from eMedTV.com- In the United States, the manufacturing of dietary supplements (such as pomegranate supplements) is not closely regulated. If you choose to use a pomegranate supplement, it is important to choose a trustworthy manufacturer. It is a good idea to look for the "USP" symbol, as this means that the supplement has been tested and contains the right ingredients in the right amounts. Your pharmacist is a good resource for information about which manufacturers are the most reputable.
- If you have any chronic health problems or take any prescription medications, it is probably a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before using pomegranate supplements or extracts (or before consuming an unusually large amount of pomegranate juice or fruit).
- If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or pomegranate dosing in general, please talk with your healthcare provider.
