Flavored Blended Juice Beverage Blackberry Pomegranate
by Crystal Geyser Water
A sparkling juice blend with concentrated fruit sugars but no artificial additives. Better than soda but still delivers a significant sugar load from grape and apple concentrates, which can spike blood sugar levels.
- Pure Juice from Grape and/or Apple – safe · Concentrated fruit sugars that provide sweetness but can cause blood sugar spikes similar to added sugars when consumed in liquid form.
- Pomegranate Juice Concentrate – beneficial · Concentrated pomegranate provides antioxidants and polyphenols, though processing reduces some beneficial compounds compared to fresh fruit.
- Red Grape Juice Concentrate – safe · Contains some beneficial compounds like resveratrol but primarily contributes concentrated sugars that can impact blood glucose.
- Sparkling Water – beneficial · Hydrating base that provides carbonation without calories or harmful additives.
- Natural Flavors – safe · Plant or animal-derived flavor compounds that enhance taste without synthetic chemicals, though specific sources are proprietary.
- Niacinamide – beneficial · Vitamin B3 that supports cellular energy metabolism and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
- Vitamin B-12 – beneficial · Essential vitamin for nerve function and red blood cell formation, beneficial especially for those with limited B12 intake.
- Carbonation – safe · Added CO2 gas that creates fizz and enhances mouthfeel without health concerns for most people.
