What is the difference between products containing "Ellagic Acid" and those containing "Ellagitannin Complex"?
a.) Products containing Ellagic Acid are synthesized, while;
b.) Products that contain the whole Ellagitannin Complex provide Ellagic Acid in its natural form.
Did You Know ...
When you eat certain berries, fruits and nuts, your body converts the Ellagitannins they produce into Ellagic Acid much in the same way your body converts Beta-Carotene into Vitamin A. When you take Beta-Carotene you get the full benefit of Vitamin A, however, the synthetic form of Vitamin A poses potential health risks. The same is true for Ellagic Acid.
Several Ellagic Acid websites refer to a study which was done by Dr. Daniel Nixon at the Hollings Cancer Institute between 1994 and 1996. In this study Dr. Nixon showed that consuming one cup of Meeker Red Raspberries per day (equaling 40 mg. of Ellagitannin Complex) prevented the development of cancer cells. In smaller amounts the red raspberries slowed the growth of cancer cells and in higher amounts the Red Raspberries actually caused cancer cells to die.
Because this published study focused on the "Ellagic Acid" content resulting from eating red raspberries, several companies quickly adopted an inexpensive synthesized form of Ellagic Acid. Keep in mind that Dr. Nixon's research was done using whole, organically-grown Meeker Red Raspberries containing the whole Ellagitannin Complex. He DID NOT use the Seeds or Leaves. Most companies do not offer Ellagitannin Complex from fresh red raspberries because it is very expensive to produce.
STEER CLEAR OF PRODUCTS that claim to have the "Strongest", "Finest" and "Highest" amounts of raspberry concentrate yet they do not provide you with the amount of Ellagitannin Complex you get from their "1,000mg" raspberry products. Most 1,000mg extracts have virtually NO Ellagic Acid or Ellagitannin Complex in them!
VitaPurity uses the most expensive organically-grown, whole Meeker Red Raspberry standardized extract, a 4% extract providing a whopping 40mg of Ellagitannin Complex per two capsule (1,000mg) serving. Remember, if a company does not provide you with supplement facts you can bet they are using poor quality materials. FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR HEALTH, STEER CLEAR OF THEM.

VitaPurity is concerned that Ellagic Acid websites are misleading consumers by suggesting that their products will offer the same results as those found in the Hollings Cancer Institute study. Remember, Dr. Nixon DID NOT USE raspberry leaves, "raspberry seed concentrate" or synthetic Ellagic Acid supplements in his study, HE DID USE whole, organically-grown Meeker Red Raspberries containing the entire Ellagitannin Complex.
And, don't forget, in nature raspberry seeds pass through your body without ever being absorbed, and, if not processed properly, the raspberry leaves can develop harmful toxins. So, be careful to carefully read product labels ... ALWAYS!
The closest we can come to matching the results of the Hollings Cancer Institute study, without eating a full cup of red raspberries every day, is to take a nutritional supplement made from the whole, organically-grown Meeker Red Raspberry fruit which most closely resembles the raspberry in its fresh and natural form. We believe we have created such a supplement in VitaPurity Ellagic Ultra.
VitaPurity reviewed and documented over 140 scientific and medical studies, including the Hollings Cancer Institute results, before creating VitaPurity Ellagic Ultra.
VITAPURITY VIGOROUSLY OPPOSES THE USE OF SYNTHETIC, ARTIFICIAL OR IMITATION SUBSTANCES IN THE MANUFACTURING OF HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS.
Remember, Ellagic Acid does not occur naturally. Look for supplements containing the whole Ellagitannin Complex. VitaPurity recommends that you carefully read the labels and/or any documentation associated with Ellagic Acid products to determine whether they come from natural (Ellagitannin) or synthesized (Ellagic Acid) origins.
NOTE: VitaPurity Ellagic UltraTM capsules are ALL-NATURAL and made from 100% pure Organically-Grown, Whole Meeker Red Raspberries.
VitaPurity DOES NOT Use Synthetics.
