BENEFITS OF ELLAGIC ACID

  

Ellagic Acid is a polyphenol antioxidant present in many red fruits and berries, including raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, cranberries, pomegranates, wolfberry and some nuts including pecans and walnuts. The highest levels of ellagic acid are found in raspberries. In plants ellagic acid is present in the form of ellagitannin, which is ellagic acid bound to a sugar molecule.

 

Properties

Ellagic acid has antioxidant, anti-mutagen and anti-cancer properties. It has also antiviral and antibacterial activities. 

Studies have shown the anti-cancer activity on cancer cells of the breast, oesophagus, skin, colon, prostate and pancreas. More specifically, ellagic acid prevents the destruction of P53 gene by cancer cells. Ellagic acid can bind with cancer causing molecules, thereby making them inactive.

Studies have shown that ellagic acid is able to cause apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells. Some also claim that it can prevent the binding of carcinogens to DNA, and strengthens connective tissue, which may keep cancer cells from spreading. Some studies demonstrate that ellagic acid is able to reduce heart disease, birth defects, liver fibrosis, and to promote wound healing.

 

How does ellagic acid work?

Ellagic acid acts as a scavenger to "bind" cancer-causing chemicals, making them inactive.

Ellagic acid inhibits the ability of other chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. In addition, ellagic acid from red raspberries prevents binding of carcinogens to DNA, and reduces the incidence of cancer in cultured human cells exposed to carcinogens.

Red berries provide ellagic acid , which may protect the body from smoke and pollution by inactivating carcinogens and inhibiting free-radical formation.

In short:

 

    * Contains a very strong anti-oxidant

    * Is also a potent anti-carcinogen.

    * Has the ability to inhibit mutations within a cell's DNA.

    * Is also considered to be a cancer inhibitor which has the ability to cause apoptosis or normal cell death in cancer cells.

    * Has antibacterial and anti-viral properties.

 

Some companies, all over  the Internet, claim misleading high figures of Ellagic Acid content in their products. Sadly, they are quoting the percentage of raspberry pulp. This is irrelevant because the highest yield of Ellagitannin is found in the seeds. 

Some quote high figures where the content is added to, in order to raise the percentage of ellagitannin to what they want to claim. Our product has remarkably high levels of potent polyphenols antioxidants that can help protect the body from free radicals causing cell-damage. This is good science!
