Review of Pom Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice

November 06, 2008 12:47 PM EST

Having something of a struggle with High Blood Pressure I decided to try Pom. Pom is 100 percent Pomegranate Juice and can be found in most grocery stores as well as wholesale clubs like Costco. I buy mine at Coscto since the price 9.99 for a 1 quart.67 version of the beverage is the most economical. I have found drinking Pom on a daily basis has made  a significant difference in my blood pressure. It helps to keep itwell controlled. I still take a blood pressure med, but Pom is very effective at helpingto keep the numbers down. I would very much recommend this product.

and it tastes great! :)
Karen G. Nov 6, 2008, 4:46pm EST
It has a very strong flavor. It is tasty though.
Fran S. Nov 6, 2008, 7:11pm EST
how much sugar does it have? just curious
Sarah (I want points) Nov 7, 2008, 11:48am EST
Interesting... I would have to try it, because I'm not sure I'd like the flavor.
☀ Aunt Shanny Nov 7, 2008, 12:31pm EST
This stuff is awesome!

Did you get an email from someone at Pom? They are having a recipe contest using Pom. Supposedly.

I have never tried this, but if I get the chance I think I will.

Thanks for the comment Karen. :-)
Karen G. Nov 7, 2008, 7:14pm EST
It does have quite abit of sugar 32 gs per 8 oz. You might
want to avoid it if you are diabetic.
sharron lewis Nov 8, 2008, 12:11pm EST
I know it isn't organic. I wonder about the pesticides it might contain.
sharron lewis Nov 8, 2008, 12:15pm EST
I am also concerned about the cruel animal testing that is a part of this company.

I like pom's and their juice. Didn't know it helped lower BP though. Wish it were a bit cheeper.

Be careful! Some juices can affect our body’s ability to metabolize a drug. Please see the following links for information. One is the Food and Drug Administration and the other is the abstract of a journal article regarding pomegranate juice and its effect a specific liver enzyme, which is an enzyme that’s needed to properly metabolize many drugs. The journal article suggests that pom juice acts similar to grapefruit juice in inactivating the CYP3A4 enzyme. Some drugs that grapefruit juice can affect: Alprazolam, atorvastatin, cisapride, cyclosporine, midazolam, and triazolam.

Forgot the links:
FDA: Preventing Serious Drug Interations, http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2004/404_drug.html
PubMed: Effects of pomegranate juice on human cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A) and carbamazepine pharmacokinetics in rats, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15673597?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=1&log$=relatedarticles&logdbfrom=pubmed
The above list of drugs is from a book I own: Lange, Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, Page 62, table 62t.

Thanks for letting us know.
Jodie B. Nov 12, 2008, 8:42pm EST
Thanks for sharing. I've seen this juice but haven't ever tried it myself.
debra g. Nov 13, 2008, 7:54pm EST
I like this pom and drink it daily,I don't have hbp but its still a great drink.
denise e Nov 15, 2008, 3:42pm EST
it does taste great
Pat Bertram Nov 15, 2008, 7:01pm EST
Pomegranate juice sounds wonderful!
Wilma M. Nov 19, 2008, 11:20pm EST
I've heard other good reviews about this. I may have to try it, though I don't have high blood pressure.
Sheila Deeth Nov 20, 2008, 11:27pm EST
Sounds nice. Lots of pomegranates in the stores just now.
Dove D. Nov 22, 2008, 7:24pm EST
good to know
Nyota *Star* Nov 26, 2008, 9:20pm EST
I drink Noni and pure pomegranate too. I don't have the patience for the fruit picking.
Amber C. Nov 28, 2008, 2:36pm EST
Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish I could persuade my father to try some. He has high blood pressure due to medication. My mom has told me privately she is somewhat concerned about that. I might try the juice just because I know pomegranate is so healthy anyway.
Rico V. Nov 28, 2008, 6:43pm EST
I love that juice and it tastes great! (I tried it for the first time a few years ago and I remember it being more tart back then... perhaps they improved something? I know they don't sweeten it.)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 30, 2008, 2:32pm EST
Love Pom! I don't have high blood pressure but this juice is great!
Sassy ... the calm and cool Cat Dec 1, 2008, 4:31am EST
That's interesting. I've never tried pomegranate juice
jessie voigts Dec 1, 2008, 4:27pm EST
thanks for the rec, karen! my husband drinks it, also takes pomegranate pills. it works!!
M. Bradley McCauley McCauley Dec 2, 2008, 10:13am EST
Thanks so much for posting this. It could be a life saver to many who have HP. I have hesitated to buy it because of the cost. Glad to know I can get it cheaper at COSTCO. I may even join for the savings.

BTW, thanks for commenting on my Holiday Gift Idea

I appreciate your taking time to comment.
Barbary Chaapel Dec 14, 2008, 7:15pm EST
I have been drinking it, because I like it. I do have high BP, so will continue.
Debra C. Dec 14, 2008, 9:44pm EST
I was wondering if there was a less expensive source for it -- pomegranate juice is nice in some cocktail recipies but the pure stuff is expensive.
Kathryn E. Dec 23, 2008, 10:58am EST
I will let my sister know, and I might drink it just in case....I have low blood pressure but one can't count on good numbers always staying good........
David C. Jan 1, 2009, 3:15pm EST
I've heard it's good for you...how's the taste?
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 1, 2009, 3:17pm EST
I LOVE pomegranate juice! It has many health benefits.
Fran S. Jan 2, 2009, 1:02pm EST
it really is a great product, but until they make a low sugar version its off limits for me
Ann Weaver Hart Jan 6, 2009, 10:52pm EST
