Having tried this juice for 1 week and bought from Tescos my BP has reduced by 15-20%. Many readings taken on a daily basis.

Too good to be true?

///Pomegranate juice may lower blood pressure
11 April 2011 Society for Endocrinology

New research shows that pomegranate juice may help to reduce blood pressure. The findings will be presented today at the 2011 Society for Endocrinology conference in Birmingham, UK.

Researcher Dr Emad Al-Dujaili from Queen Margaret University looked at how a daily dose of pomegranate juice might affect blood pressure. The study consisted of 20 participants: 10 took a daily dose of 500ml pomegranate juice and 10 took a placebo of 500ml water. Measurements of blood pressure and urinary hormone levels were taken before and after 30 minutes of exercise, both before starting the study and one week after pomegranate juice.

People who drank the pomegranate juice showed significant improvements in blood pressure after one week, whilst those in the placebo group showed no significant difference in any variable. After one week of daily pomegranate juice consumption, systolic blood pressure levels were lowered both before and after exercise (pre-exercise: 141±20.7 to 136.1±17.3mmHg, p=0.03 and post-exercise:156.4±17.5 to 149.5±10.2mmHg, p=0.04) as were diastolic blood pressure levels (90.9 ±11.6 to 87.1±8.7mmHg, p=0.04 and 102.6±23.9 to 94.6±20.4mmHg, p=0.05).

Pomegranite Extract is also good for Prostate Cancer, apparently?

I drank a small glassful every morning for about three years - expensive stuff! It didn't seem to make any difference when, 3 months ago I stopped. I believe taking pomegranate juice is very good for the manufacturers of pomegranate juice.

Expensive stuff Khandro? You can buy a litre of pomegranite juice in Tescos for about £1. Nice taste too!

[Khandro]

rov. Please read the lable on the Tesco product to see what percentage of actual pomegranite juice it contains, you might be surprised. I'm talking about the higher prcentage ones as sold in health food shops. Also I'm talking about drinking it 7 days a week for 3 years.

You may be right Khandro but as I said in my original question it has reduced my BP by about 15% and that was the cheaper Tesco stuff.

I really hope it works for you.
