A viewer asks: “There are powder versions of pomegranate in extract form. Is this a better form of taking it than buying a pomegranate in liquid form, which contains a lot of sugar after all? Would combining this in powder form with a liquid form of elderberry be a good idea to make up for what can’t be purchased in the UK, as there is no direct equivalent to the Grime Elderberry’s 21,900mg? Nature’s Nutrition Supergreens Berry Banana 500g Vegan Ingredients Probiotics contain a whole bunch of fruit in it, as well as mushrooms as per the supplement’s list. Is this any good?” What can we tell her?

You can certainly substitute a powder pomegranate extract to avoid the sugar content of the juice itself and it can be mixed with anything you like. The widely diverse extract of fruits and vegetables you cite is a good foundational nutritional supplement, but it will not contain a high level of antiviral activity, which is the point of taking in a minimum amount of pomegranate juice or its equivalent, especially when added to other antiviral nutritional supplements to have a sum total of varied components working together as an ideal.
