With uniquely high levels of powerful antioxidants, POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice has demonstrated a superior ability to fight harmful free radicals.
This study was conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and published in a leading food chemistry journal. The researchers measured antioxidant potency in a novel way-rather than just relying on a single antioxidant test method, they tested using all four leading tests and combined the results to get a comprehensive and holistic assessment.
Across those four tests, POM Wonderful was far and away the top performer in terms of antioxidant potency, defined as the in-vitro ability to scavenge free radical molecules.
