The Many Benefits of Pomegranate with Andrea Zangara
Welcome to another fascinating episode of the NatureCity Podcast!...
Many fruit and vegetable blends contain a long list of impressive sounding extracts, but what can they actually do for you? Is the amount of the individual ingredients enough to provide benefits? In most cases, the answer is no, or it’s not specified or supported with data.
TrueBerry7 was carefully formulated to include fruit ingredients with documented research evidence indicating how they may help you. As important, TrueBerry7 gives you the amounts of these ingredients shown to be beneficial.
One of the most important types of phytonutrients we get from fruits (and vegetables) is polyphenols. Higher intake of polyphenols has been linked to longevity and better health as we age.
Berries have one of the highest concentrations of polyphenols of all food types. The 7 super fruits in TrueBerry7 give you a broad range of unique polyphenols, which matters because different polyphenols support different functions in the body. Better yet, you get this additional nutritional power without any of the sugar in fruit.
Many similar products lump a long list of ingredients together in what’s called a “Proprietary Blend.” Most often, this means that the brand is hiding something from you – like giving you very little of the “good stuff” and filling the blend with cheaper less valuable ingredients.
TrueBerry7 clearly spells out the source and amount you get of each super fruit – and each of these ingredients has been shown to provide real benefits, there are no “fillers.”

View All ReviewsPomanox® P30 is made using the whole pomegranate to give you the full range of nutrients found in the fruit. The “P30” means the powder gives you a minimum of 30% of the powerful punicalagin polyphenols in every serving.
Pomanox® P30 is produced from pomegranates cultivated in Mediterranean regions of Spain through sustainable farming, under strict quality control and with green and eco-friendly methods.
Pomanox® P30 has been the subject of numerous scientific studies demonstrating many potential health and wellness benefits, some of which are summarized below:
Sicily, Italy is known for producing nutrient rich fruits and vegetables. This is due to a climate with large daily temperature fluctuations (hot days cold nights) and the very rich soil in the areas surrounding Mt. Etna, the main volcano in the Mediterranean region.
The grapes used to make CogniGrape® are grown at the base of Mt. Etna and offer a potent combination of beneficial polyphenols – called proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins – shown to support brain health.
CogniGrape® is believed to be the first grape extract shown to promote increased cognitive performance and better moods in healthy adults. In two placebo-controlled published research studies, it was found that supplementing with CogniGrape® for 12 weeks:
Coffee fruit is more than just the bean used to make coffee grounds.
The surrounding red flesh of the berry is rich in beneficial polyphenols, and is used to make the award winning NeuroFactor™, which offers unique brain health support not seen with most other supplement ingredients.
NeuroFactor™ helps stimulate the production of an important neuroprotein called brain derived neurotropic factor – or BDNF for short.
BDNF supports the brain’s memory, learning and thinking functions, and also supports our emotional health such as supporting good moods by helping brain cells recover from the effects of stress.
Some of the benefits found in research with NeuroFactor™ include:
Amla is considered to be one of the most important berries in the Indian traditional system of medicine. The patented Capros® extract concentrates key polyphenols in amla that offer numerous benefits for supporting heart and cardiovascular health.
These polyphenols are also known as tannins and make up more than 60% of the nutrient dense Capros extract.
These amla polyphenols are especially potent because they have longer-lasting “cascading” antioxidant properties.
Several published research studies with Capros® indicate it may offer the following benefits:
Tart cherries were first grown in the Montmorency Valley in France. They’re a brighter red than sweet or dark cherries, and more sour tasting or tart than the regular cherries.
This is due in part to a higher concentration of the beneficial polyphenols, called anthocyanin 1 and anthocyanin 2, which help promote a heathy inflammation response among other benefits.
Although originating in France, some of the most potent tart cherries in the world grow in Northern Michigan, the home of the CherryPure® tart cherry powder.
CherryPure® is a high potency product that’s very concentrated – it takes about 50 pounds of cherries to make just 1 pound of CherryPure® tart cherry powder. It’s 100% pure tart cherry powder, no fillers or additives are used.
Some of the findings in research with CherryPure® include:
ElderMune® is an innovative ingredient for enhanced immune support that combines organic elderberry juice (a 65:1 concentrate) with the Sunfiber® organic prebiotic digestive fiber.
This novel combination can enhance the absorption of the elderberry immune fighting antioxidants in the digestive tract to promote better immune health.
The organic elderberry powder in ElderMune® contains an exceptionally high amount of polyphenols – 65 pounds of fresh elderberry fruit is used to create 1 pound of the elderberry juice concentrate (this compares to around 10 pounds typically used in generic elderberry powders).
In addition, the Sunfiber® prebiotic fiber helps these elderberry nutrients gets absorbed into the bloodstream where they can go to work.
Some potential benefits of ElderMune®:
MegaNatural®-BP is a highly concentrated grape seed extract standardized to contain at least 90% polyphenols, the key blood pressure supporting compounds.
Each batch of MegaNatural®-BP is made in California from a special blend of unfermented wine grapes by Polyphenolics, a division of Constellation Brands (a leading premium wine company).
The makers of MegaNatural®-BP have invested in and published several scientific research studies demonstrating the blood pressure supporting properties of this patented grapeseed extract. The findings include:
The powder is not sweet, it has a fairly neutral “jammy” flavor. Some find it a little tart tasting due to all the polyphenols packed into TrueBerry7. You can add sweetness if you like or use more or less water as desired. TrueBerry7 can be added to smoothies, shakes, juices or any other way you enjoy.
One serving is good for general wellness, but to get the full benefits of the TrueBerry7 ingredients, we recommend taking 2 servings daily. It’s best to take these servings at separate times of day, but they can be taken at once if necessary. We don’t generally recommend taking more than 2 servings a day unless you’re advised to do so by your healthcare practitioner.
All of the ingredients in TrueBerry7 are Non-GMO.
