Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, often associated with reproductive health, particularly in Middle Eastern and Ayurvedic traditions. However, in recent years, scientific research has begun to explore its effects on the reproductive system. Several laboratory and animal studies suggest that pomegranate juice and extracts possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may support reproductive health. For example, some animal studies have shown that pomegranate extract can improve sperm quality and motility, as well as reduce oxidative stress in testicular tissue. Small clinical trials in humans have found that pomegranate juice consumption may have a positive effect on semen quality and erectile function, though the results are preliminary and not yet definitive.
In women, limited research has investigated pomegranate’s effects on fertility or hormonal balance, but some studies indicate potential estrogenic activity of pomegranate compounds, which could theoretically influence reproductive hormones. However, robust human data in this area are lacking. Overall, while there is some scientific evidence supporting pomegranate’s potential benefits for the reproductive system, especially in male fertility, the evidence is not strong enough to be conclusive. Most claims are based on preliminary studies, and more high-quality human research is needed to fully validate these effects.
