This premium liquid supplement is distributed by Naturamedicatrix and produced by the German laboratory Dr Jacob’s Medical, bringing together the best of the pomegranate fruit in a 500ml bottle. It stands out for a unique production process combining natural fermentation with polyphenol concentration, making it one of the richest pomegranate elixirs on the market — a genuine supplement rather than a simple fruit drink.

Each 20–30ml serving delivers a significant amount of total polyphenols, including punicalagins and ellagitannins, two families of compounds that have been widely studied for their antioxidant potential. The polyphenol concentration is several times higher than in a standard pomegranate juice.

Polyphenols are natural plant compounds that play a fundamental role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. Pomegranate is one of the richest fruits in polyphenols, and particularly in punicalagins — hydrolysable tannins barely found in any other fruit. In the gut, punicalagins are converted into urolithins, metabolites that are the subject of ongoing international research. Fermentation partially pre-breaks down the punicalagin molecules, supporting their assimilation from the earliest stages of digestion.

Beyond punicalagins, the elixir also contains ellagic acid, anthocyanins and flavonoids, which complete its antioxidant spectrum — researchers call this natural synergy the “matrix effect”, where several compound families combine for a greater effect than any single compound alone.

Fermentation is a natural biochemical process in which micro-organisms — here, lactic bacteria — transform the sugars and other components of pomegranate juice into more complex, more bioavailable metabolites, similar to the process used for kefir, kombucha or lacto-fermented vegetables. Partial fermentation reduces the simple sugar content of the juice while increasing the concentration of organic acids, enzymes and transformed polyphenols, resulting in a product that is both more concentrated in active compounds and easier to digest than raw pomegranate juice.

Dr Jacob’s Medical, based in Germany, controls every stage of production to the strictest European standards, selecting pomegranates for their polyphenol richness and optimal ripeness, with continuous monitoring for consistent quality batch after batch.

Take away from meals. Allow at least one and a half hours before a meal, or one and a half hours after. This matters: pomegranate polyphenols and punicalagins are absorbed far better on an empty stomach, while taking them in the middle of a meal noticeably reduces the benefit. First thing in the morning or mid-afternoon are the easiest slots to keep to.

Take 20–30ml of Fermented Pomegranate Elixir per day, neat or diluted in a glass of water or fruit juice, ideally first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or mid-afternoon away from meals. Shake well before each use, as fermented pulp particles tend to settle at the bottom. Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 4–6 weeks. A 500ml bottle provides around 17–25 days of use depending on the dose chosen.

Not intended for children under 12 or for pregnant or breastfeeding women without prior medical advice. If you are taking specific medication, consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation. Food supplement — does not replace a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children.

What’s the difference between plain pomegranate juice and this fermented elixir?

Standard pomegranate juice is simply pressed from the fruit and contains natural polyphenols in their raw form. Dr Jacob’s Fermented Pomegranate Elixir undergoes a controlled fermentation process that transforms and concentrates these polyphenols, significantly boosting their bioavailability. It’s a concentrate, not a thirst-quenching drink — a genuine food supplement.

How long does a 500ml bottle last?

At 20–30ml per day, a 500ml bottle provides roughly 17–25 days of use. For a full month’s course, plan on at least two bottles.

Does it contain added sugar?

No. Partial fermentation naturally reduces the simple sugar content of the pomegranate juice. The mild sweetness comes solely from the sugars naturally present in the pomegranate and elderberry concentrate.

Can it be combined with other supplements?

Yes — it pairs particularly well with vitamin C, which reinforces the antioxidant action of the polyphenols, or with probiotics, which support the conversion of punicalagins into urolithins in the gut. Our team can advise on the best combinations for your goals.
