Official title

Pomegranate Products for Prevention of Common Cold and Influenza-Like Symptoms: A Double- Blind, Placebo-Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Pomegranate has a long history of use in folk medicine. There is vast data on the health benefits of pomegranate fruit and juice. Multiple studies have established the strong antioxidative effects of pomegranate polyphenols (primarily the ellagitannin punicalagin) and their health effects. A vast number of animal and human clinical studies have provided evidence on effect of pomegranate products on improving blood lipid profile, reducing blood pressure, improving endothelial function, anti-tumor activity, and its anti-atherosclerotic activity. We studied the protective effect of a pomegranate concentrate (POM Flu and Cold Formula®) in decreasing the incidence and duration of influenza-like illnesses and common cold among healthy adults.
