Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been studied for its potential effects on lipid profiles, including triglycerides. Several clinical trials and animal studies suggest that pomegranate juice or extracts may help lower triglyceride levels, though the evidence is not entirely consistent or robust. The proposed mechanisms include the antioxidant activity of polyphenols—especially punicalagins and anthocyanins—which may improve lipid metabolism, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Some human studies have reported that regular consumption of pomegranate juice (typically 200-240 mL daily) led to moderate reductions in triglyceride levels in people with dyslipidemia or metabolic syndrome, while other trials found no significant effect. Meta-analyses generally conclude that pomegranate’s impact on triglycerides is modest at best, but there is enough preliminary evidence to warrant further research.

Traditionally, pomegranate has been used in various cultures to support cardiovascular and metabolic health, although explicit references to triglycerides are rare in historical texts. Its use for this purpose is primarily driven by modern scientific investigation rather than long-standing ethnomedical practice. Overall, while pomegranate shows promise in supporting healthy triglyceride levels, the supporting evidence is moderate (rated 3/5) and not yet conclusive enough for strong clinical recommendations.
