Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

Original ellagic acid research* from black walnut in 1968 showed many pharmacological effects in small animals such as anti-tumor, brain-protecting effect, analgesic, and tranquilizer like properties, antibacterial, anti-histaminic or anti-inflammatory effects, along with blood pressure-lowering action. Some of the experiments were so powerful that Ellagic acid prevented death almost 100% in mice from electroconvulsive shock and death from the acute release of histamine by strong histamine liberators similar to the prevention of mortality by acute anaphylactic like a shock. 

​Polyphenols are micronutrients with anti-prolific and antioxidant properties that can prevent prostate cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. These health benefits were first discovered during the period 1977 - 1990 after the original ellagic acid (EA) research results were known as shown above. During this time, EA also became very popular on the internet as an anticancer compound. EA is found in many fruits, nuts, and vegetables, therefore easy to consume in vegan or vegetarian diets. Currently, there are more than 4000 publications & patents on ellagic acid supporting the above health benefits.
