A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study published online in the peer-reviewed journal Phytotherapy Research showed that mouth rinsing with POMELLA extract might affect markers of oral and dental health.

The four-week study on 32 healthy volunteers, performed at The Ohio State University, found that a mouthwash containing 33 mg of POMELLA, used three times daily, significantly benefited measures related to saliva bacterial growth, cell injury and antioxidant status. A placebo rinse did not affect any of these markers significantly.

POMELLA Extract, from Verdure Sciences, is standardized to a patent-pending fingerprint of several marker compounds, including 30% punicalagins. For further information: www.vs-corp.com
