Poga Moonga and Pomegranate Juice Concentrate
Pomegranate fruits contain polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins - all are beneficial antioxidants. Interestingly, the pomegranate juice found in poga moonga, contains high levels of antioxidants - higher than most other fruit juices, red wine or green tea.

Research done about the benefits of pomegranate juice suggests that drinking a glass of pomegranate juice a day for one year reduced blood pressure (particularly systolic pressure) and slowed down LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) oxidation. Pomegranate juice, a rich source of potent flavonoid antioxidants, was tested for its capacity to protect nitric oxide against oxidative destruction.

Pomegranate juice was found to be a potent inhibitor of superoxide .Pomegranate juice was much more potent than Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, red wine, ascorbic acid, and dl-alpha-tocopherol. These observations indicate that pomegranate juice possesses potent antioxidant activity that results in marked protection of nitric oxide against oxidative destruction.

From research they have determined that natural pomegranate juice can block enzymes that contribute to osteoarthritis, may prevent prostate cancer or slow its growth, during pregnancy may help reduce the risk of brain injuries in babies, improves lipid profiles in diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia, potently suppress proliferation, xenograft growth, and invasion of human prostate cancer cells, inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation and cardiovascular diseases.
