How Does Pomegranate Extract Work?
Pomegranate extract functions through multiple mechanisms:
- Cardiovascular Protection: Reduces blood pressure by an average of 5 mmHg systolic and 2 mmHg diastolic, improves endothelial function, and supports healthy cholesterol levels.
- Antioxidant Activity: Provides superior antioxidant capacity compared to red wine and green tea, neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress markers
- Anti-inflammatory Effects: Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and IL-1β, reducing systemic inflammation and supporting tissue health.
- Exercise Recovery: Improves post-workout performance by 8%, reduces muscle soreness by 13%, and accelerates recovery of muscle damage biomarkers.
- Metabolic Support: Helps regulate blood glucose, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports healthy lipid metabolism.

Recommended Dosage and Use
Typical doses range from 500 to 1000 mg of standardized pomegranate extract daily. For cardiovascular support, 500-740 mg daily is commonly used. For exercise recovery, doses may be split pre- and post-workout. Best taken with meals for optimal absorption.
Safety, Side Effects, and Interactions
Pomegranate extract is generally safe and well-tolerated. Mild gastrointestinal upset may occur in sensitive individuals. It may interact with blood-thinning medications due to mild effects on CYP450 enzymes; monitoring is advised for those on warfarin. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult healthcare providers before high-dose supplementation.
