HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultrapome by Physician's Signature

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Proprietary Probiotic” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (40 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ultrapome contains three active ingredients. Ellagic acid is a natural compound found in plants and berries.

Pomegranate skin extract comes from the outer layer of pomegranates and contains concentrated polyphenols. The product also includes Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 6595, a beneficial probiotic bacterium.

These are delivered in a capsule with inactive ingredients including microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mitochondrial integrity and urolithin A production.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Cognitive function, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Muscle strength, Mitochondrial function, Energy metabolism — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Pomegranate is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pomegranate is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Muscle strength.
  • Also on file: Ellagic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function.

The evidence for what Ultrapome does is limited. Pomegranate skin extract is possibly effective for high blood pressure — modest blood pressure reduction has been seen in research.

For other claimed uses like cholesterol, diabetes, or cognitive function, the evidence either shows it's possibly ineffective (cholesterol) or is too thin to rate (diabetes, melasma, PCOS, cognitive function, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). Ellagic acid's effectiveness for bladder cancer, diabetes, cognitive function, melasma, and PCOS is also insufficient to rate — the research data we hold doesn't support a clear benefit for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ellagic Acid 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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. The extract at concentrated supplement doses is less studied; mild gastrointestinal effects like diarrhea and flatulence have occurred in a small proportion of people in trials, and rare cases of nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and vomiting were reported.

Ellagic acid in concentrated supplement form is not well studied in humans — the safety data we hold advises caution or avoidance with concentrated supplements, as food amounts are considered fine. In one trial mixing ellagic acid with another herb, nausea and diarrhea led two of thirty patients to stop the product, though it's unclear which ingredient was responsible.

Pregnancy and lactation data for ellagic acid is not on file; pomegranate is rated possibly safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Pomegranate, Ellagic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 991 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Ultrapome, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin), blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), ACE inhibitors, rosuvastatin (Crestor), diabetes medications, drugs processed by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP3A4, or CYP2C9 enzyme systems, or carbamazepine (Tegretol). Pomegranate skin extract may raise the levels or effects of these medications or lower your blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Ultrapome may be worth considering if you're interested in blood pressure support, where pomegranate has modest evidence. However, if you take blood thinners like warfarin, blood pressure medications, certain heart or cholesterol drugs, diabetes medications, or anti-seizure medications, talk with your pharmacist before starting — pomegranate skin extract can interfere with several of these.

Pomegranate Skin 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.

Ellagic Acid1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Some clinical research shows that ellagic acid reduces fasting and postprandial glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who are on stable doses of hypoglycemic agents such as metformin. Theoretically, taking ellagic acid with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Ultrapome by Physician's Signature: Common Questions

Does Ultrapome by Physician's Signature interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ultrapome has a known interaction with 990 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ultrapome 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.
What's in this product?
Ultrapome has three active ingredients: ellagic acid, pomegranate skin extract, and Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 6595 (a probiotic). The capsule also contains inactive ingredients like cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.
Does pomegranate actually lower blood pressure?
Yes — pomegranate skin extract is rated possibly effective for high blood pressure, and research shows it can modestly lower blood pressure. But if you're already taking blood pressure medications, the combination could lower your pressure too much, so check with your pharmacist.
Will this help with diabetes?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that either ellagic acid or pomegranate works reliably for diabetes — they're both rated insufficient evidence to rate. That said, ellagic acid may lower blood sugar in theory, which matters if you're already on diabetes drugs.
What side effects has pomegranate extract shown?
In trials, the most common were diarrhea and flatulence — seen in a small number of patients at higher doses. Rare cases of nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and vomiting were also reported. Most people who took it had no problems.
Is this safe in pregnancy?
Pomegranate is rated possibly safe in pregnancy and lactation. We don't have safety data on file for ellagic acid in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can I take this with warfarin?
No — you should not take this without your doctor's approval. Pomegranate may raise warfarin levels and increase bleeding risk. One patient's blood-thinning balance stayed stable on the combination, but the interaction is still considered a concern. Always check with your pharmacist before mixing supplements and blood thinners.
