The antioxidants in POMx are supported by $20 million in initial scientific research.For centuries, the pomegranate has been valued as a symbol of health. Could the legends have some basis in fact? In 1998, research began in an effort to uncover the truth. A number of top scientists in their fields, including a Nobel Laureate, are researching areas including cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, antioxidant activity and other important conditions. To date, multiple pilot, peer-reviewed studies have been completed and published, while a number of others are still in progress.
