The above study did not mention pomegranate as a source of catechins, but it is rich in these important substances as well as many other important nutrients. A recent article recommends pomegranate as a dietary supplement "for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases." In addition to a wide range of cardiovascular benefits, the article also notes that pomegranate has antimicrobial, anti-cancer, and antioxidant benefits. NeoLife Tre is a 20-fold concentrate of pomegranate punicalagins in addition to the benefits of compounds from berries and tea. Here is a quote from a recent article on pomegranate compounds:
"Pomegranate,
an ancient and highly distinctive fruit, is a rich source of natural
bioactive constituents. Various studies showed that pomegranate and its
products exhibit protective effects on the cardiovascular system. These
vasculoprotective effects include diminishing of oxidative stress,
positive influencing macrophage-, endothelial cell-, and platelet
function, lowering lipid oxidation, reducing blood glucose levels,
vasodilatory effects as well as decreasing blood pressure via an
inhibition of ACE activity. In light of the altogether promising outcome
of numerous pre-clinical and clinical studies, pomegranate is advocated
to be used as a dietary supplement for prevention and treatment of
cardiovascular diseases, thus representing a supplementary
non-pharmacological therapy for cardiovascular diseases.
