Significant research and studies have shown pomegranate to have considerable health benefits for users.  Extracts of the juice, bark, leaves and rinds have all been linked to have some medical impact to include antioxidant activity, anticancer, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.  Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been used successfully to treat patients with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and HIV.  Rich in antioxidants and antibacterial properties, it is clear why researchers deem this “nature’s power fruit,” and are actively further investigating the therapeutic benefits it offers.
