The juice is beneficial by itself but more healthful properties can be better obtained by consuming the seed and seed extract.<\/p>\n<p>One of the nutrients available only in the seed and seed extract is punicic acid, also known as Omega-5. Punicic acid acts in the same manner as tamoxifen, which is good news for women diagnosed with estrogen fueled breast cancer tumors who are concerned about the side effects of tamoxifen such as blood clots, early menopause, risk of stroke, and endometrial cancer. Pomegranate\u2019s chemopreventive properties make it a welcome measure for those wanting to prevent breast cancer or who have a family history of breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Pomegranate seed and seed extract is also welcome preventive measure for men who are concerned about prostate cancer. Pomegranate has been shown to aid the reduction of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels. High levels may indicate an enlarged prostate or even prostate cancer. It also helps reduce prostate cancer metastasis.<\/p>\n<p>Pomegranate\u2019s apoptosis action, or programmed cell death, is great news for anyone concerned about cancer, especially cancer of the breast, prostate, or colon.<\/p>\n<p>When consuming the juice, look for concentrate with no added sugar.
