It is said that pomegranate capsules have a positive effect on many ailments and diseases.They are said to help with symptoms of menopause, prostate problems and erectile dysfunction as well as arteriosclerosis, support healing in various cancers and possibly counteract dementia.Preparations with pomegranate extract have therefore become one of the most popular dietary supplements in recent years.The constantly growing popularity of pomegranate capsules and the ever-expanding product range prompted us to test 14 different preparations from 14 different manufacturers and compare them using various criteria.In this test and detailed guide, you will learn how and whether products with pomegranate extract help and which pomegranate capsules are worth the money.The clear test winner in our product comparison are the pomegranate capsules from Sports & Health, a manufacturer known for its sports nutrition and supplements.In this case, not only was the high product quality and workmanship convincing, the price-performance ratio is also hard to beat.In addition, the preparations manufactured in Germany under correspondingly strict test and control regulations are vegan and produced from purely plant-based substances without artificial or chemical additives.Particular attention is paid to sustainability and organic quality.In addition to our own excellent test results, other customers also confirm the very good effectiveness and tolerability of the capsules in the corresponding product reviews.The reports from consumers report quickly noticeable positive effects on health and general well-being and increased performance in everyday life.With this outstanding performance, the pomegranate capsules have absolutely earned five stars and the test win!The silver medal in our large product comparison goes to the pomegranate capsules from the popular natural product manufacturer Naturtreu.This company also relies on sustainable and organic cultivation of the raw materials used for its products.In addition, the product is vegan and free of any artificial additives.The price is also in no way objectionable for a two-month supply, also because it is a correspondingly high-quality product.Apart from that, product safety is very high due to external quality controls, which customers also mention in the testimonials we have reviewed.In addition, the high effectiveness and good tolerability of the capsules is repeatedly positively emphasized.The health-promoting effects on mind and body also occur quickly, reliably and clearly, but side effects are not mentioned anywhere.This means that the pomegranate capsules from Naturtreu achieve five stars in the rating and second place in the test!The third place in our test and thus the bronze medal goes to the pomegranate capsules from Cellavita.The manufacturer of natural preparations also relies exclusively on natural raw materials for production, which are cultivated under controlled conditions in Germany.In this way, the transport routes are to be reduced and nature is to be protected in the long term.The high product safety and quality guaranteed by the production in Germany is also positively emphasized by other customers in the corresponding product reviews.With the manufacturer's recommended daily dose of one capsule, one product package is sufficient for an incredible 120 days of use.This means that the price-performance ratio is excellent.Consumers are also invariably satisfied, according to reviews, which earns five stars and third place.The pomegranate capsules from the well-known and popular German pharmaceutical and natural medicine manufacturer Sanuvit, which are also highly recommended, did not quite make it onto the podium.Sustainability is also a top priority here: All the raw materials used come from controlled and organic sources, the end products are produced in Germany in a sustainable and resource-saving manner.The 120 capsules contained in a product packaging that protects against light and other environmental influences are easy to take and, according to product reviews, the intake is easy to integrate into everyday life.In terms of price, however, we had to deduct minimal points compared to the top places.As far as effectiveness and tolerability of the pomegranate capsules are concerned, however, there are again a lot of plus points from us.Our own test results are just as positive as the reviews we have seen from other customers.Overall, there are strong four stars and an equally strong fourth place in the test.Although Herba Direct pomegranate capsules are solid, they cannot quite keep up with our test winners.In return, the offered price-performance ratio is very favorable.Each capsule contains 500 mg of high-dose pomegranate extract and 40% ellagic acid.One can contains 90 vegan capsules with a capsule shell made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.They are therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians.It is recommended to take up to 3 pieces daily.The pomegranate capsules are manufactured in Germany with raw materials from the EU and non-EU countries in compliance with strict hygiene and quality standards.The sealed dosing lid of the can is practical, which on the one hand ensures that the product has a long shelf life and on the other hand makes it easier to take and dose this high-quality dietary supplement.Despite dropping a few points, this is a solid product that earns three stars and fifth place in our review.For the production of its pomegranate capsules, Biotiva only uses pomegranates from controlled organic cultivation.In addition, Biotiva does not use release agents, fillers or flow aids in the production of the capsules, which are highly dosed with 550 mg pomegranate extract.Accordingly, it is a natural preparation.According to the manufacturer, the preparations suitable for vegans and vegetarians are lactose-free, gluten-free, soy-free and are made without added sugar.A positive aspect is that a can made from recycled PET is used to hygienically pack the 120 capsules.It is recommended to take up to 2 pieces daily with plenty of liquid with meals.One can is enough for a full 2 ​​months.There are only a few customer ratings for the Biotiva pomegranate capsules and in these ratings the users are comparatively satisfied.In terms of effectiveness, however, this preparation has to rank well behind our better placed products.In the end, three stars and 6th place in the test were recorded.Doppelherz pomegranate capsules contain an interesting combination of pomegranate extract and cranberry extract.In total, one capsule contains 600 mg of cranberry extract and 80 mg of pomegranate extract.According to the manufacturer, this combination of active ingredients can ensure a targeted supply of high-quality vital substances.The effect is also supported by zinc and selenium, two minerals essential for the metabolism, so that the Doppelherz capsules can make a valuable contribution to maintaining health.One pack contains 60 pieces.Doppelherz recommends taking 1 capsule daily with a large glass of water before or with meals.The pack is sufficient for a total of 60 days.There are some good customer ratings for the pomegranate capsules from Doppelherz, but the number is too small for a final rating.In addition, ineffectiveness has been reported in some cases.One of the LifeWize pomegranate capsules contains 500 mg of pomegranate extract with 40% ellagic acid.If up to 3 pieces are taken daily, as recommended by the manufacturer, a daily dose of 1,500 mg pomegranate extract with a total of 600 mg ellagic acid is achieved.One can contains 120 vegan capsules, which are manufactured in Germany according to ISO and HACCP quality standards.According to the manufacturer, the preparation is free of lactose, gluten and genetically modified raw materials, sugar, fillers and colorings.At the recommended daily dose, one can is sufficient for 40 days of use.It is pleasing that the manufacturer offers a 60-day money-back guarantee and promises to refund the full purchase price even if the packaging has already been opened.Although some customers are very satisfied with the product and its tolerability and effectiveness according to product reviews, other consumers have criticized it in some cases.Buyers complain about the sometimes missing effect and the rare occurrence of side effects, which ultimately brings eighth place in the test.Buyers receive a high-dose of 1,000 mg powder extract with 40% ellagic acid per capsule when they order the Health+ pomegranate capsules.This dosage is one of the highest among our test candidates.Of the 1,000 mg, 400 mg are ellagic acid, which is obtained from the seeds of pomegranates.The manufacturer recommends taking 1 to 2 of the capsules daily with a meal and a sufficient amount of liquid.One can contains 60 vegan capsules and lasts for 30 days at the recommended daily dose.The Health+ product is manufactured in Germany in compliance with the highest quality standards.When it comes to product ratings, a rather split picture emerges.The individual dosage causes problems for some users because of the high extract content in a capsule, and comparatively many customers report insufficient or no effectiveness of the preparations.Other users, on the other hand, were satisfied.For this performance we award a midfield place and three stars with place 9.Sanct Bernhard is another renowned German manufacturer of health-promoting products.The pomegranate capsules from the well-known manufacturer each contain 500 mg pomegranate extract with 40% or 200 mg ellagic acid and 30 mg vitamin C.At the recommended daily dose of two capsules, this corresponds to a maximum dosage of 1,000 mg per day.A can of 90 capsules can provide the body with a high amount of antioxidants for a total of 45 days.Unfortunately, the Sanct Bernhard product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians because of its gelatine capsule shell.In the customer reviews, some users express satisfaction with the effect of the Sanct Bernhard pomegranate capsules.However, the majority of buyers would like the manufacturer to be more transparent about the ingredients.In addition, a lack of effect was reported relatively often, which costs more points.In the end we award two stars and tenth place.Simply Supplements Pomegranate makes a dosage statement for its pomegranate capsules that is somewhat confusing for most consumers.According to the manufacturer, one tablet contains 10,000 mg of pomegranate extract.With this amount, the capsules would be very difficult to swallow because of their theoretical size.This information is misleading because the 10,000 mg were standardized at a ratio of 40:1 and ultimately only contain 250 mg with 40% ellagic acid in one tablet.The tablets are manufactured in European production facilities in compliance with EU-wide hygiene and quality standards.It is recommended to take 2 to 3 tablets daily.The content of the can with 240 vegan tablets lasts for a total of up to four months.SimplySupplements tablets are a safe product that is generally safe to take.The processing quality of the capsules is correspondingly high.However, the comparatively large number of negative reports from other customers bring a significant loss of points: accordingly, there is some strong criticism of the lack of effectiveness in some cases.The Fairvital pomegranate capsules contain the usual 500 mg pomegranate extract found in many of these preparations.This extract is obtained from the peel of pomegranates.Because the capsule shell is made of cellulose, this preparation is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.The manufacturer recommends taking up to a maximum of three capsules a day, which corresponds to a daily dose of 1,500 mg pomegranate extract.It should be taken throughout the day with meals and plenty of liquid.Buyers receive a can with a total of 90 pieces, which is sufficient for 30 days of use when taking the maximum daily dose.However, the manufacturer strangely points out that this product is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women, which raises questions.There are currently very few customer ratings for the Fairvital pomegranate capsules, which makes an objective rating difficult.In addition, the effectiveness of the capsules is questioned in many reviews, which ultimately leads to 12th place in the test.True Veda's organic pomegranate capsules are made in India from 100% natural raw materials and came 13th in our test.Pomegranate extract is an important part of Ayurvedic medicine in India.Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information on the amount of pomegranate extract contained in a capsule.It only mentions that the product contains 40% punicalagins.This is a tanning agent from pomegranates that, like ellagic acid, is an effective antioxidant.It is recommended to take 1 to 2 pieces daily with meals and plenty of liquid.One can contains 60 vegan capsules and is therefore sufficient for a maximum of 60 days.In the reviews of the product, the opinions are obviously very divided.While some buyers are satisfied with the quality, effectiveness and value for money of the preparation, others complain: according to other customers, the effect is not satisfactory and side effects such as digestive problems are possible.The Vitamintrend pomegranate capsules provide the body with a total of 1,500 mg of high-quality pomegranate extract, which contains a total of 600 mg of ellagic acid, when taking the three preparations recommended by the manufacturer.Three pieces are the maximum recommended daily dose.The preparation, which is manufactured in Germany without the addition of dyes, stabilizers, magnesium stearate or genetically modified raw materials, is supplied in a sturdy plastic box with a practical dosing lid.A can contains 180 vegan capsules, which are sufficient for a maximum of 60 days of use.Since the Vitamintrend pomegranate capsules are relatively new on the market, there are hardly any authentic reviews.In the few reviews that we found, however, side effects and ineffectiveness were often mentioned, which is why it is not enough for more than one star and the last place.Pomegranate capsules are one of the most well-researched dietary supplements in numerous studies.They contain a concentrated extract of pomegranates, which have been cultivated in the eastern Mediterranean, Asia and the Middle East for thousands of years and are valued for their health-promoting properties.Preparations with the extract from this valuable fruit contain numerous vitamins, minerals, trace elements and flavonoids in a high concentration.The vitamins contained in pomegranate capsules, including vitamins C, A and E, various minerals and trace elements as well as phytochemicals have a wide range of positive effects on various health problems.The antioxidants contained in high concentrations protect the liver and brain from oxidative damage.The extract can lower cholesterol levels and has a positive effect on blood sugar levels.In addition, the pomegranate extract stimulates the metabolism and supports collagen formation in the skin.Pomegranate capsules can also contribute to healing and prevention in the case of erectile dysfunction, prostate diseases or menopausal symptoms.Depending on what pomegranate capsules are taken for, a positive effect can be seen after just a few days, for example with menopausal symptoms.The effect also occurs relatively quickly in the case of inflammatory diseases in the gastrointestinal tract.In other applications, however, an effect only becomes apparent after a longer period of ingestion.In principle, the products should be taken over a longer period, usually several months, in order to achieve a lasting positive effect on various complaints.We are repeatedly asked by our readers on what basis we carry out our tests.The basis for this test with 10 pomegranate capsules is information and facts researched on the Internet on the subject and on the products we have selected.This extensive information helps us to determine the evaluation criteria against which we then carry out the test.Which ingredients did the manufacturer use for his preparation, in this case pomegranate capsules.How were these processed?Where do the active ingredients come from?These and many other questions about the ingredients are the focus of every test of dietary supplements.The answers to these questions always give us important information about the quality and effect of a product.For this reason, ingredients in general are an important evaluation criterion when comparing pomegranate capsules.The price plays an important role in a high-quality dietary supplement such as pomegranate capsules.For many consumers, a high price is synonymous with high quality.In most of our tests, however, we found that this is rarely the case.Many of the products in this test, such as Herba Direct, are comparatively cheap.Therefore, the price was also an important evaluation criterion in this test.Regular readers of our tests know that when it comes to dietary supplements such as pomegranate capsules, we pay special attention to the place of manufacture of the product.We know from experience that products made in Germany are generally much better in quality than products made in the Far East, for example.The reason for this is the high quality and hygiene standards that manufacturers in Germany have to observe and comply with.The production was therefore also an important evaluation and comparison criterion in this test.Most buyers take the opportunity and, as with the pomegranate capsules we tested, give their personal rating and share their experience with other buyers.Customer ratings are therefore always an important source of information for us and an evaluation criterion in most tests.The evaluation takes a lot of time, but customer ratings are indispensable because they complete the picture we can get of a product.Taking pomegranate capsules can be useful in the prevention of certain diseases such as erectile dysfunction, heart attack or stroke, as well as degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's or dementia.In addition, science has established that taking these supplements can also aid in the healing of various medical conditions.In particular, the lowering of cholesterol and blood sugar levels and the treatment of arteriosclerosis or high blood pressure are mentioned here.Pomegranate Capsules were developed for people who want to use the valuable and effective ingredients of pomegranate to prevent diseases and maintain general health.Pomegranate capsules based on pure pomegranate extract can also be a valuable help for people who want to support the healing and alleviation of certain symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, prostate problems, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases or symptoms during menopause.Pomegranate capsules have been a proven dietary supplement for many years and are very popular with many people.Therefore, there are a large number of reviews and experiences from users in online shops, forums and on other websites.We evaluated these testimonials during our research for our test.The result is that most users are very satisfied with the effects and tolerability of this dietary supplement.However, some users also report negative experiences or a lack of effect after taking it.In some cases it was reported that even after taking pomegranate capsules for several weeks, no effect could be determined, for example by a blood test at the doctor's.We think that the quality of the preparations taken and their ingredients are mainly responsible for the fact that not all users have had positive experiences.In several hundred studies carried out worldwide, the effect of pomegranate capsules has been largely proven.In particular, the positive effect on blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and various cancers could be determined.It is interesting that in the past seven years more studies have been carried out on the effects of pomegranate extract than in any previous year.Effects were found both in studies on cell cultures and in animal experiments.The effects, which are probably due to the antioxidant properties of the pomegranate capsules, have now also been observed in clinical tests and in human experimental studiesLike pomegranate fruit, pomegranate capsules contain many important minerals, trace elements, phytochemicals and vitamins.Preparations with this extract therefore generally promote health and can be used for specific purposes.We have compiled the most important areas of application for you in the following sections.Free radicals and declining collagen production are the main causes of premature skin aging.When collagen production decreases, the skin lacks an important support that provides elasticity and resilience.The result is wrinkles and dents.The extract contained in pomegranate capsules has a positive effect on skin renewal due to the large amount of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.The ingredients can intercept harmful oxygen radicals and support the body's own formation of collagen.The result is smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and fewer pigment spots.Pomegranate capsules have a multiple positive effect on cardiovascular diseases.The pomegranate extract regulates the ACE enzyme, which is important for blood pressure.In addition, the extract ensures optimal total cholesterol levels by increasing the amount of HDL cholesterol and reducing LDL cholesterol.By lowering the cholesterol level, the extract can make an important contribution to the treatment and healing of arteriosclerosis.Here, the advantage of pomegranate extract is that, unlike chemically manufactured drugs, it has almost no side effects.In addition, the pomegranate capsules have a so-called antithrombotic effect, which can help to prevent blood clotting and thus protect against a heart attack or stroke.Prostate problems or erectile dysfunction can be counteracted by taking pomegranate capsules.The extract has both a preventive and healing effect.It supports the general health of the prostate and can help to increase the level of testosterone in the blood, which is important for potency.Here, too, the general stimulation of the metabolism by the extract plays an important role.The extract in pomegranate capsules is also said to help improve the quality and mobility of sperm.In type 2 diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress is considered a so-called pathopsychological key mechanism.Various studies on rats have shown that the pomegranate extract contained in pomegranate capsules or a concentrated pomegranate juice reduces the so-called intestinal sugar intake and can lead to a significant reduction in total cholesterol within a few weeks.Clinical studies on the effect of pomegranate extract and pomegranate capsules in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus are still pending.The cells of the human brain are particularly susceptible to oxidative damage caused by so-called reactive oxygen species (ROS).ROS are considered to be primarily responsible for various degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, dementia and multiple sclerosis.The antioxidant effect of pomegranate capsules can help prevent dementia or mitigate the course of the disease.The antithrombotic effect of the extract can help prevent blood clotting and the resulting stroke.Stiftung Warentest has not yet carried out its own test with pomegranate capsules.However, in the September 2009 issue of the test magazine, the testers questioned its effectiveness in the treatment of prostate cancer.However, without mentioning any special preparations.As soon as Stiftung Warentest has carried out a test with food supplements based on pomegranate, we will inform you about the results here and present the test winner.Not everyone can swallow pomegranate capsules well because of their size.If you still want to benefit from the health benefits of this fruit, there are two alternatives.The pomegranate fruit and pomegranate juice.The pomegranate fruit is a natural alternative to pomegranate capsules.The kernels of the fruit, which are surrounded by a solid gel-like substance, are eaten.In principle, the fruit has the same effect as capsules with extract.However, the dosage of the important ingredients is usually significantly lower.The taste isn't for everyone either.Pomegranates can be very acidic.One problem with apples is the ripeness of the fruit.It takes some experience to recognize ripe fruit.Taking pomegranate capsules with a pure extract is simpler and uncritical in terms of taste.Pomegranate juice can also be an alternative to pomegranate capsules.The consumption of pomegranate juice is recommended for inflammation of the digestive tract, as well as for inflammatory and degenerative diseases in general and for symptoms that occur during menopause.The juice is usually extracted from the whole fruit and then fermented for a longer shelf life.Most of the time, the juices are sweetened and diluted with water because of the naturally sour taste of the pomegranate, as are some pomegranate capsules.Like the fruit, pomegranate juice contains all the important ingredients, but the dosage is lower in capsules.So-called mother juice, which is bottled directly after pressing without further additives and dilution with water or other processing, is considered to be particularly valuable.The disadvantages of mother juice compared to pomegranate capsules are the short shelf life and, converted to the active ingredient content, the high price.When taking pomegranate capsules, the dosage and duration of use play an important role.In general, you should follow the manufacturer's dosage recommendations.Depending on what the product is used for, the dosage ranges from around 150 mg to 600 mg daily, for example for cardiovascular problems.It is recommended not to exceed a maximum daily dose of 1500 mg.For most applications, preparations with pomegranate extract should be taken regularly over a period of up to 6 months in order to achieve a lasting effect.If necessary, the intake of the pomegranate capsules can be repeated later.So that you can choose the best pomegranate capsules for your own needs, you should consider various points when buying.We recommend buying organic quality supplements.These preparations with pomegranates from controlled organic cultivation are strictly controlled and are free of pesticides or genetically modified raw materials.Another point to watch out for is the additives used in the capsules.We recommend buying pomegranate capsules with pure extract without other active ingredients and additives such as magnesium stearate, release agents, coloring or preservatives.If you are vegan or vegetarian, you should make sure when making your selection that the capsule shell is not made of gelatine, but of pure vegetable cellulose.You can buy pomegranate capsules in practically every pharmacy and in the large drugstores such as dm, Müller or Rossmann.Occasionally you will also find these preparations at discounters such as Aldi or Lidl.From experience, we can recommend buying dietary supplements online because of the low prices and uncomplicated processing.We recommend buying supplements from Amazon.Here you will find a large selection of different preparations from different manufacturers at very reasonable prices.Ben Lesser is one of the most sought-after experts in the
