What is Pomegranate Extract used for?

The antioxidants found in pomegranate extract combined with phytonutrients, minerals, fatty acids and vitamins work in synergy to plump the skin and promote collagen production.

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract Abnormal sperm were observed 5 weeks after male Balb/C mice were treated with a hydroalcoholic pomegranate fruit extract in a sperm-shape abnormality assay.58 Route of exposure was not defined. The extract was tested at doses of 0, 7, 70, or 700 mg/kg body weight in groups of 5 mice. There as a dose-dependent increase in sperm with amorphous and hookless head. The frequency of abnormal sperm was significant (p < 0 .05) at doses > 70 mg/kg body weight. Oral Punica Granatum Fruit Juice Extract and Punica Granatum Seed Extract The potential effects of pomegranate seed extract (described as husk extract) and pomegranate juice extract on chondrogenesis and osteogenesis in developing embryos was investigated in female Balb/c mice.59 Both test materials were extracted in water. Groups of 10 pregnant mice received the seed extract (1.0 g/kg suspended in 0.2 ml distilled water), the juice extract (3.3 ml/kg suspended in 0.2 ml distilled water), a mixture of both extracts, or distilled water daily in an oral dietary supplement between days 8 and 18 of gestation. On day 19 of gestation, the embryos were weighed and the length of the femur, tibia, and the ossification zones were measured by stereomicroscopy. The bone calcium content of the femurs of the pregnant mice was also measured. Body weight gains of the pregnant mice were not affected by the test material. The pregnant mice that received the pomegranate extracts had an increase in bone calcium content, with a statistically significant increase (P < 0.05) in the group that received pomegranate juice extract. The fetuses from the mixed extract group did have significantly reduced body weights and crown-rump lengths; these effects were not observed in the pomegranate seed extract only and pomegranate juice extract only treatment groups. Significantly increased femur lengths and osteogenesis indices were observed in all extract-exposed groups. No craniofacial abnormalities or limb defects were reported during gross observations; and no pathological changes, including necrosis, abnormal cells, or congestion in longitudinal section of fetuses were observed. The liver and kidneys of the fetuses and the dams were within normal parameters.59 Punica Granatum Fruit Juice The effects of pomegranate juice on sperm quality, spermatogenic cell density, antioxidant activity, and testosterone levels were studied in male Wistar rats.7 Groups of 7 rats received 0.25 ml pomegranate juice with 0.75 ml distilled water, 0.50 ml pomegranate juice with 0.50 ml distilled water, 1 ml pomegranate juice, or 1 ml distilled water via gavage daily for 7 weeks. Body weights, reproductive organ weights, spermatogenic cell density, sperm characteristics, levels of antioxidant vitamins (A, C, and E), testosterone, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activities (glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) were recorded. Analyses were done only once at the end of the study. There were no statistically significant effects on body weights in the treated groups when compared to the control group. Weights of testes, epididymides, seminal vesicles, prostate glands, and Cowper glands were higher in the treated groups when compared to the controls, but the differences were not statistically significant. A significant (p < 0.05) decrease in malondialdehyde level and marked increases in glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities, and vitamin C levels were observed in rats treated with different doses of pomegranate juice. Increases in epididymal sperm concentration, sperm motility, Distributed for Comment Only -- Do Not Cite or Quote spermatogenic cell density, diameter of seminiferous tubules, germinal cell layer thickness, and a decreased abnormal sperm rate were observed with pomegranate juice consumption when compared to the controls.
