As for myself , I took the concentrate twice a day ( One tablespoon per serving)

Medical benefit found from clinical studies : 

1. The continuous consumption of the juice can improve blood to the heart.
2. It may help stop plaque from building in the blood vessel, by keeping the cholesterol in less damaging form.
3. It may slow prostate cancer growth.

More recent research has found that eight ounces of pomegranate juice daily for three months improved the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle of patients with coronary heart disease (American Journal of the College of Cardiology, Sept. 2005). 

Long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may help combat erectile dysfunction (Journal of Urology, July 2005).

Researchers report that they are rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000). 




For Pregnant Woman
Ref : 

  1. Pomegranates contain a number of phytochemical compounds, which have been proven to be good for your heart. They particularly help lower blood pressure, which is great news if you’re in the later stages of pregnancy or suffering from pre-eclampsia when your blood pressure is likely to be elevated.
  2. Rich in vitamin C, pomegranates are excellent for the immune system and when your body is busy growing your baby, it needs all the extra immunity it can get.
  3. Studies have shown that eating pomegranate has a positive effect on bone health and density – perfect for giving your developing baby a boost.
  4. Pomegranates contain more antioxidants than cranberries and green tea, making them ideal for all-round health and nutrition. 
  5. Many skincare products contain pomegranate juice. Its oils penetrate deeply into the skin so it helps to combat dryness, breakouts and promote healthy cell regeneration.
  6. It may help babies prevent brain injuries.

 For Men
Ref : http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/can-pomegranate-men-2993.html
  1. Lower heart disease risk factor
  2. Stopping prostate cancer from metasizing
  3. Increase testosterone level and maintain physical health
  4. The ellagic acid in pomegranates may prove useful as a preventive measure for people with blood sugar issues.

 For the whole family
Ref : http://www.family-health-info.com/pomegranate-health-benefits.html
  1. Based on extensive clinical studies on pomegranate, it is proven that it contains very high anti oxidative property, anti inflammatory, anti sclerotic and anti cancerogenic properties.
  2. Pomegranate seed oil consists of more than 80% valuable fatty acids (e.g. Puninic, linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic, and palmitoleic acids).
  3. Pomegranate seed oil and juice also contain phytosterols (weak estrogens), which according to recent data play an important role in preventing a range of diseases, including hormonally-dependant cancers.
Insya Allah with all the good benefit found from the clinical studies done by various labs all over the world, I definitely will try at my best to consume this barakah juice together with olive oil, honey & habbatus sauda in my family diet.

How about you?
