Pomegranate Seed Oil 600 mg

Together, the pomegranate fruit extract and supercritical CO₂ seed oil contain polyphenols, conjugated linolenic acid, punicic acid, and phytosterols. By including both extracts, Pomegranate Seed Oil provides a more complete range of supportive compounds—more than you could likely get from juice alone. In fact, pomegranate fruit and seed oil extracts show some of the strongest support for breast and prostate cellular health.*

Because these extracts are so concentrated, they are able to focus the powerful benefits of pomegranate into a much smaller package. Plus, the seed oil extract contains punicic acid, which shows strong support of breast and prostate cell health. This compound may not be present in the same concentrated power in many juice products.*

When the most active and beneficial compounds of a plant have been identified and isolated for use in a dietary supplement or food, that product is called an “extract.” There are a number of different ways to remove these desirable compounds from the plant. Water and alcohol are two of the most well-known and commonly used materials (technically known as “solvents”). In fact, a tea bag in hot water is an example of a water extraction that almost everyone has at some time prepared for themselves. Supercritical CO₂, meaning carbon dioxide in a liquid form, is a special type of non-toxic solvent that is particularly good for extracting essential oils without damaging them or causing them to become rancid through oxidation. Supercritical CO₂ extraction is the preferred method for obtaining a full spectrum essential oil extract, discarding the non-essential fibrous plant material. This process is a cold extraction that uses no heat. Supercritical CO₂ yields a very pure extract, with no heavy metals or potential for bacterial growth. Because it evaporates completely there is also no concern about contamination or residue left in the extracted materials.
