What is Ellagic Acid?

Purebulk's Ellagic Acid 90% Galla Chinensis is a pure extract of the Galla Chinensis plant and contains at least 90% ellagic acid.

Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic compound that has antioxidant properties. It is concentrated in raspberries, grapes, and nuts and is also present in strawberries, pomegranates and cranberries.

Antioxidants protect the body from free radical molecules that can damage cell membranes. Free radicals are a byproduct created as the body changes oxygen and food into energy.

Benefits of Ellagic Acid

Ellagic acid supports detoxifying enzymes in the liver, which in turn promote the cleansing of the liver and the protection of liver cells. It also inhibits oxygen free radicals that can damage cells.
