  1. Ellagic Acid Strong antioxidant with some potential for anti-cancer activity … Ellagic acid is a natural phenol compound found in a number of different fruits and vegetables. It has been shown to have strong antioxidant and natural anti-proliferative activities. The highest levels of ellagic acids are found in pomegranates, raspberries, and strawberries. Antioxidant Ellagic acid is a strong antioxidant that can help to protect the body’s cells against free radical damage. For more information on antioxidants, please click here. Some scientists and health professionals believe that antioxidants may play a role in the treatment of a variety of 'silent inflammatory' processes, like those involved in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Ellagic Acid – Anti-Cancer One of the major active constituents in pomegranate juice is called ellagic acid, which is a natural phenol compound. It acts as a strong antioxidant and has been considered a cancer-fighting agent. Ellagic acid has the ability to directly prevent the binding of carcinogenic compounds with cellular DNA in a test tube. This is the mechanism by which ellagic acid has been thought to help prevent cancer growth. Further research is required before we can be sure of these effects. Bioavailability When it binds to a carbohydrate, ellagic acid forms ellagitannins that have been shown to be strong antioxidants in a test tube. Unfortunately, when these substances are ingested, bacteria in the digestive tract convert them into inactive byproducts. This has caused some doubt as to whether ellagic acid is actually able to have anti-cancer effects in the human body.
