Ellagic Acid Fact: Red Raspberries, and other foods, contain Ellagitannin which upon human consumption is broken down into Ellagic Acid.

More and more websites are appearing on the Internet, advertising higher and higher contents of Ellagic Acid, obtained from raspberries, strawberries and other fruits.

The truth of the matter is that all this is complete rubbish. Be warned!

Experts in the business, confirm that the Meeker raspberry is the best source available, but even the Meeker raspberry, does not produce any Ellagic Acid content.

All Claims to this effect are totally misleading.

What is produced in the fruit, is an amount of Ellagitannin, and this in turn is able to produce Ellagic acid, only when it is consumed in the body.

Beware of companies selling "Ellagic Acid" content, this is impossible!

Eating vast quantities of the correct type of fresh raspberries each day is not only impractical but would be horrendously expensive. Our leading brand uses the latest technology to extract the maximum amount of ellagitannin from a given amount of raspberry seed, but few have access to the most sophisticated techniques.

Some claims with ridiculously high content figures, are merely quoting in reality, the percentage of raspberry pulp in their product.

This is irrelevant as the highest concentration of Ellagitannin is found in the seeds.

Some quote high figures where the content is added to, in order to raise the percentage of Ellagitannin to what they want to claim.

This is misleading and illegal!

But above all, beware of the claims of percentage Ellagic Acid content. It is only the Ellagitannin content that is relevant.

Compare prices: Some popular brands sell for about $45.00 / $60.00 per 120 count bottle only to discover that you need to take 4 to 8 tablets to meet the daily dose, making these products two to four times more expensive than ours!
