- Acts as a modulator for inflammation and immune function, promoting or inhibiting as needed for the situation – restoring balance.
- Protects against misfolded protein conditions (prions).
- Promotes Nrf2 which helps promote DNA damage repair, glutathione production, and immune function.
- Pomegranate contains potent antioxidants in addition to promoting Nrf2 and our own glutathione production.
- Protects against liver, kidney, and brain damage risks from hyperinflammation.
- Improves gut health, membrane and cardiovascular health; and promotes a beneficial microbiome balance of butyrate producing species.
