From the seeds to the juice, the fruit, and the oil, each and every part of a pomegranate is beneficial to your health. But during certain times of year and in certain geographic regions, pomegranates can be difficult to find in grocery store produce sections. If keeping a constant supply of the fruit in your kitchen is a challenge, consider picking up a bottle of our Pomegranate 500 mg capsules, which include every part of the pomegranate fruit. We freeze-dry this mixture and ground it into fine powder, using no chemicals, solvents, or fillers throughout the entire process.
According to family physician, best-selling author, and nutritional medicine specialist, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, these are some of the healthy features of the pomegranate:
- Most powerful anti-oxidant of all fruits
- Potent immune supporting effects
- Inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation
Our capsules are one of the simplest ways to ensure you’re body is getting enough of the essential nutrients contained in pomegranate, but there are lots of great ways to use pomegranate powder too. Here are a few options to experiment with pomegranate powder in your kitchen at home:
