Serious Cellular Support...and More!

Ellagic acid is a phenolic (antioxidant) compound found in many fruits. Studies have shown the highest concentrations these condensed tannins (ellagitannin) are found in meeker red raspberries.

It is comprised of powerful antioxidants that have been shown to support many positive functions of cellular activity. Clinical studies are also showing ellagic acid may be a potent anti-carcinogenic/ anti-mutagenic compound and that it also may have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

Important Notice: As we will never mislead you, we make absolutely NO claims on ellagic acid for cancer treatment or prevention. Instead, we have findings listed for your convenience and education. We'll always encourage you to do more research!

The findings presented on this site have not been evaluated by Food and Drug Administration and are not approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition. As always, consult with your healthcare professional before starting any diet, medication or dietary supplement.

Unlike normal cells, cancerous cells do not die like healthy cells do. Instead, they regenerate exponentially until they become problematic to your body. Research has shown ellagic acid may promote the natural (apoptic) death of these cells.

Studies show ellagic acid may act as a scavenger to "bind" cancer-causing chemicals, making them inactive and it may inhibit the ability of other chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. In addition, ellagic acid from red raspberries may prevent binding of carcinogens to DNA, and may reduce the incidence of cancer in cultured human cells exposed to carcinogens.

Hollings Cancer Institute Research

Although our company was not involved with these events and findings, research performed at the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina and other health organizations found that ellagic acid:

•  is one of the most promising chemopreventive compounds
•  has antioxidant, antibacterial, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antiviral and hepatoprotectant properties
•  provides protection against chromosomal damage produced by UV radiation
•  promotes apoptic growth (natural death) of cervical cancer cells
•  has similar effects on breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon, leukemia and prostate cancer cells
•  promotes wound healing

The Fruit Essentials® Ellagic Acid product delivers the same concentration used in this study = 450 ppm

Our Unique Processing Retains Nutrients

We manufacture Ellagic Acid Extract capsules using a proprietary cold-press method which preserves the bioavailability (ability to be used by the body) and concentration of ellagic acid and other phenolics from red raspberries.
