Active Compounds
- Polyphenols (punicalagins, ellagic acid) – from pomegranate; strong antioxidants supporting cardiovascular and cellular health
- Vitamin C – primarily from sea buckthorn; supports immune defense and collagen synthesis
- Carotenoids (β-carotene, lycopene) – protect cells from oxidative stress and support skin health
- Gingerols and shogaols – bioactive compounds in ginger with anti-inflammatory and digestive effects
- Flavonoids and phenolic acids – contribute to vascular protection and antioxidant synergy
- Organic acids – support digestion and metabolic balance
Scientifically Supported Health Benefits
1. Antioxidant protection
Punica granatum, Hippophae rhamnoides, and Zingiber officinale are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids that help protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
2. Immune system support
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is naturally high in vitamin C and bioactive compounds that contribute to normal immune function, especially during periods of increased physical or environmental stress.
3. Anti-inflammatory activity
Bioactive compounds in ginger (Zingiber officinale), such as gingerols and shogaols, have been shown to modulate inflammatory pathways and reduce low-grade inflammation.
4. Cardiovascular and vascular health
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) polyphenols are associated with improved endothelial function, protection of blood lipids from oxidation, and support of healthy circulation.
5. Digestive comfort and metabolic balance
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has traditionally been used to stimulate digestion and gastric motility, while organic acids and plant compounds support overall metabolic balance.
6. Skin and connective tissue support
Vitamin C and carotenoids from sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) play a role in collagen synthesis and protection of skin cells from oxidative damage.
7. Support during physical and mental stress
The combined bioactive profiles of pomegranate, sea buckthorn, and ginger are associated with improved resilience to physical strain and oxidative stress, supporting overall vitality.
