Summary
This study is comparing the quantity of active metabolites from consuming pomegranate juice in three different preparations. People who participate in this study will come in to the Center for a screening visit, which includes a blood test and medical history. If you qualify based on the screening visit, you will then come in to the Center while fasting in the morning on three different days. You will eat a standardized breakfast and drink one of three juices, and then remain for metabolic testing at the Center for a period of time after eating. You will also be provided a standardized lunch and water during this period. Each of those visits will last about 7 hours. During this time, and for the rest of the 24 hours following drinking the juice, you will collect all of your urine. Following all three of these 7-hour visits, you will return to the Center again the next day for a fasting blood draw, drop off your urine sample, and pick up a new container to collect another 24 hour urine sample. The following day, you will return to the Center to drop off your second urine sample collection.
