Vitaminwater is an unnatural and highly processed product created for profit.
There is no such thing as Vitaminwater found in Nature, therefore it is not intended for human consumption. It exploits people’s understanding that they are vitamin deficient. By drinking Vitaminwater, you are doing more harm than good to your overall health.
With its colorful and clever labeling, Vitaminwater gives the illusion the product is healthy and hydrating. The creative and witty text on the label distracts the consumer from reading the list of ingredients on the other side of the bottle.
Even if the consumer was to read the nutritional content, most people do not understand what food labels really mean. They tend to believe the words that are highlighted on the front of the package. In this case, the consumer is led to believe that “Vitamin” and “Water” constitute the product. What they don’t know is that these two ingredients are modified and combined with unhealthy additives.
The flavors are named with empowering words such as “endurance”, “essential”, “focus” and “energy”. This product deceives people into thinking that they are consuming nutrients, when in reality, they are consuming inorganic and unnatural ingredients that the body cannot use.
Ingredients
Real water (H20) contains minerals, not vitamins. Furthermore, water is not colored. Vitaminwater is colored with food coloring that is made with chemicals. Consumers are digesting chemicals with the understanding that they are obtaining nutritious vitamins.
The vitamins in Vitaminwater are inorganic. This means your body is not digesting and assimilating the synthetic vitamins in this toxic beverage because the human body is organic.
“Vitaminwater” only contains Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12. Vitaminwater lacks:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin F
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin P
- Vitamin B1
- Vitamin B2
- Vitamin B4
- Vitamin B9
- Vitamin B13 and other vitamins
Vitaminwater does not contain a full spectrum of vitamins.
The Vitamin C found in the beverage derives from an inorganic chemical called “Ascorbic Acid” that lacks real nutrients that you can find in Rose Hip fruit, Amla Berry, Camu Fruit, Hibiscus Flower, and Acerola Cherry.
The second ingredient of Vitaminwater is crystalline fructose, a fancy name for sugar. It is the most prominent ingredient after sugar. The vitamins found in Vitaminwater are irrelevant to the nutritional value of the product because the beverage also contains harmful sugars and additives. You are much better off consuming these nutrients in your diet or multi vitamin.
The electrolytes in the beverage such as monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium lactate, and calcium lactate are all from inorganic sources. They will not and do not help your body. Giving the real body fake or synthetic substances will not work. Most people think that your body does not know the difference, but it will.
The water comprising Vitaminwater is sweetened with crystalline fructose for taste and fake energy.
The term natural flavor is an umbrella term used to hide the true nature of the ingredient. This vague term is always suspect when you read it on an ingredient list.
And while a few types of Vitaminwater contain herbs such as Gotu Kola and Ginseng, the other ingredients defeat the purpose of the herbs. You would benefit more from drinking a cup of tea.
Many individuals walk around with their bottle of Vitaminwater, thinking they are doing something good for their body, but in reality, they are just consuming inorganic and unnatural ingredients.
Solutions
Vitaminwater is not a healthy alternative to normal water. While it may contain some beneficial herbs, it also contains inorganic nutrients that the body cannot absorb. Try taking vitamins derived from living food sources with good water containing alkaline or antioxidants. This would be much more beneficial to your health.
You are not being health conscious if you are drinking Vitaminwater. It would be wise to avoid commercial Vitamin Water and to drink the best water possible that may be available to you and within your financial means.
It is not always expensive to live and eat healthy foods. However, it can be very expensive to live and eat unhealthy because of the effects it has on your health.
