HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pomegranate Seed Oil by Terry Naturally
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
This product contains 2 active ingredients: organic pomegranate seed oil and pomegranate fruit extract. Both come from the pomegranate fruit and deliver polyphenols and other plant compounds that give pomegranate its effects.
The softgel capsule also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, purified water, sunflower lecithin, silica, annatto suspension, and rosemary leaf extract—that serve as the capsule shell, preservative, and flow agents.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For high blood pressure, pomegranate seed oil is rated possibly effective—research suggests pomegranate can modestly lower blood pressure. For high cholesterol and diabetes, the evidence rates it as possibly ineffective.
For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, we don't hold enough reliable evidence to rate it one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pomegranate fruit and juice are generally well tolerated as food. Pomegranate seed oil and fruit extract also appear to be well tolerated.
The main side effects are mild—some people experience diarrhea or gas, usually affecting 2–10% of those taking it depending on the dose and form. A small number of trial participants on higher doses reported nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, or stomach upset.
One rare case tied pomegranate juice to a serious muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) in a patient also taking rosuvastatin, though that person had other risk factors. For pregnancy and lactation, the available data rates pomegranate as possibly safe, but there isn't enough information on concentrated supplements—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medication), ACE inhibitors, warfarin, rosuvastatin, or drugs metabolized by CYP2D6—all carry Moderate interaction risk. Also mention if you're on carbamazepine or any drug processed through CYP2C9 or CYP3A4.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Pomegranate Seed Oil by Terry Naturally is worth considering if you're looking for support for blood pressure—the evidence leans that way. If you take blood pressure medication, ACE inhibitors, warfarin, rosuvastatin, or drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP2D6 enzyme, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it.
It's generally well tolerated, though diarrhea and gas are common. Clear it with your own healthcare provider first, especially if you're on any chronic medications.

Pomegranate Seed Oil by Terry Naturally Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Terry Naturally's Pomegranate Seed Oil interacts with medications through its pomegranate seed oil and pomegranate fruit extract content.
The most serious concerns are Moderate-severity interactions with blood pressure drugs (antihypertensive medications), ACE inhibitors, warfarin (a blood thinner), and rosuvastatin (a cholesterol drug). Pomegranate can lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with blood pressure medications risks bringing your pressure too low.
With warfarin, pomegranate may raise drug levels and increase bleeding risk—and stopping pomegranate suddenly could lower warfarin levels and reduce its protective effect.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Additionally, pomegranate may affect how your body breaks down certain drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, a liver enzyme responsible for clearing many common medications—though we don't yet know how significant this is in real-world use. It also theoretically affects drugs processed through CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, though research suggests those interactions are less likely to matter clinically.
Minor interactions are documented with carbamazepine (an antiseizure medication).
Additionally, Altogether, these interactions span 923 individual medications. Use the search tool below to check your exact prescriptions before starting this product, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist—especially if you're on blood pressure medication, warfarin, rosuvastatin, or any drug that targets heart rhythm or involves liver metabolism.

For each ingredient in Pomegranate Seed Oil 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.
organic Pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed oil
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.
