Many health food stores sell pomegranate pills, and I was wondering if there was any truth to these claims and if the efficacy of pills is equivalent to drinking the actual juice, which can be expensive. And if the pills are beneficial, how many mg. per day should one take? Or is it all just another "herbal remedy" having its 15 minutes of fame? I appreciate your help!

For certain fresh pomegranate juice is better than any pill. Juice of the pomegranate has been found effective in reducing heart disease risk factors, including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation, all of which are steps in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
