FAQ'S
We have put as much information as possible on the website, but we are restricted by MHRA guidelines because Pomi-T® is not classed as a medicinal product (see disclaimer).
Q. What is in Pomi-T ®? A vegetarian capsule containing green tea, pomegranate extract, broccoli and turmeric.
Q. Why was Pomi-T developed? It was design by a panel of doctors, scientists and nutritionist lead by an oncologist from Cambridge University UK specifically for a national randomised control trial. As well as their own research the panel looked how the polyphenols within these ingredients could work together to have a synergistic benefits.
Q. Does Pomi-T contain any additives? There are no preservatives, colours or flavours. Pomi-T does not contain sugar unlike pomegranate juice which can contain a lot of sugar.
Q. Are the ingredients organic? These are completely natural products but we cannot claim they are registered with the relevant organic certification bodies within the source countries.
Q. Is there any published scientific evidence of a benefit for Pomi-T? The Food and Drug Authority (FDA) and the UK’s Medicines and Health Regulatory Authority (MHRA) has classed Pomi-T as a food supplement and not a medicinal product so it cannot be recommended for any medical condition or claim any health benefits. That said, Pomi-T is in a unique position that it was evaluated in a national scientific study, a double blind placebo controlled randomised trial, the results of which were presented at the World’s largest and most prestigious cancer conference (ASCO).
Q. What is the recommended intake? Pomi-T® is not a drug so there is no specific dosage and it is designed to be taken as part of a healthy balanced diet. Daily dosage depends on the food intake for that day. For example, a day with a good diet including plenty of dark green vegetables, berries, fruit and teas would only require one tablet, whereas, on an average day then 2-3 would be better. Men within the Pomi-T trial took 2 tablets a day.
Q. How can you increase the absorption and bioavailablity of the ingredients of Pomi-T? The absorption of curcumin is increased by taking it with oily foods such as a good quality fish oil. The bioavailability of all four ingredients but particularly curcumin is increased by pepper so be very generous with pepper during meal times and take Pomi-T® with or around meal times.
Q. Can I take Pomi-T® during chemotherapy? A laboratory test using cells in petri dishes suggest that high doses of polyphenols can have anti-oxidant activity which may potentially reduce the action of chemotherapy. This has not actually been substantiated in humans and there are ongoing studies registered with the National Cancer Institute to try to find out if they can reduce side effects of chemotherapy without reducing the effect.
In view of this potential interaction, until this issue has been scientifically resolved, consumption of Pomi-T is best avoided 1 day before and 3 days after the administration of chemotherapy medication.
Q. Why were these four ingredients combined by the trial design committee? The hypothesis of the specific food blend within Pomi-T is that combining foods from different categories (fruit, vegetable, spice and leaf) provides a broad range of polyphenols, each with their unique properties, whilst at the same time avoiding over-consumption of one particular type which could lead to excess if taken in the long term.
Q. Should I take Pomi-T at a certain time of day? Pomi-T can be at a dosage of one capsule twice a day. You can take it with or without food, but those with sensitive stomachs are recommended to take it after food, for example after breakfast and after lunch which will give you protection throughout the day.
Q. How much caffeine is in Pomi-T? A Pomi-T capsule contains the equivalent of 150mg of green tea with 2.4 mg of caffeine. For reference, a cup of decaffeinated coffee has 2-12 mg caffeine, and a can of coke has 32 mg caffeine.
Q. Do I have to take Pomi-T every day? Can I take every alternate day? Polyphenols act as antioxidants and provide the anti-inflammatory power contained in fruits and vegetables. They protect cells and body chemicals against tissue damage caused by free radicals. Hence, one is strongly recommended to consumer Pomi-T® daily.
