HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Strength Pomegranate 1000 mg by Simply Supplements
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: pomegranate extract at 1000 mg per serving. Pomegranate is a fruit whose concentrated extract supplies polyphenols — plant compounds thought to have antioxidant properties.
The tablet also contains inactive ingredients (microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, and silica) that help form and stabilize the pill.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The data shows pomegranate extract is possibly effective for high blood pressure (hypertension). For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and diabetes, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pomegranate fruit and juice are generally well tolerated as food. However, concentrated extracts like this one have limited safety data, so caution is warranted.
The most common side effects from the extract are mild stomach issues — diarrhea and flatulence appear in a small number of people, though one study found diarrhea in 10% of participants taking a high dose. Nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and vomiting have been reported in a small number of trial participants as well.
Pomegranate root, stem, and peel should be avoided in large amounts due to safety concerns, but this product is the fruit extract. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data rates pomegranate as possibly safe, though you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement during pregnancy or while nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on warfarin (a blood thinner), any blood pressure medication (antihypertensives or ACE inhibitors), rosuvastatin (Crestor), drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 enzymes, or carbamazepine (Tegretol). These are the medication types with documented interactions — some Moderate, some Minor — and your pharmacist can tell you whether your specific drug is affected.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Pomegranate extract may help with high blood pressure, but it's worth checking with your pharmacist first — especially if you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, statins, or drugs metabolized by your liver. Most people tolerate it well, though some experience mild digestive upset.
It's a reasonable option for someone looking to support heart health, but not a substitute for blood pressure medication.

Super Strength Pomegranate 1000 mg by Simply Supplements Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Super Strength Pomegranate 1000 mg by Simply Supplements contains pomegranate extract, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with warfarin (a blood thinner), where pomegranate might raise warfarin levels and increase bleeding risk — and stopping pomegranate suddenly could lower warfarin levels again, destabilizing your blood-thinning effect.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Pomegranate extract also interacts with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives and ACE inhibitors) because it can lower blood pressure on its own, which may amplify the effect of your medication and cause low blood pressure (hypotension). It may raise levels of drugs broken down by a liver enzyme called CYP2D6, and theoretically could increase the risk of muscle damage if you're taking rosuvastatin (a statin).
These are all rated Moderate severity.
Minor interactions are documented with other enzyme-metabolized drugs — CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 substrates — and with carbamazepine (an anti-seizure medication), though clinical evidence suggests these are unlikely to cause real harm. Altogether, these interactions span 911 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Super Strength Pomegranate 1000 mg 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.
