CONCLUSION
An explosion of interest in the numerous therapeutic
properties of P. granatum over the last decade has led to
numerous in vitro, animal, and clinical trials.
Pomegranate is a potent antioxidant, superior to red wine
and equal to or better than green tea. In addition,
anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties suggest
its possible use as a therapy or adjunct for
prevention and treatment of several types of cancer and
cardiovascular disease.
The possibility that pomegranate extracts may also
have an effect on several other disease processes, such
as Alzheimer’s disease, osteoarthritis, neonatal brain
injury, male infertility, and obesity, underscores the need
for more clinical research.
