How Pomegranate Can Improve Your Health
Originating in the Middle East before being introduced to Southern California, the pomegranate has long been prized for its health benefits. The juicy pulp and crunchy seeds are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidants, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
Antioxidants neutralize destructive free radicals that form during the body’s normal metabolic processes. Smoking, obesity, poor diet, and stress (among other factors) may cause an unhealthy increase in free radicals that then start attacking normal body tissue.
More Antioxidants than Red Wine or Green Tea Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of red wine or green tea. Research indicates that the antioxidants in pomegranates reduce plaque buildup on artery walls and reduce stress on the cells lining the blood vessels. These cells produce nitric oxide, which helps the blood vessels relax. Researchers found that heart cells increased nitric oxide production by 50 percent when treated with pomegranate juice. More research is needed, however, before specific health benefits can be established.
The Convenience of Capsule Form While pomegranates are very healthy, they can also be expensive, difficult to find, and messy to eat. Vitabase Pomegranate capsules provide all the health benefits of pomegranate in an inexpensive, convenient supplement.
Containing 500 mg per capsule, Vitabase Pomegranate is twice as strong as most other brands on the market today.
