Description
A premium Pomegranate extract standardized to punicalagin content rather than to ellagic acid. Punicalagin is the principal ellagitannin in the fruit and the marker compound used in much of the published clinical research, making this the preferred grade for clinically-positioned supplement and nutricosmetic applications.
Reddish-brown to dark brown free-flowing powder. Highly water-soluble.
We supply food-grade Pomegranate Punicalagin Standardized Extract from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include 30 percent Punicalagins (the workhorse clinical-positioning grade matching POMx-equivalent specifications), 40 percent Punicalagins (premium grade), and 50 percent Punicalagins (high-end concentrated grade typically supplied with matched ellagic acid).
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering punicalagin alpha and beta isomers (HPLC), ellagic acid content, total polyphenols, residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbiology.
Introduction
Punicalagin is among the largest molecular-weight polyphenols found in any common food, with the molecule consisting of a glucose core esterified with gallic and ellagic acid residues. The compound is the principal source of the astringent taste in Pomegranate juice.
Industrial production proceeds by selective ethanol or hydroalcoholic extraction of Pomegranate peels, followed by chromatographic purification specifically targeting punicalagin enrichment.
The compound is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to ellagic acid, which is then converted by colonic microbiota to urolithins A and B. These urolithin metabolites are the principal bioactive forms reaching peripheral tissues and account for most of the observed biological activity in human cells.
Strategic positioning targets the clinically-supported premium antioxidant supplement segment specifically, where the punicalagin specification supports claims aligned with the published research literature.
