Pomegranate juice contains antioxidants, which may help keep the kidneys healthy. Some people believe it may help prevent kidney stones.

However, the National Kidney Foundation notes that it does not affect kidney stone prevention.

If you’d like to try it, it’s not clear how much pomegranate juice you can safely drink throughout the day, but a serving or two each day is likely reasonable for most people.

The American Stroke AssociationTrusted Source notes that some medications to lower cholesterol may interact with pomegranate juice. If you’re taking any medications, talk with a doctor before use.
