Pomegranate
Punica granatum
Pomegranate quiets the inflammation master switch in cultured cells, keeps the p53 alarm audible, and turns down the call for new blood vessels.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Pomegranate lowered blood pressure in human trials and improved the carotid artery wall, the vessel measurement that tracks stroke risk.
In 60 people on head-and-neck radiotherapy, blinded: less burnt skin and less mouth ulceration.
Punicalagins from the ruby rind calm NF-kB, easing the low, smoldering inflammation that keeps the nervous system on edge after the lights go out.
Punica punicalagins — human randomized trials show blood-pressure and endothelial benefit, the polyphenol that keeps circulation open where fertility depends on it.
Symbol of fertility since antiquity, the jewelled pomegranate yields punicalagins that shield nitric oxide along the artery lining and keep flow generous.
In mice facing painkiller-driven liver damage, shutting that switch down removed the protection.
Pomegranate root and stem bark have long been used to drive worms from the gut, and the rind adds punicalagins against unwelcome organisms.
Pomegranate lowered systolic pressure 5.02 mmHg. The analysis admitted only trials of pomegranate juice on its own.
Blocks the bacterium's acid-survival enzyme and works in synergy with metronidazole; eight days cut gastritis in rats.
Pomegranate rind is dense with punicalagin; it triggers the cell's master switch for antioxidant genes, arming cells before oxidative damage lands.
