Pomi-T® for cancer: what you need to know

• Pomi-T® is a food-based supplement containing green tea, broccoli powder, turmeric powder, and pomegranate whole fruit powder.
• In one study, men with localized prostate cancer treated with Pomi-T® showed a substantially lower percentage rise in PSA and possible improvements in bowel and urinary function.
• Pomi-T® is generally safe, with only minor gastrointestinal side effects.
• Pomi-T® is not a standalone treatment for cancer; it is a complementary therapy used alongside standard medical care to support treatment and/or well-being.

What is Pomi-T®?

Pomi-T® is a food-based supplement containing green tea, broccoli powder, turmeric powder, and pomegranate whole fruit powder; only one clinical study has investigated its use for cancer care. 

The individual components in Pomi-T® are each rich in polyphenols—natural plant-based phytochemicals that are associated with lowering risk for a number of chronic illnesses.

We have found only one clinical study investigating the effects of Pomi-T® on cancer outcomes. This study found a substantially slower rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels among men with localized prostate cancer, but no evidence to date shows any impact on disease progression or survival.

Safety

• Generally safe, with only minor gastrointestinal side effects
• People with allergies to pomegranate, caffeine, broccoli, or turmeric should not use Pomi-T®
• Known interactions, consult with your healthcare provider before adding to your regimen
