From being a source of vitamin C to having antioxidant properties, pomegranate is the trendy super fruit, increasingly known for its benefits. In fact, its list of beneficial properties is endless: rich in vitamins B1, B2, and C; contains iron, manganese, calcium and beta carotene; it is good for intestinal transit and, however, also antidiarrheal; it is hypocaloric and low in sugars, indicated for diabetics; prevents prostate cancer; promotes health during menopause and is a powerful anti-aging detox.
But not only that, according to a study carried out by the Yeditepe University Faculty of Medicine in Istanbul (Turkey), pomegranate can also help cure the coronavirus. In fact, as stated by the professor of phytotherapy, Dr. Erdrem Yesilada, pills containing pomegranate peel extract have the effective ability to destroy coronavirus-infected cells, while healthy cells remain unaffected.
For such an affirmation, a clinical study has been carried out with patients positive for Covid-19 diagnosed in Italy throughout 2020, and in the three days after, a decrease in Covid-19 could be perceived in their bodies by 91 %. In other words, 9 out of 10 coronavirus patients saw the disease decrease thanks to the consumption of pomegranate.
“While the vaccine can protect us by reinforcing the immune system, pills with pomegranate peel extract are a form of protection, hindering the advance of the virus in our body,” say sources from AlchemLife Laboratories, which currently markets Phytorelief® , specially designed to protect the health of the respiratory tract and the immune system. Phytorelief® natural extracts and the latest technology come together for effective protection. It is composed of standardized extracts of TurmericG311, GranadaG331 and GingerG32.
