13- Kills Intestinal Worms
Parasitic worms can cause serious health problems for humans. But a recent study found that punicic acid can help fight these intestinal parasites. The findings of this study could be crucial to finding more effective treatments for worm infections.
Researchers from China and Saudi Arabia studied how punicic acid affects parasitic worms’ glucose metabolism. Glucose is essential for the survival and reproduction of parasitic worms, so by blocking their access to it, researchers could significantly reduce the number of worms present in a sample group. This shows that punicic acid has the potential as an ant parasitic treatment option.
