P40p™
Pomegranate 40% punicosides
All of the benefits
of pomegranate juice without the calories.
P40p™ is a unique
product, carrier free, instantly soluble in water and is
standardize to a full spectrum of all of the essential
compounds responsible for specific health promoting benefits
of the best pomegranate juice. P40p™ has been developed in
collaboration with Polifenoles Naturales, S.A. (“Polinat”),
based in Las Palmas (Canary Island), Spain.
P40p™ pomegranate
extract is standardized to minimum of 40% punicosides,
(class of natural polyphenols related to punicalagins). (see
figure 1). P40p™ contains high levels of antioxidants and
natural compounds which reduce the cell damage typically
created by free radicals during the natural biological
process of oxidation. P40p™ is Kosher.
The uniqueness of P40p™
originates in the fact that it is standardized to the full
spectrum of compounds responsible for the health promoting
benefits. Scientific studies have demonstrated that
punicalagins are the compounds in pomegranate that are
responsible for its superior antioxidant activity
Recently pomegranate extract has become a
popular ingredient in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
This is in response to published clinical studies in leading
journals showing its positive health promoting effects.
The consumer is now better educated on
benefits of antioxidants, and is more aware
of emergent research on the applications of functional
antioxidants beyond simple
oxidative stress. Pomegranate provides its antioxidant
benefits via an array of specific polyphenols present in the
fruit.
Health benefits relating
promoting cardiovascular health and preventing oxidative
stress are delivered with as little as 50 mL (1.7 ounces) of
pomegranate juice per day, which is the equivalent to 40-50
mg of P40p™
extract per day.
The benefits of
pomegranate have been validated by published research:
-
Punicalagins have been shown to outperform ellagic acid
protecting cellular health and normal cell reproduction,
and also deliver strong synergistic effects when present
among other polyphenols found in pomegranate juice
Seeram, et al. (2005)
-
Numerous studies have
demonstrated the
protective benefits of pomegranate juice (of which
punicalagins are a prominent marker compound) for
cellular health in humans.
Kim, et al.
(2002) and Kawaii &
Lansky (2004)
-
Pomegranate Juice promotes a healthy heart. In vivo and
human studies have established pomegranate juice’s
benefits promoting a healthy cardiovascular system. (De
Nigris, et al, 2005), (Polagruto, et al,
2003) (Aviram et al, 2004).
