pomegranate tablets are they good for something??


Question:


Answers:
Well here's something.

Recent research indicates that pomegranate juice has three times the antioxidant activity of red wine and green tea. According to Dr. Murad, it contains anthocyanidins, such as pentoside of malvidin and petunidin, delphinidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3,5-glucoside, and cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3,5 diglucoside. The biochemical composition is 35 percent to 40 percent polyphenols and 5 percent to 10 percent ellagic acid.

Several years ago, an independent pilot study took place to determine the effect of pomegranate extract on the sun protection factor of volunteers. Eight subjects (five females and three males, ages 18 to 60 with skin type I to III) used pomegranate extract orally and topically. First, he determined the minimal erythema dose (MED). Next, he applied four formulas (standard SPF-4 and SPF-8 lotions with and without pomegranate extract) and assessed MED. Subjects then ingested pomegranate extract daily for five days under supervision. At the endpoint, subjects were again tested for MED.

Based on his research, Dr. Murad said, "You get roughly a 20 percent improvement in SPF, if you include the extract in sunscreen itself. Over and above that, if you take a tablet, you can have an additional 25 percent improvement in SPF."

For the last four years, he has been recommending pomegranate extract. "Especially to people with a history of actinic keratosis and sun damage," he said. "On a clinical basis, I'm seeing evidence of improvement. Patients have less erythema or it clears more quickly."
