Supercritical pomegranate seed oil

Pomegranate Seed Oil is a unique source of puninic acid, a conjugated linolenic acid CLNA of the 9c,11t,13c C18:3n5 configuration. Puninic acid has a similar efficacy profile as the better known conjugated linoleic acid CLA.

Accordingly the pomegranate seed oil with up to 70percent CLNA content is normalising the lipid metabolism in case of obese and hyperlipidemic conditions. This means not only body fat reduction but probably cardiovascular protection and the oil is even described in literature to have anti-cancer property.

Apart from the internal use pomegranate seed oil proves to be equally useful in topic cosmetic application. It has attracted considerable attention by stimulating ceratinocyte proliferation and promoting regeneration of the epidermis as well as by decreasing the incidence of skin cancer formation. Hence the oil helps repair and rejuvenate the skin. It is recommended for dry, sensitive and damaged skin, improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles and preventing premature skin aging.

Flavex offers a high grade supercritical pomegranate seed oil obtained under gentle conditions, exclusion of oxygen and without the need of refinement, free of solvent residues and additives.
