07-SEPTEMBER-2008 03:17:44 - Punicalagins Punicalagins are tannins, large polyphenol compound which are isomers of 2,3-S-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-4,6-S,S-gallagyl-D-glucose, hydrolysable tannins with a molecular weight of 1084. Punicalagins are the largest molecule found intact in rat plasma after oral ingestion1 and were found to show no toxic effects in rats who were given a 6% diet of punicalagins for 37 days2. Punicalagins are also found to be the major component responsible for pomegranate juice's antioxidant and health benefits3. Punicalagins are known to hydrolyze into smaller polyphenols such as ellagic acid in vivo where one potential mechanism is hydrolysis across the mitochondrial membrane of cultured human colon cells.4.5 A few dietary supplements and nutritional ingredients are available that contain extracts of whole pomegranate and/or are standardized to punicalagins, the marker compound of pomegranate. Extracts of pomegranate are also 'Generally Recognized As Safe' GRAS by the United States. It has been recommended to look for pomegranate ingredients that mimic the polyphenol ratio of the fruit, as potent synergistic effects have been observed in 'natural spectrum' extracts, especially pomegranate concentrate normalized to punicalagins6. A pomegranate extract standardized to punicalagins marketed under the name Pomella was found to absorb into the bloodstream after consumption in humans. A maximum 32% increase in plasma antioxidant status measured by ORAC was also noted in this study7. References ^ Cerda et al. Eur J Nutr. 2003 Jan;421:18-28. ^ Cerda et al. J. Agric.
