Naturally Pomengrante™ delivers the equivalent of 15 pomengrantes in a 1 oz serving, for only 16 calories and 4 g of sugar plus it is tasty and good for you.  It contains all the natural goodness of the juice concentrate, rind and seeds.

I was attracted to this box on the store shelf because it looked so elegant, but after reading the label I decided to give the product a try.  After all we all need more fruit and veggies in our diet and here was a way to get the benefits of 15 pomegranates in a small amount calories.  I was really glad I did.  The 1 oz is definitely “strong” but I really enjoyed sipping it and felt like I was having a bit of an after dinner treat or a fine wine or cognac (but without the alcohol).  Sometimes as an alternative I will add it to my vanilla protein shake instead of sipping it.

Pomegranates are getting a lot of attention these days for their antioxidant properties and other health benefits (such as neutralizing free radicals, improving cardiovascular health).

One article Pomegranates Have Many Health Benefits (posted 11/07/2005 at Health Central.com) reviews some of the benefits:

…rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000).  In addition, pomegranate juice, like aspirin, can help keep blood platelets from clumping together to form unwanted clots.

recent research has found that eight ounces of pomegranate juice daily for three months improved the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle of patients with coronary heart disease (American Journal of the College of Cardiology, Sept. 2005).

other researchers report that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may help combat erectile dysfunction (Journal of Urology, July 2005).

Investigators are also excited about the possibility that pomegranate compounds might prevent prostate cancer or slow its growth. Other research reports suggest that pomegranate juice might help reduce the risk of breast cancer.

It may also help arthritis. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have reported that tissue cultures of human cartilage cells respond to pomegranate extract. Inflammation is reduced and the enzymes that break down cartilage become less active.

Pomegrante juice has more polyphenol antioxidants than red wine, green tea, blueberry juice, cranberry juice and orange juice.  With all the potential health benefits, I plan on keeping Naturally Pomegranate™ as one of my daily must have items.
