- Pomegranate Juice Metabolism [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]To examine the metabolism of pomegranate by analyzing blood, urine, breast milk and stool samples for ellagic acid and urolithin levels before and after administration of pomegranate extract for 2 weeks during breastfeeding in healthy mothers.
- Microbiome [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]To determine whether pomegranate metabolites are bioavailable to breastfed infants by analyzing ellagic acid in urine and stool from infants of mothers consuming PJ.
- Microbiome [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]To determine whether pomegranate metabolites are bioavailable to breastfed infants by analyzing urolithin in urine and stool from infants of mothers consuming PJ.
