Thanks for this information. We, in Australia, have one litre bottles

of organic Pomegranate Juice from Georgia in our supermarket.

It is tart but a great drink.

To bypass the buying of the incredibly delicious juice AND middle-man supplementation; pomegranate vinegar. Sweet, tart and naturally probiotic.

Many Thanks for sharing this, Doc. Did you have any thoughts on the action of pomegranate (or any other interventions that come to your mind) on Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) that have been attributed to a range of pathologies including PCOS that this article touches upon. I found this to be useful in setting the context of understanding the role of AGEs. A lot has been said about insulin resistance but I reckon this is another area that warrants more attention and research especially given its contribution to chronic inflammation and related diseases.

"These findings strongly suggest that a synbiotic-infused, pomegranate beverage may improve the hormonal balance in patients with PCOS, while adding improved insulin resistance, staving off diabetes and improving BMI and body weight, while also improving the figure." - Thanks Jen. Does such a beverage exist? Peace.

Thanks. I came across something stating PCOS can be a result of parasitic infection and with treatment has total recovery. Don't remember details, although from memory the name of specific parasite was given. As myself not sufferer (and don't know anyone who is) I only read out of curiosity.
