skin-structure.
What is Ellagic Acid?
Ellagic acid is a polyphenol compound found in raspberries, strawberries, pomegranates, and other fruit. It has been shown to normalize cell death of abnormal cells, a process called apoptosis. This enhances the bodys cell growth control system by providing an important plant substance. It may bind to DNA to prevent damage to this all-important genetic material. This is a key step in preventing cell damage that leads to signs of aging.
What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is an antioxidant compound that is a phytoestrogen, or plant estrogen, which is protective of hormone-mediated cells in the body. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant if stabilized. If not stable, it may quickly metabolize out of the body. This compound is believed responsible for some of the beneficial effects of moderate red wine drinking on the cardiovascular system. Resveratrol is also considered to be beneficial to smokers lung tissue if it is stabilized to last long enough in the system to be transported there. Resveratrol is also an inhibitor of the COX-2 inflammatory enzyme and encourages cell death (apoptosis) of abnormally growing cells.
Resveratrol is a difficult substance to stabilize. Because of the difference between resveratrol produced in the oxygen-poor environment in red wine and the form of resveratrol in unstabilized supplements, it has long been thought that resveratrol supplements were not very effective in comparison with wine. Knowing the importance of how a resveratrol supplement is metabolized, Nows scientific staff has recently developed a special technique of stabilizing this compound in order to have an antioxidant effect closer to drinking a good glass of wine. While both trans and cis forms of resveratrol are naturally occurring, most of the recorded health benefits are attributed to the trans form. Nows Pomeratrol provides trans-resveratrol.
