The molecule behind pomegranate's deep red.
That jewel-red color is punicalagin — one of the largest, most powerful polyphenol antioxidants in the plant world. Here's what it does, and why juice can't match an extract.

From fruit to active compound
Pomegranate's power isn't just the polyphenols you swallow — it's what your body converts them into.
Punicalagins
Pomegranate's signature polyphenols — unusually large antioxidant molecules.
Converted to urolithins
Your gut microbiome transforms them into urolithins, the active forms your body uses.
Antioxidant defense
These compounds help defend cells against everyday oxidative stress.
Whole-body support
The payoff is support for steady energy, comfort, and overall balance.
Illustrative comparison of concentration per serving. Not specific product data; formulations vary.
Why an extract, not juice
Pomegranate juice carries a lot of sugar and comparatively few concentrated polyphenols per serving. A standardized extract flips that ratio — the actives without the sugar load. This chart illustrates the contrast.
What the research shows
Pomegranate is one of the most-studied fruits in nutrition science. Here's the readable summary.
A polyphenol powerhouse
Pomegranate is one of the most polyphenol-rich fruits studied, led by punicalagins and ellagic acid.*
Active in the body
Gut conversion to urolithins is an area of active research into how pomegranate supports cellular health.*
Supports steady energy
By supporting antioxidant defenses, pomegranate helps support natural energy and everyday comfort.*
700mg, one ingredient
A concentrated 700mg extract per serving — no sugar spike, no fillers, no guesswork.
