My elixir of life
Pomegranate for Heart, Brain and Prostate
In scientific studies pomegranate juice has demonstrated remarkable health effects in humans, especially regarding the heart, brain and prostate. The special phytochemicals of the pomegranate, called “polyphenols”, account for these valuable health effects. They balance the immune system and strengthen the antioxidant protective systems of humans.
Dr. Jacob’s ® Pomegranate Elixir
Six years ago the first pomegranate product rich in active phytochemicals was brought onto the market in Germany: the pomegranate elixir of Dr. Jacob’s Medical.
Well known as a paradisiacal elixir of life is unique to this day. Especially gentle production procedures and the live fermentation provide for a high concentration and bioactivity of the antioxidant protective substances. Development, production and fermentation are carried out in Germany.
Each bottle of Dr. Jacob’s pomegranate elixir contains the juice and pulp of about 50 sun-ripened pomegranates – freshly pressed, gently concentrated and enriched with bioactive, live fermented pomegranate antioxidants.
1 liter of Dr. Jacob’s pomegranate elixir contains on average as many of these polyphenol antioxidants as 36 liters of fresh pomegranate juice or 21 liters of concentrated pomegranate juice concentrate.
- Patented: With live fermentation according to Dr. Jacob´s EC-Patent
- Practical: 50 servings for 25 to 50 days pure or mixed with drinks or food.
- Paradisical: Healthy and tasty
- Paradisiacal: Thanks to the extremely high concentration of phytochemicals it is more cost-effective than pomegranate juices.
- More safety: certified and controlled BIO in quality and content
A high quality is ensured by regular tests of polyphenolic content, antioxidant capacity as well as very stringent residue checks for pesticides. Therefore the Öko-Control certificate was awarded.
Ingredients: pomegranate (97% juice and pulp concentrate; partly live fermented), natural flavor (vanilla extract), pectin, spices (0.1%).
