Pomegranate is a fruit that originates from Iran and Afghanistan. There are two compounds in pomegranate which are punicalagins and punicic acid. They are responsible for most of the health benefits of pomegranate. They have antioxidant capacities which are higher than vitamins A, C or E! pomegranate juice exhibits the highest antioxidant capacity among other polyphenol-rich beverages such as green tea, orange juice, grapefruit or cranberry juice. Pomegranate is also a good source of fibre, essential for those who are looking to lose weight, and a good source of potassium and iron, which are very important for those suffering from iron deficiency anaemia. Due to its antioxidant compounds (punicalgins and punicic acid), pomegranate provides a variety of health benefits. Studies have shown that it inhibits the growth of some pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, while increasing the growth of commensal bacteria.
