Super foods are thought to contain vitamins, nutrients or minerals that may hold special properties for promoting health or increasing vitality. Similarly, functional foods are considered to be any food or food ingredient that may provide a health benefit beyond the traditional nutrients it contains.
There is an overwhelming body of evidence that suggests that eating foods containing physiologically active components, either from plant or animal sources, may enhance health. A diet rich in a variety of phytonutrients (plant nutrients), along with vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates is now gaining widespread acceptance as being beneficial to one’s overall state of well-being.
Super- and functional foods are not a replacement for a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fiber, and low in saturated fats and simple sugars. However, adding a mix of super foods and functional foods to your diet can make a meaningful impact on your total health.
Pomegranate Products
The pomegranate, with its distinctive scarlet rind (pericarp) and vibrantly colored seed cases (arils), is one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world. This exotic fruit features prominently in religious texts and mythological tales and has been revered through the ages for its medicinal properties. Pomegranate preparations contain a wealth of bioactive compounds.
Aside from being a good source of vitamins (B1, B2, C and niacin) and minerals (particularly potassium), pomegranates are rich in antioxidant tannins and flavonoids. Numerous clinical studies of pomegranate phytochemicals have illustrated their detoxification ability, DNA protection, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and cardiovascular and liver protection.
Jarrow Formulas® Pomegreat Pomegranate Juice Concentrate and Pomegranate/Grape/Blueberry Juice Concentrate are concentrated 4-times from the arils (seed cases) of Pomegranate. Both have high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) Values of 1245 (Pomegranate) and 2085 (Pomegranate/ Grape/Blueberry) per serving. Jarrow’s Pomegreat concentrates contain the levels of polyphenols found naturally in pomegranates, with no added ellagic acid.
PomGuard™ from Jarrow Formulas® and Pomegranate Health™ combines the beneficial compounds from the juice, seed, and peel into a single capsule. Only PomGuard contains the complete spectrum of beneficial pomegranate phytonutrients. PomGuard’s antioxidant activity is enhanced through fermentation. Fermentation releases the tightly bound sugars from the antioxidant tannins and flavonoids, which increases the absorption and activity of these polyphenols.
