Pomella Extract and MDMA?
Original post in this thread

Hi, haven't been able to find much info out there specifically about punicalagins and if they have MAOI properties. Given that they are powerful anti-oxidants and cardioprotective, I'd like to use the Pomella extract with MDMA. Do you guys have any info on potential negative interactions?
I'm also wondering, if punicalagins break down into ellagic acid, how is this extract different from an extract that claims to be mostly ellagic acid?

Pomegranate extracts from the peel, like Pomella, may have some MAO lowering activity.
Not sure if they are direct inhibitors, but it would be something that would give me caution when mixing with things like MDMA.
Punicalagins can metabolize into ellagic acid and urolithins. However, they have their own direct effects that you will not get with supplementing ellagic acid. Supplementing with something that has high levels of punicalagins gives you the best of both worlds.
