    Ellagic Acid is a Polyphenol Antioxidant that has been found in many fruits and vegitables including blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries and pomegranates, and as well as in nuts such as walnuts and pecans. Research studies conducted with cell cultures and lab animals have consistently shown that Ellagic Acid dietary supplementation may help prevent disease and significantly slow the growth of certain forms of tumors and cancers. While these studies may show promising results for the use of Ellagic Acid as an anti-cancer treatment for tumors and cancers, there are insufficient human studies and clinical evidence at this present time to conclude that Ellagic Acid can prevent or treat cancer in humans. However, professors Gary D Stoner and John M Cassady of Ohio State University filed for a United States patent application (10/951,413 on 28-Sep-2004 based upon research conducted on antioxidant extracts that included Ellagic Acid. These professors determined that Ellagic Acid and other antioxidant constituents of these extractions were therapeutically effective in preventing disease and particularly effective in slowing and reducing the growth of malignant growths (e.g. cancers) with oral administration of these plant extracts. According to these professors, the malignancies effectively treated were various metastatic digestive tract cancers that included oral cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer.

    Additional claims by professors Gary D Stoner and John M Cassady included the use of these extracts for the prevention and treatment of various other diseases and disorders associated with oxidative damage such as skin cancer, cardiovascular disease (e.g., due to high cholesterol, i.e., hypercholesterolemia), neurodegenerative disease (e.g, stroke), immunological diseases or conditions, inflammatory diseases or conditions such as arthritis, dermatological conditions and ophthalmological conditions. These researchers also concluded that the administration of these antioxidative extracts could be used to slow normal aging processes (e.g., extend the life span, or life extension) and enhance the quality of life and general health of the elderly. Professor Gary D Stoner in association with the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center produced a video lecture dated 21-Mar-2007 (run time 01:14:09) about Ellagic Acid entitled A Food-Based Approach to the Prevention of Gastrointestinal Tract Cancers (you must have RealPlayer installed on your computer to watch this video).

    Ellagic Acid has also been shown to reduce heart disease, birth defects, liver problems and to promote wound healing. In a study published by the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, June 2004 (see: Aviram M, Rosenblat M., Gaitini D, et al. Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation. Clinical Nutrition 2004 June;23(3):423-33.) demonstrated the clearing of plaque from the carotid artery after three years of supplementation with pomegranate juice (high in Ellagic Acid).

    Ellagic Acid supplementation during chemotherapy cancer treatment has been shown in at least one recent study by Italian researchers to markedly reduce side effects among a group of men suffering from advanced prostate cancer (see: Falsaperla M, Morgia G, Tartarone A, Ardito R, Romano G. Support Ellagic Acid therapy in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) on standard chemotherapy using vinorelbine and estramustine phosphate. Eur Urol. 2005; 47:449-454.). While effective in reducing the side effects of chemotherapy, this research study was unable to conclude that Ellagic Acid was able to slow the progression of the disease or improve survival.

    Recomended dose: The typically recommended doses for Ellagic Acid range from as litle as 25 milligrams two or three times per day to as much as 500 milligrams two times per day. The total range for daily dose of Ellagic Acid typically vary from as little as 50 milligrams to as much as 1 gram (1000 milligrams, or 1000mg). As a pure bulk powder super anti-oxidant one level 1/4 teaspoon of Ellagic Acid 92.34% will provide approximately 565 milligrams (565mg) essential Ellagic Acid. Taking one level 1/4 teaspoon of this pure bulk Ellagic Acid powder will net two times 565 milligrams or approximately 1130 milligrams per day.

    Side effects, complications, allergic reactions or symptoms of Ellagic Acid supplementation and overuse are rare but can include gastric upset, nausea and/or diarrhea. If you suffer from these side effects following your use of Ellagic Acid you should consider cutting back on your dose amount. If your symptoms persist you should consider stopping your Ellagic Acid supplementation and contact your physician.
