Any evidence that pomegranate pills are as effective as taking the juice itself?

Seems like every time I pick up a magazine I hear more about the wonders of pomegranate juice as a nutritional supplement from everything to cardio health, plaque in arteries, even erectile dysfunction. Many health food stores sell pomegranate pills, and I was wondering if there was any truth to these claims and if the efficacy of pills is equivalent to drinking the actual juice, which can be expensive. And if the pills are beneficial, how many mg. per day should one take? Or is it all just another “herbal remedy” having its 15 minutes of fame? I appreciate your help!
