Seagate’s Pomegranate Capsules
Many people are intimidated by pomegranates because they are a lesser-known fruit that can be hard to find some places and that is packed with seeds. If you want to get all of the benefits of the pomegranate fruit in an affordable way and with none of the hassle, try Seagate Pomegranate Capsules.
We make these capsules with whole pomegranates that are delivered to our plant on the day they are harvested. We wash the fruits, chop them into small pieces, and use the entire mix of seeds, pulp, skin, and juice in our freeze-dryer. The fine powder that results represents a 10:1 concentration from the original whole fruit. It’s 100 percent pure with no fillers, excipients, chemicals, or solvents.
Celebrate National Pomegranate Month
To give this superfood fruit the attention it deserves, plan to eat at least a few pomegranates during the month of November, or start your new daily supplement regimen by taking two Seagate Pomegranate capsules per day. You can also make your own pomegranate juice or smoothies if you feel creative and have a juicer or blender.
Another way to celebrate National Pomegranate Month is to plant some pomegranates at your home. If you have kids, this is a great opportunity to provide a lesson about the nutrition of pomegranates and how to care for a pomegranate plant.
