Studies today support the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and anticancer effects of pomegranate components for potential nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. The bioactive compounds such as punicalagins and ellagic acid in pomegranate show strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular benefits, supporting health and longevity. Current research confirms comparable efficacy between pomegranate juice and extracts while emphasising safe, evidence-based use.

 Moreover, comprehensive evidence backs pomegranate-derived products as multi-target nutraceuticals that help redox balance, control inflammation, and mitigate age-related functional decline.

 Pomegranate has been used in traditional practices ranging from Chinese medicine to Tibetan and Uyghur rituals. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel, seeds, flowers, and bark are used for treating stomach ailments, diarrhoea, wound care, and parasite control. Today, pomegranate fruit is eaten across world in various forms--fresh, juice or processed into extracts, oils, cosmetics, animal feed, and functional foods across the world.

Modern reviews highlight pomegranate’s role in promoting healthy aging through modulation of mitochondrial function and immune cell oxidative balance, reflecting its integration into both traditional and evidence-based medicine frameworks.

Studies have shown that punicalagins, ellagic acid, and anthocyanins help reduce oxidative stress, modulate NF-κB signaling, and improve vascular parameters, including blood pressure and endothelial function. Still, it is good to consult doctors in case of taking it as concentrated supplements.
