Apricot Juice Benefits: Beta-Carotene, Skin, Eyes & Potassium

What's in Apricot Juice

Apricots are rich in beta-carotene, with vitamin C, potassium and polyphenols. Pomona Organic Apricot Juice has about 110 calories and 24g of natural sugar per bottle, with 0g added sugar, and a naturally thick, velvety texture.

1. Beta-Carotene for Skin and Eyes

The body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A as needed, supporting normal vision, skin and immune function. Apricots also contain small amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids concentrated in the eye.

2. Potassium

Apricot juice provides potassium, which helps balance sodium in the diet. People with kidney disease should check with their doctor about potassium-rich foods.

3. Gentle on Digestion

Like prunes, apricots contain some sorbitol, which can gently support regularity. Apricot juice is milder than prune juice, and some people find it an easier-tasting option.

Apricot Juice vs Apricot Nectar

Almost all apricot drinks in stores are nectars: purée diluted with water and sweetened. Pure apricot juice is rare. Pomona Organic Apricot Juice is cold-pressed from USDA Organic apricots only — no water, no added sugar, never from concentrate — in BPA-free glass.

FAQ

• Is apricot juice good for you? — Pure apricot juice supplies beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium. It's naturally sweet, so 4-8 oz is a sensible serving.
• Is apricot nectar the same as apricot juice? — No. Nectar is diluted, usually sweetened purée. Pure juice is 100% apricot.
• Does apricot juice help constipation? — Apricots contain some sorbitol, which may gently support regularity, though prune juice is the better-known choice.
• Is apricot juice good for skin? — Its beta-carotene supports vitamin A status, which skin needs. It's part of a healthy diet, not a skin treatment.
