Of course, there are many antioxidant fruit juices out there. But few have the power of the highest antioxidant juice. As human beings we are one of the few animal species that does not produce our own antioxidants, therefore we must consume them. And hence the reason why our diet depends on them.

There are, in fact, many antioxidant fruit drinks. Some of the more serious forms are those like Pomengranate or the Acai Berry (antioxidant fruit complex antioxidants) and its acai fruit juice. However, you need to watch out for how the juice is manufactured and what is the nutritional value of the ingredients. Because, for example, the Acai Berry looses it’s nutritional value within 24 hours of being harvested and since the Berry only grows in Brazil, it’s hard for someone in the United States to get it fresh without losing the nutritional value. So, it is best to understand what you’re looking for when you look for a fruit juice. You don’t want additives or lots of processed sugar.

“All juices are not created equal,” says Princeton University sports dietitian Mandy Clark, R.D. “Are you getting nutrients or are you drinking sugar water?” Yes, some antioxidant fruit drink products only contain 10-15% juice, followed by larger doses of high-fructose corn syrup, sucrose and cane sugar. Be sure to check the labels of a bottle, and if it says “100% Juice” then you are probably right on target.

The Acai Berry, for example, is best when you get it in the flash freeze dried form which acai fruit juice has. Moreover, if you can get all of the fruit, like the nut, the skin, all ground up, those nutrients are much better for you than just the interior of the fruit.

There are companies out there that make powder forms that you mix with water or simple pills that you pop every now and again. However, the best way to get your antioxidants from fruit is eating the actual fruit or drinking the fruit’s juice. Actually, it is well-known that the body absorbs liquids more quickly than solids. When taking dietary supplements, it is very important to have efficient absorption. According to the Physician’s Desk Reference, “only 10 to 20 percent of vitamins and minerals in…pill form are absorbed by the human body.”

Of course, another very effective way of getting your antioxidants in a juice form is to make your own antioxidant fruit juice.

    Not that i am seriously complaining or anything, but is it really necessary to have a naked lady holding the fruit juice??! I mean, she is very pretty and all, and the unstated implication of camera scrolling down is quiet a pleasing one, but perhaps, just perhaps, its also a “little” ludicrous :) .
    Oh yeah…..decent article as well :)

      Rob, it might be. When this site first started we wanted a photo of someone healthy drinking juice. That was our goal. Without spending too much time searching through thousands of images, we went this that one. Hope you’re okay with it!
