Raspex^™ | Ellagic Acid

Raspberries contain one of the most powerful antioxidants known – a series of ellagitannins that are converted into ellagic acid in the stomach. The seed of the raspberry contains more ellagitannins than the fruit, however if it is not ground into bioavailable flour, it passes through the body with little benefit. The bioavailable flour frees the ellagitannins for immediate absorption and transformation into ellagic acid in the body. Many fruits contain ellagitannins, however, raspberry ellagitannins are one of the only fruits that have been clinically shown to be transformed into beneficial levels of ellagic acid in the body. The health benefits of raspberries, including cancer prevention, are described in the American Cancer Society's book Complimentary and Alternative Cancer Methods.

The ellagitannin content of red raspberry seeds varies dramatically with the variety of the berry. The highest levels of ellagitannins are found in the Meeker variety of raspberry seed. SMDI has selected a processor who guarantees us greater than 90% Meeker raspberry content and is willing to actively control their raw material stream to satisfy our strict nutraceutical requirements. SMDI's Meeker Variety Raspberry Seed products contain the highest amount of ellagitannins available in nature per dollar spent.

There has been much research into ellagic acid, its value as a potent anti-oxidant and its value in fighting cancer is widely accepted. Ellagic acid has been shown to keep cancer cells from dividing and multiplying and eventually kills the cancer. The ellagic acid has been quite successful against esophageal, breast, colon prostate and skin cancer. Ellagitannins may also lead to cholesterol reduction and its anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial properties have been attributed to weight loss, slowing gum recession and many other benefits.

Ellagitannins are large flat molecules found in the fruit and seeds of many fruits. When eating the ellagitannins they are converted by the stomach acids into ellagic acid. Ellagic acid works in many wonderful ways.

1. As an anti-oxidant, it neutralizes cell damaging free radicals
2. It protects the p53 gene. Most cancers are caused by damage to this gene.
3. It protects DNA from the mutations that cause cancer
4. It inhibits the viral enzyme Integrace

It is known that if the phase-I enzyme system is stimulated oxidative damage may be promoted or magnified however, if the phase-II system is preferentially stimulated, breakdown of chemical carcinogens occurs. It is obvious that we want to selectively stimulate the phase-II enzyme system.

Ellagic Acid Does That?

Ellagic acid is what we call a nonfunctional stimulator of the phase II enzyme system. It is this stimulation which can also be characterized as anti-oxidant potential. Ellagic acid disarms cancer causing agents before they can harm your DNA. Ellagic acid ferociously attacks cancer cells anywhere in your body, thus helping your immune system destroy these cancerous cells and shutting off their ability to multiply, divide and reproduce. The ellagitannins cause programmed cell death or apoptosis of the cancer cells.†
