Abstract

Anardana Goli, a traditional polyherbal formulation built around dried pomegranate seeds, presents a unique convergence of polyphenol-rich bioactives and spice-derived essential oils. From a microbiological perspective, its therapeutic potential is closely linked to the gut microbiota, which serves as both a biotransformer and a target of its functional ingredients.
