Ellagic acid is a polyphenol you get from raspberries, strawberries, walnuts, and pomegranates. It helps neutralize free radicals in the body. People take it to support cellular health and a healthy inflammatory response. It also supports immune function and skin health.
You usually take it in capsule or powder form with meals to aid absorption. Morning or evening both work, but consistent daily use matters more. It may interact with some medications processed by the liver, and large doses can cause mild stomach upset. Pregnant or nursing people should talk to a health professional before starting.
