“POM Juice continues to live up to its long-held and deserved reputation as the go-to antioxidant beverage for health-conscious consumers looking to maximize their return at the grocery store,” said Derrick Miller, president of POM Wonderful, in the recent release. “Our brand’s number one priority is to bring the benefits of pomegranates to the masses, and this analysis further underscores that POM truly is Health in a Bottle.”

Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, the unstable molecules that can cause damage to our bodies over time. While the human body naturally maintains everyday levels of these free-radical molecules, external factors, including smoking, stress, and environmental pollutants, can escalate their production. Enjoying the antioxidant power of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is just one more way to help consumers combat free radicals to better protect themselves.

To collect the antioxidant content and potency data, Gallic Acid Equivalents (GAE) and Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) were used to measure each of the beverages. Beverage categories were comprised of top-selling products based on U.S. unit sales, except for red wine, flavored antioxidant water, and flavored kombucha, which were based on selected bottled varietals or berry-flavored options from top brands.

POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is thoughtfully crafted to optimize the antioxidant goodness of pomegranates. The Wonderful variety of pomegranates is whole-pressed to release polyphenols in the rind, pith, and arils, optimizing potential antioxidant benefits. The ruby-red arils contain anthocyanins, and the hard rind and white pith contain ellagitannins, providing an easy and tasty way to get the fighting power of both.
