POMEGRANATE- A FRUIT AFTER YOUR HEART

The pomegranate tree, said to have blossomed in the garden of Eden, is used extensively as traditional medicine in many cultures. Pomegranate is a source of some very potent antioxidants (tannins, anthocyanins) which are also considered to be potent anti-atherogenic agents, which means they can help against the hardening of arteries with plaque build-up. Pomegranate is superior in comparison to other antioxidants in protecting low-density lipoprotein (LDL, “the bad cholesterol”) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL, “the good cholesterol”) from oxidation. This results in the slowdown of plaque build-up thus slowing down subsequent cardiovascular risks. The antioxidants in pomegranate are not free, but are attached to the pomegranate sugars, and hence were shown to be beneficial even in diabetic patients. Moreover, the antioxidants in pomegranate were shown to beneficially lower blood pressure. All the above characteristics make the pomegranate a uniquely healthy fruit.

Researchers tested the effects of pomegranate juice on samples of human cells that line blood vessels, which were exposed to excessive physical stress, such as might occur with high blood pressure. Cells treated with pomegranate juice had less evidence of damage from the stress. Moreover, tests on mice showed that pomegranate juice significantly slowed hardening of the arteries that developed from high cholesterol. The tests revealed that pomegranate juice reduced the effects of stress on human blood vessel cells by stimulating nitric oxide. This chemical is thought to help keep arteries open and keep blood flowing. The study revealed that the antioxidant level in pomegranate juice was higher than that found in other fruit juices, including blueberry, cranberry, orange, and even red wine.

While pomegranate as a fruit has multiple health benefits, the real source of antioxidants are the hydrolysable tannins, especially the ellagitannins. The ellagitannins are not only water soluble but also the major contributors of antioxidant properties that give the fruit its health benefits. Here is where taking a supplement can be favourable. Cardio Protect from Curegarden is a pure and extremely powerful antioxidant that naturally improves cardiovascular health and helps preserve cardiovascular well-being. You can consume this even if you have no apparent heart problems as a preventive measure. It naturally protects the health of the heart by assisting in reversing arterial wall thickening, supporting healthy blood flow, and maintaining normal blood pressure. What makes Cardio Protect exceptional is the fact that it is composed of Curegarden’s unique pomegranate extract which has been standardized to contain the 100% absorbable ellagitannins. As a result, the product has a high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value, which is a measure of the antioxidant capacity of a sample. 

Below are the proven health benefits of Curegarden’s Cardio Protect :

• Promotes antioxidant health of the heart and helps fight cell-damaging free radicals
• Helps in slowing down progression of arterial plaque buildup and, in certain cases, may even reverse it
• Helps in reducing blood pressure by reducing stress-induced vasoconstriction (narrowing) of the blood vessels
• Helps in preventing the oxidative destruction of nitric oxide, ensuring its availability for its essential vessel-protective functions.
