Elche FC adding Mollar del Eche pomegranate juice to player's diet
The Head of Elche FC medical services, Dr. César Quesada, has given his approval for incorporating the mollar pomegranate juice into the players' diet, highlighting that the natural antioxidants contained in pomegranate help reduce oxidative stress, which is higher in elite athletes due to the extreme physical strain they undergo.
The Director of Granatum, Eduardo Vidal, hopes that this agreement, together with the campaign launched a few months ago with the slogan 'There are many worlds within me', will raise the public's awareness of the benefits of this fruit, grown mostly in Elche, Crevillente and Albatera.
The President of Elche FC, José Sepulcre, has emphasised the importance of providing the first team with the best, most advanced products for the physical recovery of players, whilst at the same time stressing that the choice of a product native to our region such as the pomegranate represents an economic boost and national and international publicity.
In a study conducted in universities in the United States, Europe and Asia and coordinated by Professor Ángel Carbonell of the UMH, the mollar pomegranate juice complex was found to have a higher antioxidant content, a better taste and a more positive consumer assessment than the rest of the juices analysed.
