Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Pomeratrol With Pomegranate Extract & Trans-Resveratrol. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Grapes and grape skin extracts have Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status for use in foods in the US (4912).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when the whole fruit of the grape, or extracts of the fruit, seed, or leaf, are used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts. Grape seed extracts have been used with apparent safety in doses up to 200 mg daily for up to 11 months (9182,53016) and in doses up to 2000 mg daily for up to 3 months (53149,53190). Specific grape fruit extracts (Stilvid, Actafarma; Cognigrape, Bionap srl) have been used with apparent safety in doses up to 250-350 mg daily for 3-12 months or 700 mg daily for 6 months (53254,53256,96198). A specific grape leaf extract (AS 195, Antistax, Boehringer Ingelheim) has been used with apparent safety in doses up to 720 mg daily for up to 3 months (2538,52985,53005,53206). A preparation of dehydrated whole grapes, equivalent to 250 grams of fresh grapes daily, has also been used with apparent safety for up to 30 days (18228). A specific grape seed extract (Enovita; Indena SpA) 150 mg twice daily, standardized to provide at least 95% oligomeric proanthocyanins, has been used with apparent safety for up to 16 weeks (108091) ...when used topically and appropriately. Creams and ointments containing grape seed extract 2% or 5% have been used topically with apparent safety for up to 3 weeks (91539,100955). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of other grape plant parts when used topically.
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
Grapes and grape skin extracts have Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status for use in foods in the US (4912). However, whole grapes should be eaten with caution in children aged 5 years and under. Whole grapes can be a choking hazard for young children (96193). To reduce the risk of choking, whole grapes should be cut in half or quartered before being given to children. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of grape when used in medicinal amounts in children.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breast-feeding; avoid using in amounts greater than what is commonly found in foods.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of hu zhang.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when pomegranate fruit or fruit juice is used orally and appropriately. Pomegranate juice has been safely used in studies lasting up to 3 years (4912,8310,13022,13023,13690,14137,14388,17329,91693).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when pomegranate extract is taken orally and appropriately. A specific pomegranate ellagitannin-enriched polyphenol extract (POMx, POM Wonderful) 1-3 grams daily has been safely used for up to 18 months (17729,69261,91686,91695,91697,99100,105269). ...when pomegranate seed oil is used orally and appropriately. Pomegranate seed oil 60 mg daily has been used with apparent safety for up to 12 weeks (91685). ...when a hot water extract of pomegranate seed powder is used orally and appropriately. Pomegranate seed powder 5 grams daily has been used with apparent safety for up to 8 weeks (105270). ...when pomegranate extract is used topically on oral mucosa (13689).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when the pomegranate root, stem, and peel are used orally in large amounts. Bark of the pomegranate root and stem contains the piperidine alkaloids pelletierine, pseudopelletierine, isopelletierine, and methyl isopelletierine. These alkaloids have muscle relaxant properties that have been associated with paralysis and death in animals (13687,13694,13695). Dried pomegranate peel may contain aflatoxin, which is a potent hepatocarcinogen and toxin (92018).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: POSSIBLY SAFE
when the fruit or fruit juice is consumed orally and appropriately (13686,105267).
There is insufficient reliable information available regarding the safety of using other forms of pomegranate or other parts of the plant during pregnancy or lactation; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used in amounts found in foods (2030).

There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of resveratrol when used by mouth in larger amounts as medicine.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used in amounts found in foods (2030).
Resveratrol is found in grape skins, grape juice, wine, and other food sources. However, wine should not be used as a source of resveratrol during pregnancy and lactation.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Pomeratrol With Pomegranate Extract & Trans-Resveratrol. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Details
|
Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
Details
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water (53177). Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.
|
Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Details
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2 (2539).
|
It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
Details
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes (11094,53011,53089). However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism (11094). The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.
|
Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
Details
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes (53011). However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, grape seed extract might increase the levels of CYP2E1 substrates.
Details
In vitro and animal research suggests that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes (52949). However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
Details
|
Theoretically, long-term intake of grape seed extract might decrease the effects of midazolam.
Details
Animal research shows that subchronic ingestions of grape seed extract can increase the elimination of intravenous midazolam by increasing hepatic CYP3A4 activity. Single doses of grape seed extract do not appear to affect midazolam elimination (53011).
|
Grape juice might decrease phenacetin absorption.
Details
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) (2539).
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the effects and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
Details
In animals, blood and tissue levels of carbamazepine were increased when given in combination with hu zhang. It is thought that increased levels of carbamazepine are due to cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibition (101418). This interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A1.
Details
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme (21733). This interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1B1.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP1B1 enzyme (70834). This interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2C19 enzyme (70896). This interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2E1 enzyme (7864,70896). Also, a pharmacokinetic study shows that taking resveratrol 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to taking a single dose of chlorzoxazone 250 mg increases the maximum concentration of chlorzoxazone by about 54%, the area under the curve of chlorzoxazone by about 72%, and the half-life of chlorzoxazone by about 35% (95824). Chlorzoxazone is used as a probe drug for CYP2E1.
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Details
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme (7864,70896). However, a clinical study in adults with NAFLD found that adding resveratrol 3000 mg daily for 8 weeks did not necessitate dose adjustments to any established medications metabolized by CYP3A4 (91327).
|
Theoretically, hu zhang might competitively inhibit the effects of estrogen replacement therapy.
Details
|
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with ACEIs might increase the risk of adverse effects.
Details
Pomegranate juice is thought to have ACE inhibitor-like effects (8310).
|
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Details
|
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with carbamazepine might increase the risk of adverse effects, although research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Details
Animal research shows that pomegranate juice may inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) metabolism of carbamazepine and increase levels of carbamazepine by 1.5 times without prolonging the elimination half-life. This suggests that pomegranate juice inhibits intestinal CYP3A4, but might not inhibit hepatic CYP3A4 (13188). However, some human research suggests that pomegranate does not significantly inhibit CYP3A4 drug metabolism in humans (16711,16712,17326).
|
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Details
|
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Details
In vitro, pomegranate juice inhibits CYP2D6 (13703). However, the clinical significance of this potential interaction in humans is not known.
|
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, but most research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Details
Pomegranate contains several polyphenols that have individually been shown to inhibit CYP3A4. However, there is contradictory evidence about the effect of whole pomegranate juice on CYP3A4 activity. In vitro, pomegranate juice significantly inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme, with comparable inhibition to grapefruit juice (13188,16711,17326). In an animal model, pomegranate juice inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism of carbamazepine and increases levels of carbamazepine by 1.5 times (13188); however, in human volunteers, drinking a single glass of pomegranate juice 240 mL or taking 200 mL daily for 2 weeks does not significantly affect levels of the CYP3A4 substrate midazolam after oral or intravenous administration (16711,17730). Another study in healthy volunteers shows that consuming pomegranate juice 300 mL three times daily for three days also does not significantly affect levels of simvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate (16712,91696) This suggests that pomegranate is unlikely to significantly affect levels of CYP3A4 substrates in humans (17326).
|
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with rosuvastatin might increase the risk of adverse effects.
Details
In one case, a patient taking rosuvastatin 5 mg every other day in combination with ezetimibe 10 mg daily developed rhabdomyolysis after drinking pomegranate juice 200 mL twice weekly for 3 weeks. This patient had a history of elevated creatine kinase levels while not receiving any statin treatment. This suggests a possible underlying myopathy and predisposition to rhabdomyolysis (14465).
|
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of tolbutamide, although research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Details
Animal research shows that pomegranate juice inhibits the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) metabolism of tolbutamide. Pomegranate juice increased tolbutamide levels by 1.2 times without prolonging the elimination half-life. This suggests that pomegranate juice inhibits intestinal CYP2C9, but might not inhibit hepatic CYP2C9 (17327). Despite this evidence, clinical research shows that neither pomegranate juice nor pomegranate extract have a significant effect on CYP2C9 activity in humans (91694). This interaction does not appear to be clinically significant in humans.
|
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase warfarin levels and increase the risk of bleeding. Also, discontinuing regular consumption of pomegranate juice might decrease warfarin levels.
Details
In one case report, a patient had a stable, therapeutic bleeding time, as measured by international normalized ratio (INR), while taking warfarin in combination with pomegranate juice 2-3 times per week. The patient became subtherapeutic within about 10 days after discontinuing pomegranate juice, which required a warfarin dose increase (17328). In another case report, a patient with a stable INR for over one year presented with an INR of 14. The patient noted no changes to medications or diet but did report consuming around 3 liters of pomegranate juice over the previous week. The patient's INR stabilized upon moderation of pomegranate juice consumption (24273). The mechanism of this potential interaction is unclear.

Details
In vitro research shows that resveratrol can inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes (70896). However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
|
Resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Details
In vitro research suggests that resveratrol inhibits CYP2E1 isoenzyme (7864,70896). Also, a pharmacokinetic study shows that taking resveratrol 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to taking a single dose of chlorzoxazone 250 mg increases the maximum concentration of chlorzoxazone by about 54%, the area under the curve of chlorzoxazone by about 72%, and the half-life of chlorzoxazone by about 35% (95824). Chlorzoxazone is used as a probe drug for CYP2E1.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Pomeratrol With Pomegranate Extract & Trans-Resveratrol. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, the whole fruit, as well as the seed, fruit, and leaf extracts, seem to be well tolerated.
Topically, grape seed extracts seem to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, dyspepsia, headache, joint pain, and nausea.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Anaphylaxis to grape skin has been reported.
Dermatologic ...Orally, mild hair thinning has been reported in a patient taking a specific grape leaf extract AS195 KG) (2538). Urticaria (hives) has also been reported with this same extract (53206). Cases of contact dermatitis have been reported in grape workers, including those working in California vineyards (53270,53272,53275).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, abdominal pain and nausea have been reported with use of grape seed extract, but these effects typically occur at rates similar to placebo (9182,13162). In a case report of a 57-year-old man, intermittent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea occurred over a 10-day period and improved once grape seed extract was stopped (96764). Gastrointestinal adverse effects have also been reported with use of a different grape seed extract (Entelon, Hanlim Pharm). However, the specific types of gastrointestinal effects were not described (100954). A specific grape leaf extract AS195 (Antistax, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG) has reportedly caused flatulence, mild constipation, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, dyspepsia, dry mouth, and retching (2538,52985,53206). Diarrhea, gastrointestinal distress, indigestion, and aversion to taste have been reported with use of Concord grape juice (52972,53166,53175,53181,53199). Loose stools have been reported in a clinical trial of grape pomace (99270). Bowel obstruction caused by intact grapes and grape seeds has been described in case reports (53241,53284,53278). Excessive consumption of grapes, dried grapes, raisins, or sultanas might cause diarrhea due to laxative effects (4201).
Hematologic ...Orally, one case of leg hematoma following a minor trauma was reported in a person using grape leaf extract (2538). Also, one case of bruising was reported in a person drinking Concord grape juice daily for 2 weeks (52972).
Immunologic ...Orally, there is one report of an anaphylactic reaction to oral grape skin extract, which included urticaria and angioedema (4073).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, musculoskeletal disorders, including back pain, have been reported with use of a specific grape leaf extract AS195 KG) (2538,53206). Joint pain and lumbago have been reported with use of grape seed extract, but these effects occur at rates similar to placebo (91541).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, headache has been reported with use of grape seed extract, but this effect occurs at rates similar to placebo (9182,91541). A specific grape leaf extract AS195 (Antistax, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG) has reportedly caused dizziness, tiredness, headache, and sleep problems (2538,53206). As a class, nervous system adverse effects have been reported with use of a specific grape seed extract (Entelon, Hanlim Pharm). However, the specific types of adverse neurologic effects were not described (100954).
Ocular/Otic ...Orally, ocular adverse effects have been reported with use of a specific grape seed extract (Entelon, Hanlim Pharm). However, the specific types of ocular adverse effects were not described (100954).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, nasopharyngitis and oropharyngeal pain have been reported with use of a specific grape leaf extract AS195 KG) (53206). Sore throat, cough, allergic rhinitis, and nasopharyngitis have been reported with use of grape seed extract, but these effects occur at rates similar to placebo (9182,91541). One case report describes a 16-year-old female who developed increased levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) following skin-prick exposure to grape vine pollen, as well as positive test responses following bronchial and conjunctival provocation (53301). Reduced forced vital capacity has been described in California grape workers (53080,53081). Occupational eosinophilic lung was diagnosed in a grape grower with a history of asthma. Respiratory exposure to sulfites in grape was implicated as the cause of the adverse reaction (53285).
Other
...Orally, grape products can cause adverse effects due to contamination with pesticides or mycotoxins.
Some evidence has shown that pesticides used in vineyards may remain on grape surfaces post-harvesting. For example, the fungicide folpet sprayed on grapevines has been shown to remain on the grape surface. Although there was minimal penetration of the epicuticular wax, it showed high resistance to washing (52935). Carbaryl has been identified in over 58% of juice samples collected in Canada. This pesticide reportedly occurred more frequently in grape than in other juices. However, estimates of short-term intake were below proposed acute reference doses (53003).
Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin that is suspected to be nephrotoxic, teratogenic, hepatotoxic and carcinogenic and has been identified in grape juice, frozen grape pulps, and red and white wine sold in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, the highest levels identified in grape products were lower than the established virtually safe dose of 5 ng/kg of body weight daily (53010,53004). Ochratoxin A has also been identified in red, but not white, grape juice marketed in Switzerland, Canada, and the U.S. (53292,53020).
General ...There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of hu zhang.
General
...Orally, pomegranate fruit juice is generally well tolerated.
Pomegranate fruit extract and seed oil seem to be well tolerated. Pomegranate root, stem, and peel should not be used orally in large amounts. Topically, pomegranate fruit extract seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Oral: Diarrhea, flatulence.
Cardiovascular ...In one clinical trial, 2% of patients experienced hyperlipidemia and hypertension after consumption of pomegranate juice (69175). However, most clinical research shows that pomegranate does not increase cholesterol or blood pressure and may actually improve these parameters in some patients (8310,13022,13023,69168,69373,69374).
Dermatologic ...Topically, pomegranate may cause urticaria (hives) in some patients (8445).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, pomegranate may cause mild gastrointestinal adverse effects. In one clinical study, drinking pomegranate juice 8 ounces daily caused diarrhea and flatulence in 2% of patients (69175). In another clinical study, taking pomegranate extract (POMx, POM Wonderful LLC) 3000 mg daily caused diarrhea in 10% of patients. This dose of pomegranate extract also caused nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, gastrointestinal upset, and vomiting in a small number of patients (91695).
Immunologic
...Orally, pomegranate fruit or seeds may cause allergic reactions.
These allergic reactions occur more commonly in people who are allergic to other plants (7674). In rare cases, pomegranate fruit can cause angioedema. Angioedema seems to occur without warning and in people who have eaten pomegranate for many years. Patients should be told to stop eating pomegranate if swelling of the tongue or face develops (7673). In one report, a patient experienced pomegranate-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The patient developed widespread urticaria (hives) and lip edema after eating pomegranate seeds and then exercising (17331). In another report, an atopic patient experienced an allergic reaction to pomegranate fruit. Symptoms included urticaria (hives), facial angioedema, and hypotension (91692).
Topically, pomegranate may cause contact hypersensitivity characterized by urticaria (hives), angioedema, rhinorrhea, red itchy eyes, and dyspnea arising within a few minutes of exposure (8445).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, pomegranate juice may cause nasal congestion, but this event is rare. In one clinical study, pomegranate juice was associated with nasal congestion in 2% of patients (69175). There is also one case report of a 7-year-old asthmatic child who developed bronchospasm moments after ingesting several pomegranate seeds (69149).
General
...In foods, resveratrol is well tolerated.
When used orally in higher doses, as well as topically or intranasally, resveratrol seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, and loose stools.
Dermatologic
...Orally, there is one case of a pruritic skin rash that occurred in a clinical trial.
The rash resolved two weeks after stopping resveratrol (109163).
Topically, a case of allergic contact dermatitis has been reported after applying a facial cream (Resveratrol BE, Skinceuticals) containing aqueous resveratrol 1% in combination with Baikal skullcap root extract 0.5%. Patch testing identified a positive reaction to both ingredients (110024).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, mild gastrointestinal discomfort with increased diarrhea or loose stools has been reported, especially when resveratrol is taken in doses of 2. 5-5 grams daily (71042,71052,91327,95830,109163,109164,109167).
Hematologic ...In one clinical study, a patient developed severe febrile leukopenia and thrombocytopenia after taking oral resveratrol 500 mg three times daily for 10 days. Upon re-exposure to resveratrol, febrile leukopenia recurred (109163).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, resveratrol has been associated with muscle cramps in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The causality of this adverse effect has not been established (95830).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, resveratrol has been associated with headache, fatigue, and memory loss in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The causality of these adverse effects has not been established (95830).
