Organic Freeze-Dried Pomegranate Powder by Navitas Naturals

Though most of the pomegranate’s mythological roots (often seen as a symbol of fertility and prosperity) cannot be proven, recent attention from scientific communities solidifies the fruit’s health benefits are far from myth. Pomegranate contains a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, with especially notable amounts of vitamin C and potassium. It is also a powerful source of antioxidant phytoestrogens, polyphenols, and anti-inflammatory essential amino acids. Among the most important effects of this beneficial nutrient collection is the ability to inhibit free radicals (a biological component attributed to disease and aging). Remarkably, polyphenols may inhibit estrogen synthesis, and the oil from the pomegranate seed has been proven effective against the proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro.

But there’s more. Pomegranate’s contribution to cardiovascular health has also been widely celebrated. In preliminary laboratory research and human pilot studies, juice of the pomegranate was shown effective in reducing heart disease risk factors: including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation (important components of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease). Pomegranate juice has also been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure (inhibiting the serum angiotensin-converting enzyme), may inhibit viral infections, and can also have antibacterial effects against dental plaque.

With the high levels of ongoing research, exploration of the pomegranate’s exciting health benefits have only just begun. Needless to say, including pomegranate in the diet serves as a powerful tool for disease prevention.

Though Navitas Naturals Pomegranate Powder is a superfood warrior health-wise, its fruity flavor is much more mild -- making it easy to incorporate into recipes. This pomegranate powder isn't just the pulp - it contains the entire freeze-dried pomegranat, so you're getting the best of the entire fruit in each serving. Just a spoonful or two is a great dietary addition stirred into juice or tea, or blended into a smoothie. Undiluted, Pomegranate Powder is also excellent when mixed into desserts - like chocolate pudding or truffles - and serves as a smart superfood addition to homemade energy bars.
