Pomegranate Health Benefits
Packed with Nutrients
Pomegranates are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, yet low in calories and fat, with some protein. A 300-gram fruit provides 4.7 grams of protein and 11.3 grams of fiber. High in potassium and vitamin C, along with folate, magnesium and phosphorus1.
Heart & Brain
One cup (220 mL) of pomegranate juice was administered to participants in a human trial. The juice drastically decreased some blood indicators that have a protective effect on heart health, as well as the frequency and intensity of chest pain2.
30 x Stronger
100% natural and tasty way for cognition enhancement and brain performance. Strengthen your gut microbiome by eating a fermented medical food with natural Lactobacillus. Each bottle is produced by at least 30 healthy, high-quality organic pomegranates.
Grapefruits are low in calories and high in nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. However, pomegranates are much higher in antioxidants, specifically polyphenols, which can help protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease and cognitive impairments.

We commit to promoting individual health, protect the environment, avoid animal suffering, work with local farmers that respect biodiversity and the planet.
Punicalagins, Ellagitannins, Ellagic Acid, Urolithin A
Pomegranate ellagitannins are hydrolyzed to ellagic acid over the course of many hours in the intestine instead of being absorbed intact into the bloodstream. Gut flora also converts ellagitannins into urolithins, which are conjugated in the liver and passed out in the urine. On this basis, both ellagic acid and urolithin A are derivatives produced after consuming the pomegranate concentrate and therefore are not present in significant quantities in the original food form. Consequently, when designing and producing the functional properties of this product, our primary focus has been to skyrocket the natural level of polyphenols and we’ve done exactly that; our pomegranate concentrate contains more than 10.000 mg/kg of natural polyphenols, including punicalagins. This is also among the reasons that we designed and produced the fermented pomegranate concentrate; to facilitate the bioabsorption process by improving the gut flora.
Supplements that contain urolithin A and ellagic acid do not share the same chemical structure as the ones that result from the natural biotransformation process. The isolated form can never be as effective, especially given the fact that conventional supplements do not provide a complex enzyme structure. Most supplement marketing strategies are not based on ethically translating the research outputs. – Konstantinos Mammasis, PhD, Of Dreams and Knowledge
