Abstract

Fruits rich in polyphenols have been shown to have health benefits associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Ellagitannins (ET) and ellagic acid (EA) are polyphenols found in fruits and seeds. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a rich source of ET and is considered as a new therapeutic agent. A small number of clinical trials in humans have highlighted the positive effects of pomegranate juice and extract consumption on cardiovascular health. It could be used as a future therapeutic agent towards hypertension, heart disease, Alzheimer.
