Pomegranate works on both sides: it helped lower LDL in studies, and it raised PON1, the enzyme that protects LDL from oxidation.

Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, chemically the same compound as the statin lovastatin. Many people say beet root, garlic or hibiscus lower their reading for a few hours. Keep doing what works for you: [BRAND] isn't meant to replace your diet, your exercise or your prescription.
What the bigger studies didn't find: a larger trial (289 people, 18 months) found no overall difference in artery wall thickness (Davidson et al., Am J Cardiol 2009). On cholesterol, a small study found that concentrated pomegranate juice lowered total and LDL cholesterol in people with diabetes and high cholesterol (Esmaillzadeh et al., J Med Food 2004). Most studies used juice, and a different dose than ours. No study has been run on [BRAND] itself. We'd rather tell you this than have you find out later.
Capsule vs. juice
Same fruit. Without the glass of sugar.
Most pomegranate studies used juice. The problem: an 8-ounce glass carries about 32 grams of sugar, close to a can of soda. That's a lot to drink every day, especially if you're watching your blood sugar too.
[BRAND] is two capsules of pomegranate fruit extract, taken with any drink. Nothing to measure, nothing to refrigerate.
Is a capsule “the same” as the juice? A standardized extract can deliver comparable amounts of pomegranate compounds to the bloodstream as a glass of juice (Seeram et al., 2008). How ours compares depends on its polyphenol content, which is why we publish our lab report.

We list every ingredient, including the ones that aren't the star. You'll never see “no fillers” on our label, because a capsule needs a few, and we'd rather show you which ones.

Is this a replacement for my statin?
No. It isn't a drug and it isn't a substitute for one. Never stop or change a prescription without talking to your doctor.
Will it lower my cholesterol?
In a small study, concentrated pomegranate juice lowered total and LDL cholesterol in people with diabetes and high cholesterol (Esmaillzadeh 2004). Pomegranate also raised PON1 activity, the enzyme that helps protect LDL from oxidation. It isn't a drug, and results vary.*
Can I take it with my statin or blood pressure medication?
Ask your doctor first. There's a sheet in every order to make that conversation easy. One case report involved pomegranate juice and rosuvastatin.
I take a blood thinner. Is it safe?
Ask your doctor first. A few cases have been reported with pomegranate juice and warfarin; your INR may need checking.
Is a capsule as good as the juice?
A standardized extract can deliver pomegranate compounds comparable to a glass of juice (Seeram 2008). How ours compares depends on its polyphenol content, shown in our lab report. The capsule skips the sugar of the juice.
How long until I notice something?
You may not notice anything. This isn't something you feel. Studies ran 8 to 12 weeks of daily use. That's why the guarantee lasts 90 days.
What's actually in it?
700 mg of pomegranate fruit extract per 2 capsules, plus HPMC, rice bran, blueberry powder, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.
Is it standardized? Third-party tested? Made in the USA?
[Answer after the supplier's certificate of analysis. Say nothing before.]
