Product Background
You need only one thing for flawless skin, excellent memory, and other health benefits, a pomegranate (Punica granatum). This is a fruit-bearing shrub that belongs to the Lythraceae family and is mostly cultivated in the Mediterranean region. Mainly, it grows to a height of up to 20-30 feet, with lance-shaped leaves, and it produces a red fruit (pomegranate fruit) that is approximately 2.5 inches wide.

Traditionally, the pomegranate was utilized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The dried fruit and pulp were commonly used to treat various conditions such as stomach upsets, diarrhea, bronchitis, and hemorrhaging.
