Pomegranate contains a high concentration of potentially bioactive compounds throughout the fruit, including the kernel, peel, juice and leaves.

The goal of this study was to give an overview of what scientists and traditional healers know about P. Granatum in terms of its phytochemical composition and medicinal uses. This information could be used to make new medicines in the near future. There have been reports that the plant has a wide variety of phytochemical components: these components include polyphenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanosides, alkaloids, and terpenes. In randomised clinical trials, the pharmacological effects of pomegranate have been found to be beneficial for a variety of diseases and conditions.
