Is pomegranate juice high in nitrites?

Watch for

• Medication interaction signal: laboratory work and scattered case reports point to inhibition of the CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 enzymes that clear many drugs, with reports of shifted warfarin INR and enhanced blood pressure medication effects.Controlled human studies have often failed to reproduce a clinically meaningful effect, so this is a check with your pharmacist issue rather than a blanket avoid, and it deserves neither panic nor dismissal
• Rated poor for low fermentation SIBO approaches, and moderate on both FODMAPs and excess fructose.Juicing removes the fiber and the seeds, so a 250 ml glass delivers the sugar of several fruits worth of arils with nothing to pace it
• Read the label on anything sold as a pomegranate drink: many are mostly apple or grape juice with a small percentage of pomegranate, and apple juice is rated far worse than pomegranate on FODMAPs, excess fructose and fermentation.The blend, not the pomegranate, is often what causes the bloating
• Tannins and acidity make it astringent and sharp, which can aggravate reflux and mouth ulcers, and the pigments stain teeth and worktops readily
• Salicylate and oxalate are both rated moderate.Neither puts it near the top of those lists, but on a strict elimination phase a daily glass is a real cumulative contribution
