5- Prevents Anemia
Anemia is the absence of enough healthy red blood cells. This can cause serious health problems, but there is good news: punicic acid may be able to help protect against anemia by increasing hemoglobin levels. (3)
Hemoglobin helps carry oxygen through our bodies; low levels of it could contribute to anemia. In a recent study on mice, scientists observed that after being injected with punicic acid, their hemoglobin levels had significantly increased within just two weeks – thereby preventing them from developing anemia. Moreover, this increase in hemoglobin was maintained even after four weeks of treatment with punicic acid.
