Pomegranate Juice Powder
Also known as: Pomegranate powder, Pomegranate extract, Punica granatum
Pomegranate juice powder is a concentrated form of pomegranate fruit rich in polyphenols, particularly punicalagins and anthocyanins, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Evidence supports benefits for cardiovascular health, inflammation, and endothelial function.
Primary uses
- Cardiovascular support
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
- Endothelial function
- Blood pressure support
- General wellness
How it works
- Punicalagins and anthocyanins scavenge free radicals
- Modulates inflammatory signaling pathways (NF-κB, TNF-α)
- Improves nitric oxide bioavailability, supporting vascular endothelial function
- May inhibit ACE activity, supporting blood pressure regulation
Dosage
- Typical range
- 150-240 mL fresh juice daily, or 500-1000 mg powder daily (typically standardized to 30-65% punicalagins)
- Timing
- Any time of day
- With food
- With or without food; may be better tolerated with food
- Duration
- Safe for long-term use; benefits typically appear after 4-8 weeks

Evidence notes
Multiple well-designed RCTs show modest but consistent benefits for blood pressure, endothelial function, and lipid profiles. Strong antioxidant capacity confirmed in multiple studies. Effect sizes are moderate; benefits typically appear after 4-8 weeks of use.
Grade B: Some human trials support key claims; further confirmation needed.
