The fruit of pomegranate is famous for its deliciousness and juiciness, which is high in polyphenols and also rich in vitamins and polysaccharides. What are the effects of pomegranate polyphenols? This article will introduce in detail

1. Healthy hair

Pomegranate polyphenols are also great for hair health. A 60-day randomized human clinical trial involving 20 subjects showed that taking pomegranate polyphenols for 30 days can significantly improve human hair density and speed up the hair growth rate. The improvement after 60 days is more significant than 30 days improvement. This effect is especially suitable for young and middle-aged groups with increasingly profound hair loss, providing them with a new improvement path.

2. Skin Health

Pomegranate polyphenols have been shown in many pieces of literature to have cosmetic effects such as moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, whitening, and freckle removal, which may be related to its ability to inhibit UV damage to the skin.

3. Improve mood

Test subjects' salivary cortisol levels measured the mood-boosting effects of pomegranate polyphenols. High salivary cortisol levels are dangerous to health, leading to weight gain and increased depression. It also affects people's short-term memory. Taking pomegranate polyphenols can significantly reduce human salivary cortisol levels improve mood and some chronic disease indicators, thereby improving the overall quality of life.

4. Gut Health

In a 28-day study on the effects of pomegranate polyphenols on the gut health of 6 healthy people aged 28-53, it was shown that the numbers of two beneficial gut bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, were significantly increased. The number of Clostridium perfringens, a pathogenic bacteria, was reduced considerably, and the regularity of defecation became better.

The maturity of pomegranate is seasonal, but given the excellent efficacy of various parts of pomegranate, it is expected that the development of comprehensive industries will bring more health care substances to people.
