Laboratory investigations demonstrate that pomegranates are chockfull of vitamin C, cyanins, lycopene, and ellagic acid. Ellagic acid augments the body’s built-in supply of glutathione. Glutathione is an anti-oxidant which shields the DNA from harm and also helps reprocess estrogen, which protects skin cells. In addition, the anti-oxidant inhibits certain enzymes in ways that give cells time to divide normally.
