How Much Does a Pomegranate Juice Habit Cost in Canada?

Brand-by-Brand Price Breakdown (March 2026)

These are real prices from Canadian stores, checked this month. Prices fluctuate — Costco in particular reprices seasonally — but this gives you an accurate snapshot.

The Bryan Johnson Protocol: What It Costs

Bryan Johnson's Blueprint protocol calls for 60ml (2 oz) of pomegranate juice daily in Nutty Pudding. At that dose, your costs look very different:

• Costco POM Wonderful: $0.41/day → $12.30/month → $149/year
• PC Organics: $0.44/day → $13.30/month → $162/year
• Red Crown Organic: $0.72/day → $21.60/month → $263/year

At the Blueprint dose, pomegranate juice is one of the cheapest items in the protocol. Your olive oil probably costs more. See our full Blueprint sourcing guide, then use the brand comparison tool if you want to sort the actual bottles by price per litre instead of guessing from shelf tags.

Juice vs. Extract Capsules: Cost Comparison

If you're drinking pomegranate juice primarily for health benefits (not taste), extract capsules might be cheaper and eliminate the sugar concern.

Extract capsules are the budget option for polyphenol supplementation. But they don't give you the broader spectrum of compounds you get from whole juice — and frankly, most people enjoy drinking pomegranate juice. The taste is half the reason people stick with it.

Money-Saving Tips

• Buy the big bottle at Costco. The 1.77L POM Wonderful is roughly 40% cheaper per ml than the 473ml bottle at Loblaws. It keeps for 2-3 weeks after opening (refrigerated).
• Dilute it. Half-and-half with sparkling water stretches one bottle twice as long and cuts sugar in half. You still taste the pomegranate and still get meaningful polyphenols.
• Watch for sales. Loblaws and Sobeys put POM Wonderful on sale roughly once a month. Stock up — unopened bottles last months in the fridge.
• Consider PC Organics. It's the house brand at Loblaw stores and consistently the second-cheapest option per ml.
• Fresh pomegranates in season (October–January). During peak season, you can buy whole pomegranates for $2–3 each at Costco and juice them yourself. One large pomegranate yields about 100–120ml of juice. That's roughly $0.50/100ml — cheaper than any bottled option.

Is It Worth the Money?

Compared to most health supplements, pomegranate juice is cheap. A month of daily juice from Costco costs about the same as 3-4 lattes. Extract capsules are even cheaper.

Compared to other functional beverages marketed at health-conscious Canadians — matcha lattes ($4-6/each), cold-pressed green juices ($8-12/bottle), kombucha ($4-5/bottle) — pomegranate juice delivers more documented health benefits at a fraction of the cost.

The real cost question isn't "is pomegranate juice expensive?" It's "what are you spending on less evidence-backed health products that this could replace?"
