Overview
Harnessing the power of pomegranate
Ellagic Acid is a naturally occurring polyphenol found abundantly in Punica granatum (pomegranate) and is well recognised for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cell-protective properties1-2.
By combining Ellagic Acid with advanced phospholipid delivery technology, EA-MPowerTM ensures that this valuable phytonutrient reaches target tissues more effectively than conventional extracts.
Why EA-MPower™
Key Features
- High-purity Ellagic Acid standardised for consistent potency3
- Phospholipid-bound complex for enhanced bioavailability4
- Dual solubility – suitable for both lipid- and water-based formulations
- Sustainably sourced pomegranate fruit with traceable origin
- Backed by scientific evidence for multiple health benefits
Although Ellagic Acid offers significant health benefits, it has poor natural bioavailability due to low solubility and rapid metabolism5. EA-MPowerTM overcomes this limitation through a proprietary phospholipid complex, which:
- Facilitates absorption across intestinal membranes
- Protects the active compound from premature degradation
- Improves systemic circulation and tissue delivery
- Enhances stability in finished formulations
This means consumers can enjoy more consistent and clinically relevant results from a lower dosage.
Health Benefits Supported by Science
Extensive research on Ellagic Acid has demonstrated its role in supporting multiple areas of health:
- Antioxidant protection: Neutralises free radicals and protects against oxidative stress1,6
- Anti-inflammatory activity: Modulates inflammatory pathways and cytokine expression7
- Cellular protection: May help protect DNA from oxidative damage and support normal cell cycle regulation8
- Cardiovascular health: Supports endothelial function and healthy lipid metabolism9
- Skin health: Helps maintain skin elasticity and protect against UV-induced damage10
- Gut microbiome benefits: Promotes beneficial urolithin production through intestinal metabolism11
Applications
EA-MPowerTM is ideal for use in:
- Nutraceutical supplements (capsules, tablets, powders)
- Functional foods and beverages
- Anti-ageing and beauty-from-within products
- Cardiovascular and metabolic health formulas
- Sports and recovery nutrition
Regulatory & Quality Assurance
