Nutraceuticals. Important innovation from pomegranate extract: reduction of
tiredness in those with prolonged fatigue and support for the immune system
Linea Improve® is the new line of food supplements based on B vitamins, Mediterranean Pomegranate extract and vitamin C, designed to support the natural immune defenses through a specific balance of micronutrients in order to increase the body's energy and fight tiredness and fatigue, thanks to unique formulations.
Improve Response is the first supplement of the Improve® Line , designed to inaugurate a new approach to immuno-nutrition that Esserre Pharma will develop with further solutions in the coming months.
“Pomegranate and its properties enter the vast sphere of immuno-nutrition thanks to an in-depth research and development work that lasted 2 years, and whose effectiveness was tested by a study in collaboration with the University of Naples Federico II. The results of the work demonstrate a potential activity of this fruit in effectively supporting the immune system”.
With these words, the CEO of Esserre Pharma, Amedeo Squillace, announced the launch of the Improve® Line on the Italian market.
Immuno-nutrition refers to the properties of some specific nutrients in modulating the activity of the immune system.
The immuno-nutrition area joins the sectors in which Esserre Pharma has been operating since 2013: cardio-metabolic, psychological and intestinal well-being (microbiota), inflammation.
Esserre Pharma - www.esserrepharma.com - 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 polyphenolic component has demonstrated antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties.
In turn, the vitamin component is made up of all the B vitamins and vitamin C, whose daily intake promotes the physiological function of the immune system, contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
There is no doubt that eating habits are closely related to the health and efficiency of the immune system. However, the frenetic pace and advancing age, as well as incorrect lifestyles and a state of prolonged stress, such as that produced by the Covid-19 pandemic, lead to compromising the 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 following alterations of the immune system but also due to stressful events, nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory states, infectious diseases.
If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to chronic conditions of tiredness and fatigue.
“The question that started the development of this new product was: what will people's needs be in light of this pandemic wave, in a new new normal that lies ahead?” Squillace added.
“The result is precisely the creation of a product that enhances the properties of pomegranate extract, which has demonstrated great potential in supporting the immune system and which, combined with vitamins B and C, is also able to reduce fatigue”.
Furthermore, there are several clinical studies 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 on the complex mechanisms of aging, energy recovery during convalescence, especially after infection, and in supporting immune function.
