Pomegranate juice is dark purple and delicious. It should of course be kept in glass bottles and always refrigerated. I get mine at Walmart, where they have the best in town.

Pomegranate juice is good stuff, I agree.

While I enjoy juice as a beverage, a lot of the flavonoids, phenols, and polyphenols at issue are frequently in the pulp and also require such high dosages to be effective that dried fruit is a more realistic option, or supplements that take out the sugar and just leave the bio active substances.

I have no clue if pomegranate juice keeps the good stuff. Hope it does.

Long way of saying, whole fruit, dried fruit, and supplements is the safe way to go for health benefits.

I try to take supplements by color, believe it or not: green (broccoli, olive leaf, whatever), red (lycopene), yellow (quercetin, cumin), white (spermatin, fistein, hesperin, blue/purple (berries, reveretol), plus Vitamin D and C and zinc/magnesium. Then high dosage fish oil and a couple others.

The above is not comprehensive. I vary my groupings, sticking to the color scheme.

Collagen of various kinds, but that’s because I’m a power lifter and my joints get banged up. Plus I don’t like dark bird meat.

Creatinine, too.

In top of that I eat a healthy diet heavy on protein and veggies and fiber.

My numbers and health are great. Look like I’m in my 30s, when I’m an old Gen X, banged up Iraq vet. My grey hair even partially went back to black.
