BULKSUPPLEMENTS.COM Pomegranate Extract Powder - Pomegranate Supplement for Immune Support - Antioxidants Supplement, Polyphenols Source - 500mg per Serving (1 Kilogram - 2.2 lbs)

Pomegranate is a very versatile herb primarily for its antioxidant properties. Emphasis here is on the word "Pomegranate" which is a fruit, not a powder. Now, you will find many companies and sources citing the following published results from the Hollings Cancer Institute by Dr. Daniel Nixon:<(40 mg of ellagitannins) prevents the development of cancer cells. At low concentrations, it slows the growth of cancer cells; at higher concentrations, it tells cancer cells to kill themselves. For example, cells infected with the human papilloma virus (which is linked to cervical cancer), when exposed to ellagic acid experienced apoptosis, or normal cell death.>What you will not find is the fact that the 40mg of ellagitannins are derived from consuming a cup of raspberries. The same applies here. It is not the acid, which is synthesized by your body through digesting the berry, or in this case pomegranate, it is the fruit itself that is able to transport the beneficial compound into the body in a manner that is useful.That said, I have used this particular product for under two weeks and I cannot give a definite review on how it affects my system as of yet. I do know I feel some positive effect, but I can't attribute this to a particular antioxidant as I take quite a few (both synthetic and artificial). Which brings me to my actual point. You should literally take this to supplement your servings of berries and fruits known to contain a high concentration of antioxidants.My theory on cancer is that it is linked to body toxicity. The liver is responsible for regulating body toxicity and it does so with the help of many nutrients from the diet. One of which is the subject matter here, ellagitannins. Improper functioning of the liver, resulting from a lack of proper diet, and care of the body, will ultimately result in the formation of cancerous centers.Take care of your body. Learn how to use it and maintain it properly.I can only recommend this supplement as just that, a supplement to the actual thing.I've also included information I found off the web (webmd.com) about pomegranate. These are not 'scientifically' proven, but you can run your own personal experiments.====Pomegranate has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of diseases. It is in Greek, Hebrew, Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian mythology and writings. It is described in records dating from around 1500 BC as a treatment for tapeworm and other parasites.Uses:Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Early research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice might help to keep the arteries in the neck (carotid arteries) clear of the build-up of fatty deposits.Clogged arteries (coronary heart disease). Some early research shows that drinking pomegranate juice might improve blood flow to the heart. However, drinking pomegranate juice does not seem to prevent narrowing of blood vessels in the heart (stenosis). Also, there is not enough information to know if drinking pomegranate juice helps to prevent heart disease-related events such as heart attack.Dental plaque. Early research suggests that rinsing with pomegranate extract mouthwash for one minute once or twice daily reduces dental plaque.Erectile dysfunction. Early research shows that drinking pomegranate juice daily for 4 weeks does not improve erectile dysfunction in men.Muscle soreness after exercising. Early research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice twice daily for 15 days reduces muscle soreness after exercising in the elbow but not the knee.High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). Some studies show that pomegranate juice can lower total cholesterol and “bad” (LDL) cholesterol. However, other studies find no benefit. Pomegranate seed oil, but not pomegranate juice, may improve triglycerides and “good” (HDL) cholesterol levels.High blood pressure (hypertension). Some research shows that drinking 50-200 mL of pomegranate juice daily for up to one year can lower systolic blood pressure (the top number) by 5% to 21%. Also, some research shows that drinking this amount of pomegranate juice can reduce diastolic pressure (the lower number), although other research shows no benefit. Drinking more than 240 mL of pomegranate juice daily does not seem to reduce blood pressure.Metabolic syndrome. Early research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice daily for one month improves blood vessel function in adolescents with metabolic syndrome.Muscle strength. Early research suggests that taking a specific pomegranate extract (POMx) twice daily improves muscle strength recovery after exercise.Obesity. Early research suggests that taking a specific combination product (Xanthigen) containing pomegranate seed oil and brown marine algae reduces body weight in obese women with liver disease.Gum disease. There is some evidence that painting the gum with pomegranate fruit peel extract in combination with gotu kola extract might improve gum disease.Prostate cancer. Early research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice daily for up to 2 years might slow the progress of prostate cancer.Inflamed and sore mouth (stomatitis). Applying a gel containing pomegranate extract to the gums improves symptoms in people with fungal infections in the mouth.Sunburn. Early research suggests that taking pomegranate extract by mouth daily for 4 weeks does not reduce sunburn.Sexually transmitted disease called trichomoniasis. Early research suggests that taking pomegranate extract might clear up trichomoniasis infections in women.Intestinal worm infestations.Diarrhea.Dysentery.Sore throat.Hemorrhoids.Menopausal symptoms.

I bought this to add to my smoothies when the price of elderberry nectar skyrocketed. I've been using it, but the rest is going in the trash. I had high hopes for it and transferred the product to a convenient storage container and threw away the original bag, so I do not have access to the ingredients list. Any seller of a legitimate product has the ingredients list visible on their Amazon listing. This supplier does not, but on their website, a comment says that the product is bulked up with maltodextrin. Other similar products state "pomegranate juice concentrate" or "pomegranate juice powder" and the ingredients are "100% pomegranate juice." I don't know what else is in this, but it has absolutely no pomegranate flavor at all. It could be dust swept up off the factory floor. I'm sorry I wasted $43 on this tasteless brown dust.

I’ve read about the benefits of pomegranate extract in reducing inflammation and gout. So, I recently, bought it for a family member. I will give the product two weeks to see if it truly works in reducing inflammation and gout. So, it’s too early to give any star rating. But, you cannot beat the price for the amount of product you receive. To be fair, this product is not cheap. But, it is a cheaper alternative to pomegranate juice, which is far more expensive per serving. So, I'll give it a 5-star rating for the price only, at this point in time.

I got this product because I read that it helps a man's prostate. I was using 1/4 teas. twice daily for a few weeks and I saw no improvement. Then I started using 1/2 teas. twice daily. Now it is working for me. I am in my seventy's and I was getting up at night 3 times to urinate because of an enlarged prostate. All last week it went down to 2 times per night. Last night I only got up to urinate 1 time. I couldn't believe it. I am going to keep using this product.

I was looking for an Ellagic Acid supplement for health reasons that was more economical and easy to use than capsules, fruit or extract. I blend this with a protein shake or some other drink.
