Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has 3 active ingredients. The Superoxide Dismutase/Gliadin Complex (GliSODin) is meant to support antioxidant defense, though we have limited data to review for it.

The other two actives are pomegranate extracts — a 5:1 concentrate and Pomella extract — included for their antioxidant and heart-health properties. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients: maltodextrin, vegetable cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and stearic acid, which serve as fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: endothelial and cardiovascular health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Atherosclerosis, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Metabolic syndrome, Stroke — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Pomegranate is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hypertension (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pomegranate is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Hyperlipidemia.
  • Also on file: Pomegranate is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Atherosclerosis, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Stroke, Metabolic syndrome.

For pomegranate extract, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for high blood pressure (hypertension). However, it's rated possibly ineffective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and diabetes.

There isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We don't have effectiveness data in our files for the Superoxide Dismutase/Gliadin Complex ingredient.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pomegranate

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pomegranate fruit and juice are generally well tolerated as food. However, concentrated extracts like those in this supplement have less safety data, so use caution.

The most common side effects from pomegranate extracts are mild — diarrhea and flatulence occurred in about 2% of people in clinical studies, though higher doses (3,000 mg daily) caused diarrhea in 10% of participants. A small number also reported nausea, stomach pain, constipation, or vomiting at that higher dose.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, pomegranate is rated possibly safe, but you should confirm with your doctor or pharmacist given your individual situation. We have no safety data on file for the Superoxide Dismutase/Gliadin Complex.

Pomegranate 5:1 extract9 drug types · 922 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking pomegranate with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Consuming pomegranate juice can modestly lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
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.

Endothelial Defense With GliSODin by Life Extension: Common Questions

Does Endothelial Defense With GliSODin by Life Extension interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Endothelial Defense With GliSODin has a known interaction with 922 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Endothelial Defense With GliSODin contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this supplement lower my blood pressure too much if I'm already on blood pressure medication?
It's possible. Pomegranate can modestly lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with your medication might push your pressure too low. That's why you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding it — they can decide if it's okay or adjust your dosing.
What are the side effects of this product?
The main ones from pomegranate are mild stomach issues — diarrhea and gas. In studies, these happened in about 2% of people taking regular doses and 10% taking higher doses. A few people also reported nausea, stomach pain, constipation, or vomiting at very high doses. Overall, it's well tolerated by most.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pomegranate is rated possibly safe during pregnancy and lactation, but you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation to get personalized advice. We don't have safety data for the other ingredient (Superoxide Dismutase/Gliadin Complex) in pregnancy, so that's another reason to check with them.
Does this product actually help with high blood pressure?
Pomegranate extract is rated possibly effective for hypertension. The evidence suggests it may help, but it's not a proven cure, so don't use it as a replacement for your regular blood pressure medication.
Will it help lower my cholesterol?
No. Pomegranate extract is rated possibly ineffective for high cholesterol, so the evidence doesn't support it for that purpose.
Is this safe to take with blood thinners like warfarin?
You need to talk to your pharmacist before combining them. Pomegranate may raise warfarin levels and increase bleeding risk, and stopping it suddenly could lower warfarin levels again. Your pharmacist can tell you if you should avoid it or whether it's okay under supervision.
