Pomegranate is also a source of citric acid and tannic acid. It is high in antioxidants; and in some studies, Pomegranate has lowered LDL cholesterol levels. Pomegranate has been used medicinally in cases of dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysentery and leprosy. It has also been found to contain some antimicrobial compounds and has been used for centuries as an effective vermifuge, especially in cases of tapeworm infestation and other parasites present in the intestines.
