Raw Power Seeds

Studies

The studies behind Raw Power Seeds.

Peer-reviewed studies on ellagic acid, nature's most studied healing compound.

Certified Organic raspberry seed powder is one of the richest known sources of ellagic acid, a polyphenol that has been the subject of over 35 published studies across 10 major disease categories, conducted by leading research institutions worldwide.

Section 1

What is ellagic acid?

Ellagic acid (C₁₄H₆O₈) is a naturally occurring polyphenol found in raspberries, pomegranates, walnuts, and strawberries. Studies have shown that Ellagic acid works as a direct free-radical scavenger and triggers cancer cell self-destruction (apoptosis). Furthermore, studies confirm that it can block tumour growth signals and is converted by the gut microbiome into active compounds called urolithins.

#1Highest known source

Red raspberry seed powder contains the highest concentration of ellagic acid found in nature.

More than pomegranates, walnuts, or any other commonly studied source, making certified organic raspberry seed powder the most potent dietary vehicle for this compound.

Cellular Health Research

9 Studies

  • Lung Health

    Research suggests ellagic acid may trigger autophagy in abnormal lung cells and could suppress tumour growth in both cell and animal models.2

  • Bladder Health

    A study showed that ellagic acid can reduce the invasiveness of abnormal bladder cells and may slow tumour growth in vivo.3

  • Prostate Health

    Research indicates ellagic acid may induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) and cell-cycle arrest in abnormal prostate cells.4

  • Breast Health

    A study suggested ellagic acid can suppress the proliferation of abnormal breast cells and may induce apoptosis by inhibiting the enzyme CDK6.5

  • Colon Health

    Research suggests ellagic acid may inhibit the growth of abnormal colorectal cells and could induce apoptosis through several pathways.6

  • Pancreatic Health

    Studies suggest ellagic acid may suppress the proliferation of abnormal pancreatic cells and could promote apoptosis.6

  • Oesophageal Health

    Research indicates ellagic acid may help block toxin-induced DNA adduct formation, which could support oesophageal cell health in models.6

  • Skin Health

    Studies suggest ellagic acid–rich pomegranate extract may help protect against UV-induced skin damage and abnormal cell changes.7

  • Liver Health

    Research suggests ellagic acid can exert anti-proliferative effects on abnormal liver (hepatocellular) cells.6

Study 3

Effect of Processing and Storage on the Antioxidant Ellagic Acid Derivatives and Flavonoids of Red Raspberry Jams

Zafrilla P, Ferreres F, Tomás-Barberán FA. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2001;49(8):3651–3655.

Identified 32 individual phenolic compounds across multiple raspberry cultivars, with ellagic acid as the dominant constituent. Extracts showed significant antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities with applications in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
