HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Double Pomegranate by SuperSmart
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Double Pomegranate is a single-ingredient supplement: pomegranate extract in a capsule form. The extract is the active component; the capsule also contains acacia gum and white rice flour as inactive ingredients to hold it together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Pomegranate extract is possibly effective for high blood pressure (hypertension). For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
There isn't enough reliable evidence in the data we hold to rate it for type 2 diabetes or fatty liver disease.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pomegranate fruit and juice are generally well tolerated as food. This product uses a concentrated extract, and safety data on supplements at this level is limited, so use caution.
The most common side effects are mild digestive issues — diarrhea and gas happen in a small percentage of people, though at high doses nausea, stomach pain, constipation, and vomiting have been reported in a small number of trial participants. Pomegranate extract seems to be generally well tolerated overall.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Double Pomegranate, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives or ACE inhibitors), blood thinners like warfarin, cholesterol drugs especially rosuvastatin, or seizure medications like carbamazepine. Pomegranate extract also theoretically affects several other drug classes metabolized by your liver — the checker on this page will help you see if any of yours are on that list.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you have high blood pressure and aren't on medication, pomegranate extract might be worth a conversation with your doctor. If you take blood pressure meds, blood thinners, cholesterol drugs, or seizure medications, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this — the interactions could affect how those drugs work.
Even without those medications, discuss it with your healthcare provider to make sure it fits your health plan.

Double Pomegranate by SuperSmart Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Double Pomegranate by SuperSmart contains pomegranate extract, which interacts with multiple medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives and ACE inhibitors): pomegranate can lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with these drugs might push your pressure too low. Similarly, it may increase warfarin levels and bleeding risk, and has caused muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) in one patient taking rosuvastatin for cholesterol.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Pomegranate extract also affects how your liver breaks down certain medications through two enzyme pathways. It may raise levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 (a moderate concern) and CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 substrates (minor concerns), though the real-world impact isn't always clear.
One older anti-seizure medication, carbamazepine, might also accumulate to higher levels.
Altogether, these interactions span 923 individual medications. Before starting this product, run your exact medications through the checker on this page, and let your doctor or pharmacist know you're considering it — especially if you take anything for blood pressure, blood clotting, cholesterol, or seizures.

For each ingredient in Double Pomegranate with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Pomegranate extract
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with ACEIs might increase the risk of adverse effects.
Pomegranate juice is thought to have ACE inhibitor-like effects.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Consuming pomegranate juice can modestly lower blood pressure.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro, pomegranate juice inhibits CYP2D6. However, the clinical significance of this potential interaction in humans is not known.
Rosuvastatin (Crestor)
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with rosuvastatin might increase the risk of adverse effects.
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.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase warfarin levels and increase the risk of bleeding. Also, discontinuing regular consumption of pomegranate juice might decrease warfarin levels.
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. 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. The mechanism of this potential interaction is unclear.
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, taking pomegranate with carbamazepine might increase the risk of adverse effects, although research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
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. However, some human research suggests that pomegranate does not significantly inhibit CYP3A4 drug metabolism in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Some animal and in vitro research shows that pomegranate juice inhibits intestinal, but not hepatic, CYP2C9 isoenzyme activity. However, clinical research shows that neither pomegranate juice nor pomegranate extract have a significant effect on CYP2C9 activity in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, but most research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
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. In an animal model, pomegranate juice inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism of carbamazepine and increases levels of carbamazepine by 1.5 times; 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. 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 This suggests that pomegranate is unlikely to significantly affect levels of CYP3A4 substrates in humans.
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
Theoretically, pomegranate might increase levels of tolbutamide, although research suggests this interaction is unlikely to be clinically significant.
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. Despite this evidence, clinical research shows that neither pomegranate juice nor pomegranate extract have a significant effect on CYP2C9 activity in humans. This interaction does not appear to be clinically significant in humans.
