Is Pomegranate Concentrate Better Than Juice?
Yes — when made properly, pomegranate concentrate is better than juice in both potency and biofunctional effect. It contains significantly more polyphenols, fewer sugars per dose, and offers higher antioxidant and DNA-protective capacity — especially when processed under vacuum evaporation and without heat degradation 1.
Key Advantages Of Concentrate Over Juice
- 10× higher polyphenol concentration: Especially punicalagins and ellagic precursors
- Lower sugar per serving: Delivers benefits without glycemic spikes
- Stronger antioxidant and anti-aging effects: Superior ABTS, DPPH, and DNA protection scores in lab tests
So is pomegranate concentrate better than juice? For targeted functional support — absolutely.
Why MILESTONE® Concentrate Is Different
- Vacuum-evaporated at low temperature: Preserves phenols and prevents oxidative damage
- ≥10,000 mg/kg polyphenols: Verified by HPLC and Folin–Ciocalteu analysis
- IC20 = 0.015 μl for DNA protection: University-tested by Prof. D. Kouretas, University of Thessaly

Summary: Go Beyond Juice — Choose Concentrate For Function
For potency, antioxidant activity, and biofunctionality, concentrated pomegranate leaves juice far behind.
Tip: Use 1 tbsp daily for high-impact polyphenol support — it’s juice, elevated into functional medicine.
