Key Ingredients Found in Isotonix™ Pomegranate with Pomella®:
Pomegranate Extract:
The pomegranate is an ancient fruit of Middle Eastern origin cultivated throughout Iran to the Himalayas in northern India. In 1769, the tree was introduced into the United States by Spanish settlers. The fruit consists of many close-packed, red grains (arils) and segments that are separated by nonedible white pith. The arils contain a seed surrounded by an edible juicy pulp, which represents 52 percent of the fruit's weight.
The pomegranate fruit can be eaten, however, most pomegranate is consumed as juice. The juice can be used in a variety of ways: as fresh juice, to make jellies, sorbets, cold or hot sauces, or as a flavoring to cakes, baked apples, etc. The juice can also be made into wine.
One pomegranate delivers a significant amount of an adult’s daily vitamin C requirement, and is a rich source of folic acid and antioxidants. Pomegranates are high in polyphenols, and pomegranate juice contains more polyphenols than red wine, blueberry, cranberry, green tea or orange juice. The most abundant polyphenols in pomegranate are hydrolysable tannins, particularly punicalagins, which research has shown to be the antioxidant responsible for the free radical-scavenging ability of pomegranate juice. Preliminary research suggests that pomegranate exerts cardioprotective activity through its antioxidant, anti-platelet, anti-inflammatory and nitric oxide-inducing properties.
Folic Acid:
Folic acid is mainly found in fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy greens, oranges, orange juice, beans and peas are the best sources, as well as Brewer’s yeast, which supply additional B vitamins. Folic acid plays a key role by boosting the benefits of B12 supplementation. These two B vitamins join forces and work together in maintaining normal red blood cells. Folic acid assists in the normal utilization of amino acids and proteins as well as supporting the production of DNA and RNA synthesis. Scientific studies have found that when working in tandem with folic acid, B12 is capable of regulating homocysteine levels. This regulation of homocysteine works toward supporting a healthy cardiovascular and nervous system.
Vitamin B6:
Poultry, fish, whole grains and bananas are the main dietary sources of B6. Vitamin B6 is a co-factor required for protein and amino acid metabolism. Vitamin B6 is required for hemoglobin synthesis and assists in the maintenance of healthy red and white blood cells. Vitamin B6, when taken with folic acid, assists in regulating homocysteine levels and maintaining endothelial cell function, which promotes optimal cardiovascular health. Vitamin B6 should be administered as a part of a complex with other B vitamins for best results.
Vitamin B12:
Vitamin B12 is formed naturally by microorganisms and is found in organ meats, liver, beef, pork, eggs, whole milk, cheese and fish. B12 can only be found in animal products and peanuts; therefore, it is essential for vegetarians to consume a vitamin B12 supplement to maintain optimal health. Vitamin B12, in combination with folic acid, has been shown to assist in regulating homocysteine levels and promoting cardiovascular health. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been associated with chronic fatigue, impaired cognitive function, hyperhomocysteinemia and pernicious anemia. Vitamin B12 itself is responsible for maintaining optimum energy levels, as it plays a vital role in the Krebs energy cycle. It is also a great anti-aging ingredient and increases concentration.

What Makes Isotonix™ Pomegranate with Pomella® Unique?
Most pomegranate products that exist in the market today are juices that are sweetened with sugar and artificial ingredients, which alter the taste and leads to the consumption of unnecessary calories. Market Australia’s Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella is the first of its kind to enter the market. Pomella is a clinically-researched, patent-pending ingredient derived from pomegranate, and standardised to punicalagins, potent antioxidants. Supported with full safety and clinical profiles, Pomella supports optimal cardiovascular and prostate health.
Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella provides a rich source of polyphenols with exceptional ORAC values and have been shown to exert cardioprotective activity through their antioxidant, anti-platelet, anti-inflammatory and nitric oxide-inducing properties. Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella also promotes cardiovascular health while maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella is the most effective and efficient way to deliver maximum results, giving you a healthy heart.
Frequently Asked Questions about Isotonix™ Pomegranate with Pomella® (FAQs):
What is an antioxidant?
The word antioxidant means “against oxidation.” Antioxidants work to protect lipids and other vital molecules from oxidation by free radicals. Antioxidants are effective because they can donate electrons to free radicals. When a free radical gains the electron from an antioxidant, it is considered stable and no longer can attack tissues or molecules in the body.
Where do free radicals come from?
Free radical damage caused by oxygen free radicals is created by the following: eating high fat foods, processed foods and food preservatives; ionising radiation (UV, gamma, X-rays); exercise, stress, pollution, chlorine in drinking water, and tobacco smoke. Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella contributes to the body's ability to counteract oxidation by increasing the levels of antioxidants in the bloodstream and protecting the other antioxidants that are acquired from our diets and restoring their full antioxidant activity in some cases.
I already take an antioxidant supplement with vitamins A, C and E. Is there an advantage in taking supplements in Isotonix™ form?
Yes. When you ingest food, beverages or most nutritional supplements, the stomach must secrete diluting juices, enzymes, hydrochloric acid and at least one vitamin-binding protein to begin the process of digestion. This process can take up to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the meal, and it requires both time and energy. The advantage of using Isotonix™ products are that they are delivered directly into the small intestine nutritionally concentrated. This maximises the opportunity for absorption of the nutrients across the cell membranes.
Isotonix™ products, such as the Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella, are usually taken on an empty stomach, which considerably shortens the transit time through the stomach. Since the transit time is shortened, it minimises the chance that vital micronutrients will be trapped in the stomach by fats, fibers and tannins, or even inactivated by a highly acidic pH level. Isotonix products flow into the small intestine, where they mix with pancreatic juices and sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH to neutral, and in so doing, maximises the potential uptake of nutrients.
What is the difference in taking an isotonic as compared to taking traditional tablets?
Isotonic solutions offer the fastest and most efficient delivery of all oral forms of supplementation. The nutrients in the Isotonix solutions are quickly and effectively absorbed into the bloodstream, and do not linger in the stomach causing gastrointestinal discomfort.
Is this product vegetarian friendly?
Yes. Isotonix Pomegranate with Pomella is a vegetarian product.
