Nutraceuticals. Important innovation from pomegranate extract: reduction of
fatigue in those with prolonged fatigue and support for the immune system
Improve® Line is the new line of food supplements based on B vitamins, Mediterranean Pomegranate extract, and vitamin C, designed to support natural immune defenses through a specific balance of micronutrients to increase the body's energy and combat tiredness and fatigue, thanks to unique formulations.
Improve Response is the first supplement in the Improve® Line, designed to usher in a new approach to immuno-nutrition that Esserre Pharma will develop with further solutions in the coming months.
"Pomegranate and its properties are entering the vast field of immuno-nutrition thanks to in-depth research and development work that lasted 2 years, and whose effectiveness has been tested by a study in collaboration with the University of Naples Federico II. The results of the work demonstrate the potential activity of this fruit in effectively supporting the immune system."
With these words, Esserre Pharma CEO, Amedeo Squillace, announced the launch of the Improve® Line on the Italian market.
By immuno-nutrition, we mean the properties of certain specific nutrients in modulating the activity of the immune system.
The area of immuno-nutrition joins the sectors in which Esserre Pharma has been operating since 2013: cardio-metabolic, psychological and intestinal well-being (microbiota), and inflammation.
Esserre Pharma is the first to bring this important innovation to the world of nutraceuticals, with a production process that enhances a 100% Italian and sustainable supply chain.
And once again, thanks to a typically Mediterranean fruit, as previously happened with bergamot, in line with the company's tradition, strongly anchored to the natural products of the Mediterranean.
Improve Response contains PunicaPLUS®, the exclusive Mediterranean pomegranate extract that integrates a high number of active molecules with antioxidant properties.
In particular, the polyphenol component has shown antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties.
In turn, the vitamin component consists of all B vitamins and vitamin C, whose daily intake promotes the physiological function of the immune system, contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
It is undeniable that dietary habits are closely related to the health and efficiency of the immune system. However, frantic rhythms and aging, as well as incorrect lifestyles and a state of prolonged stress, such as that produced by the Covid-19 pandemic, compromise immune function, and nutritional deficiencies can predispose the body to be more exposed to infections: the feeling of tiredness or exhaustion, characterized by a general lack of energy and physical and mental fatigue, can develop as a result of alterations in the immune system but also due to stressful events, nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory states, and infectious diseases.
If not addressed, these problems can lead to chronic tiredness and fatigue.
"The question from which the development of this new product started was: what will be people's needs in light of this pandemic wave, in a new new normal that lies ahead?", added Squillace.
"The result is precisely the creation of a product that enhances the properties of pomegranate extract, which has shown great potential in supporting the immune system and which, associated with vitamins B and C, is also able to reduce the state of fatigue."
Furthermore, several clinical studies are already available on the positive effects of pomegranate consumption, in the form of fruit, juice or extract, in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders.
Oxidative stress also plays a role in inflamm-aging, highlighting its crucial impact in the complex mechanisms of aging, energy recovery during convalescence, especially after an infection, and in supporting immune function.
