|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Plant-derived whole foods and food-based supplements may support recovery through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vascular, and metabolic mechanisms; however, the available evidence remains heterogeneous. | 1 | Nguyen DHN (2026) | Plant-Derived Whole Foods and Food-Based Supplements on Post-Exercise Recovery in Physically Active Individuals: A Systematic Review of Human Intervention Trials. |
| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool for randomized trials and ROBINS-I for the non-randomized intervention study. | 1 | Nguyen DHN (2026) | Plant-Derived Whole Foods and Food-Based Supplements on Post-Exercise Recovery in Physically Active Individuals: A Systematic Review of Human Intervention Trials. |
| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Among the 35 randomized trials assessed using RoB 2, 11 were judged to have a low overall risk of bias and 24 raised some concerns; none was judged to have a high overall risk of bias. | 1 | Nguyen DHN (2026) | Plant-Derived Whole Foods and Food-Based Supplements on Post-Exercise Recovery in Physically Active Individuals: A Systematic Review of Human Intervention Trials. |

| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Background Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) commonly follows strenuous exercise and is marked by delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduced muscle strength, and increased creatine kinase (CK) and C-reactive protein (CRP), which may impair recovery and subsequent training. | 1 | Xu KX (2026) | Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. |
| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | In the primary analysis, only pomegranate and tart cherry significantly reduced 48 h DOMS vs. | 1 | Xu KX (2026) | Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. |
| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | For secondary outcomes, tart cherry was the only supplement associated with significant DOMS reduction at both 24 h and 72 h. | 1 | Xu KX (2026) | Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. |
| Pomegranate Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Plant-derived polyphenols such as anthocyanins or flavanols are widely used to support recovery, but their comparative effects remain uncertain. | 1 | Xu KX (2026) | Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. |
