New Research! The Power of Pomella® for Oral Health

Could a natural ingredient outperform a well-known solution in oral health? New research demonstrates Pomella® Pomegranate Extract might do just that.

A randomised, controlled study was conducted to further explore Pomella®’s benefits on oral health. Over a 21-day period, 60 adult participants were given a 30% Pomella® mouthrinse, which was compared against 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash¹.

The study concluded that both mouthrinses effectively reduced plaque, gingival inflammation and salivary bacterial counts from the baseline, however it was clearly demonstrated that Pomella® had greater short-term antiplaque effects, with more significant plaque reduction recorded at day 5 and 21, compared to CHX.

These latest findings reinforce our existing understanding of Pomella®'s advantages for oral health. Previous studies have also demonstrated that using a Pomella® mouthwash three times daily over a four-week period led to improvements in saliva antioxidant levels, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity, as well as inhibition of bacterial enzymes, when compared to a placebo².

Standardised to punicalagins for science-backed, measurable efficacy, Pomella® Pomegranate Extract offers a sustainably sourced, researched active ingredient, shown also to benefit a range of health categories such as: skin health and skin microbiome, gut health, cardiovascular support and antioxidant benefits among others.
