Identifying the limits for ellagic acid bioavailability: A crossover pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers after consumption of pomegranate extracts

Ellagic acid (EA) is a polyphenol that must be released from the non-bioavailable ellagitannins in pomegranates, walnuts or strawberries to be absorbed. To estimate whether EA bioavailability could be improved after consumption of a high free EA amount, we conducted a crossover pharmacokinetic study...
