What is Ellagic Acid?
Ellagic Acid is a nutraceutical, naturally occurring phenolic compound that has very effective and potent anti-oxidant properties. This compound is especially concentrated in raspberries, grapes, and nuts. It is also present in strawberries, pomegranates, and cranberries. Several studies have found that it may possess cancer-fighting potential, making it a potent anti-carcinogen. Ellagic Acid has the ability to prevent mutations within a cell's DNA. Studies suggest it inhibits the growth of tumors and actually triggers cell death in cancer, making it an anti-cancer inhibitor, which is adept in causing apoptosis or normal death in cancer cells. In addition, studies discovered it has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.Healthy cells have a normal life cycle. This process ends with what is called apoptosis (normal cell death). The body replenishes these dying cells with new and healthy ones; however, the same is not true for cancer cells, since such cells do not have a normal life cycle and die. They quickly multiply exponentially by cell division (mitosis), making 2 cancer cells, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on. Chemotherapy, radiation and most conventional treatments are notorious for indiscriminately causing the death of both cancer and healthy cells, possibly destroying the immune system in the treatment process. Ellagic Acid on the other hand caused the cancer cells to go through a normal apoptosis process without damaging or affecting the healthy cells in any way, as shown in laboratory and recent clinical studies.
Ellagic acid seems to be a good preventative, but it’s not the best tumor remover. Therefore, it would work best as a good addition to a cancer regimen, rather than being a stand alone treatment. Technology alone cannot prevent debilitating diseases, restore health, or rejuvenate the human body as much as we would want to. To treat or prevent disease conditions, there is a proven approach based on sound science and common sense. This approach is through nutrition. Unhealthy lifestyles stemming from poor diet, smoking, sun exposure, and excessive alcohol consumption, combined with lack of exercise, is a potent cancer and disease-inducing combination. If the body is supplied the correct nutrients, such as Ellagic Acid, those nutrients will nourish, balance, protect, and provide the body with the tools necessary for growth, repair, vitality, and longevity.
What is Ellagic Acid used for and who uses it?
Daily consumption of Ellagic Acid activates powerful detoxifying enzymes in the liver, which in turn promotes the cleansing of the liver and the protection and regeneration of injured liver cells. It also prevents the binding of carcinogens to the DNA of cells, and inhibits or destroys oxygen free radicals by serving as a powerful antioxidant. Ellagic Acid may cause already established cancer cells to undergo programmed normal cell death (apoptosis) by stimulating the immune system to destroy cancerous cells. It may also be useful in reducing the incidence of birth defects, in slowing down the aging process and the spread of the HIV virus in the body, in preventing periodontal disease and diabetic retinopathy, and in promoting wound healing. It can also be used to help prevent heart disease because of the presence of a natural form of aspirin called salicylate.Ellagic acid acts as a collector to "bind" cancer-causing chemicals, rendering them inactive. It averts the ability of other substances or compounds to cause mutations in bacteria. Ellagic acid is also a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, and anticancer initiator used in alternative medicine to prevent cancer. Among the pioneer published research on ellagic acid started in the 1970's and 80's, with the first studies beginning in 1993. These years of extensive studies have yielded in a dietary supplement that is safe, inexpensive, and free of adverse side effects. Nine years of research have demonstrated that a natural product called ellagic acid is causing G-arrest within 48 hours (inhibiting and stopping mitosis-cancer cell division), and apoptosis (normal cell death) within 72 hours, for breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancer cells.
Ellagic Acid supplementation during chemotherapy cancer treatment has been proven in at least one recent study by Italian researchers to significantly 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 did not find enough evidence to conclude that Ellagic Acid was able to significantly slow the progression of the disease or improve survival.

If all you want are the health benefits made possible with Ellagic Acid, buying this product in bulk is the best way to get there. Buying in bulk is also your best bet for saving money because for sure you’ll pay more at a local nutrition store. Bulk costs are cheaper in the long run and you will receive a great deal at or below wholesale prices for a high purity bulk quantity of this product.What is the daily suggested dose of Ellagic Acid?
The typically recommended doses for Ellagic Acid range from as little as 25 milligrams two or three times per day to as much as 500 milligrams two times per day. Based on this, the total ranges for daily dose of Ellagic Acid yields to 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. You can see the full bulk density/volumetric conversion chart for Ellagic Acid here. 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.Potential side effects of Ellagic Acid
Ellagic acid for the most part is free of harmful side effects. However, an increase in blood pressure for some patients has been noticed. 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.Ellagic Acid is used in the following Proprietary Formulas
Ellagic Acid Advanced from HTN, EllagiMax from Advantage Nutraceuticals, Red Raspberry Extract from Ellagic Defense, Ellagic Ultra from Vitapurity, Ellagic Defense from Pure Prescriptions, Century Plus from For MorReferences & Further Research
In vitro antiproliferative, apoptotic and antioxidant activities of punicalagin, ellagic acid and a total pomegranate tannin extract are enhanced in combination with other polyphenols as found in pomegranate juicePomegranate fruits are widely consumed as juice, and its antioxidant and anti-atherosclerotic activities are attributed to ellagitannin and ellagic acid. Ellagic acid, totol pomegranate tannin and punicalagin but not pomegranate juice could induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells HCT116. However, pomegranate juice had a better antioxidant activity than ellagic acid.
Enhancement of radiation-induced oxidative stress and cytotoxicity in tumor cells by ellagic acid
Combined treatment of tumor with ellagic acid and radiation enhances oxidative stress and cytotoxicity in tumor cells in a study of mice. Ellagic acid generated ROS in tumor cells, which increased, by an order of magnitude when cells were treated with ellagic acid in combination with gamma radiation. Ellagic acid protects normal cells against radiation damage.
