The polyphenol extract from Pomegranate Seeds 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. 

Products name: Pomegranate Seed Extract  

Synonyms: Megranate Seed Extract

Latin Name: Punica Granatum L

Plant source:  Seeds of Pomegranate (Pericarpium granati)

Active Ingredient: Polyphenol

Characteristics: Deep rose-red powder

Specification: 

Polyphenols 40-80%   UV

Function:

1) Improves Capillary Activity and Strengthens Capillary Membranes

      By helping the lining of arteries resist attachment of mutagens which can cause cardiovascular disease, Megranate seed polyphenols can help restore the strength of capillaries and improve circulation. Improved circulation is especially important in the cases of stroke victims, diabetics, arthritics, smokers, women taking oral contraceptives, and people with swollen, edematous legs (legs that accumulate an abnormal amount of fluid in the tissues).

2) Improves Skin Smoothness and Elasticity

       Collagen, the main protein found in skin, is responsible for skin texture. Megranate seed polyphenols defends skin against attack by free radicals and collagen degrading enzymes. This protective action of it may help to prevent formation of early facial wrinkles that occur due to the loss of skin elasticity. In many European countries, women take Megranate seed polyphenols as a supplement in order to prevent the onset of wrinkles, and to assist in keeping skin smooth and elastic.

3) Reduces Diabetic Retinopathy and Improves Visual Acuity

        Diabetics are prone to vascular fragility. Megranate seed polyphenols has been used for years in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and reduced visual acuity.

4) Reduces Varicose Veins

        By reducing capillary fragility, Megranate seed polyphenols may help prevent bruising and may inhibit the formation of varicose veins.

5) Helps Improve Brain Function

         Megranate seed polyphenols may be important to brain function, not only because it protects blood vessels, but also because it is one of the few dietary antioxidants that appears to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier to directly protect brain cells. Strengthening of capillaries and other blood vessels may help to protect against stroke. Scientists speculate that the protection of brain cells may help protect memory and reduce senility. There are indications that even sluggish memories may improve, perhaps due to better circulation and cell nourishment. There are strong possibilities in the future for the use of Megranate seed polyphenol in fighting senility.

6) Fights Inflammation In Arthritis And Reduces The Risk Of Phlebitis

      Megranate seed polyphenols may help to improve joint flexibility and aid in the repair of collagen in connective tissue, a function which may be of interest to athletes. Additionally, they may help reduce inflammation due to injury. Megranate seed polyphenols may also inhibit histamine release, stress ulcers, and arterial damage.
