India boasts of a wide range of native fruits, all of them rich in phytonutrients. Chief among them are Pomegranate, Jamun (Indian blackberry) & Amla (Indian gooseberry). The health benefits attributed to the consumption of fruits are related to their antioxidant activity.
Pomegranates are the richest source of antioxidants among all fruits. Free radicals, triggered in our body, mostly by pollutants, contaminants in food, can lead to cancer or heart attacks. Antioxidants help combat effectively free radicals. While ancient systems of medicine have recognized and exploited the value of pomegranates as health supplements, 'modern science' has only recently realized the importance of this super anti-oxidant.
Jamun, also known as Indian blackberry is a rich source of minerals, particularly iron, calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin A and C contents of Jamun fruit are higher than that of apple. It is a useful food supplement, which prevents the onset of diabetes and also improves the health of a diabetic patient at initial stages by decreasing the blood sugar level. Jamun seeds contain combolian glucocide, which prevents the conversion of starch to sugar.
Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry is a rich source of Vitamin C and tannins. The tannins in Amla are very effective as antioxidants.
Research shows that fruits/fruit supplements are critical to promoting good health. Fruit supplements contain not only a far wider variety of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals than traditional vitamin supplements, but also antioxidants and other phytonutrients - including the fibre - found in fresh raw fruits.
After considerable studies and research, Maduban Natural Products, an outfit at Bangalore, involving technocrats, scientists and young farmers has developed a process of extracting the polyphenolic antioxidants and other key nutrients from the entire portion of pomegranate, jamun and amla fruits - peel, juice and seed. The nutrients in 'Maduban Naturals' fruit supplements work together in combination to provide the nutritional benefits of eating a whole fruit. The whole fruit extracts are formulated into various products like fruit capsules, juice concentrates, fortified tea's, fruit chews, health chocolates, face packs, hair conditioner powder, body scrubs etc. for easy day-to-day use.
