Product Description
Authentic Xinjiang Pomegranate Peel Extract – Tannic Acid 40-90% Standardized, A Dual Herbal Ingredient for Antibacterial Diarrhea Relief and Cardiovascular Protection.
Product Description
In today’s climate of simultaneous demand for ‘gut health’ and ‘cardiovascular antioxidant support,’ pomegranate peel is one of the few medicinal-food homologous ingredients that possess both astringent anti-diarrheal properties and evidence-based cardiovascular benefits. Nutralighting Pomegranate Extract (Pomegranate Extract), characterized by punicalagin, tannic acid, and anthocyanins, is selectively enriched from plant materials. Tannic acid content is controllable at 40%-90%, and punicalagin at 40%, targeting antibacterial diarrhea relief, gut health, and cardiovascular protection. It serves the health supplement, functional food, and personal care formulation markets.
Nutralighting Pomegranate Extract uses carefully selected pomegranate peel, prepared through water extraction and alcohol precipitation, with high tannin content. It is a brown-red powder with a very astringent taste, an excellent raw material for anti-diarrheal and antibacterial products.
Pomegranate peel is a traditional astringent anti-diarrheal herb in China. Xinjiang and Shaanxi are the main production areas, with stable domestic and international cultivation and supply. Nutralighting Pomegranate Extract is mainly used in diarrhea-relief and antibacterial products.
This product is strictly quality-controlled according to USP/EP pharmacopeial standards, and each batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). Testing includes content of characteristic components.

Why Choose Nutralighting
Core active ingredient content is precisely controllable, and batch stability is supported by data
Our pomegranate extract uses ellagic acid and punicalagin as core quality control indicators, and is available in multiple specifications including 40%, 95%, and 98%. Each batch is shipped with an HPLC test report, and the fluctuation of active ingredient content is controlled at a leading level in the industry. For formulators, this means no need to frequently adjust the dosage and the risk of customer complaints caused by batch variation is reduced.
Raw material part is clearly defined, and efficacy positioning is clear and traceable
We offer two major series: pomegranate peel extract (rich in ellagic acid and punicalagin, focusing on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects) and pomegranate seed extract (rich in punicic acid, focusing on skin care and moisturizing). The raw material origin, variety, and harvest season are fully traceable. Customers can precisely select the right product based on target efficacy, avoiding the problems of unclear composition and vague efficacy caused by “mixed extracts,” and making the ingredient labeling of end products more standardized and credible.
Customized processing and flexible production capacity, matching customers of different sizes
Based on the characteristics of pomegranate extract such as water solubility, color, and taste, we can adjust the extraction solvent, drying method, and particle size distribution to meet customer requirements for special indicators such as water solubility, low odor, and light color. We also support the full-process service from laboratory-scale trials to pilot-scale scale-up. We have both the continuous large-batch supply capacity needed by large customers and the flexible small-batch trial production for small and medium-sized customers, ensuring no supply shortage even during peak seasons.

Introduction to Plant Material
The raw material is the dried fruit peel or root bark of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) of the Punicaceae family. It is mainly produced in Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan. Pomegranate has been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years, with both the fruit peel and root bark used in traditional Chinese medicine. Recorded in ‘Zhonghua Bencao’. Anshi Pomegranate extract is rich in tannins and pomegranate alkaloids.
Core Benefits
The following Pomegranate Extract overview of benefits is based on traditional use and published scientific research; specific effects should be assessed considering the product form and dosage.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) extract has health support effects in antibacterial diarrhea relief and cardiovascular protection. Tannins are its core active components, providing astringent diarrhea-relieving and antibacterial effects.
Pomegranate peel has traditionally been used for chronic diarrhea and dysentery. Research shows that compound formulations containing pomegranate peel extract have some support for use in acute diarrhea. Pomegranate polyphenols (especially ellagic acid and gallic acid) have MIC values of 0.25–1.0 mg/mL against E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella. In terms of cardiovascular protection, pomegranate polyphenols have been studied for blood pressure health, with mechanisms related to ACE inhibition and antioxidant stress; in vitro studies on LDL oxidation also suggest potential benefits for anti-atherosclerosis.
