Keep Up With A Refreshing Smart C+

Keeping our body fit and healthy requires not just having a daily physical activity or regular exercise. A healthy body must also be maintained with healthy diet, and a steady supply of vitamins and minerals which we get from varied sources. One of the most important vitamins that our body needs is Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), which, our own body cannot even produce.

Animal liver, milk, vegetables, and fruits are one of our major sources of Vitamin C. But much of the vitamin is washed away upon harvest, during preparations and upon cooking. So to be able to supply our body's need, we turn into supplementation from synthetic and organically processed sources. And we have this mostly in capsule, tablet, or powder form. But do you know that there is already a refreshing way to supply our body with Vitamin C? That's the Smart C+ way.

Smart C+, a healthy beverage product of Oishi, delivers the freshness of Vitamin C-rich fruits to us in a refreshing bottle, and in three flavors - Lemon Squeeze, Orange Crush, and Pomelo Grapefruit. Smart C+ contains no preservatives, zero artificial flavoring, and zero artificial sweeteners.

Smart C+ - A refreshing way to be healthy

During the past few days, I got to sit on my work bench while refreshingly consuming each of the three flavors of Smart C+. Each one tastes good, or even much better than the freshly extracted juices of Lemon, Orange, and Pomelo grapefruit since it is already sweetened, not by a high-fructose corn syrup though, but with the diabetic-friendly cane sugar.

Looking closely at the product label, the "nature-identical flavor" caught my attention. I doubted that this is some kind of artificial flavoring. Wikipedia attests otherwise as nature-identical flavors is a different type from artificial flavoring substance.

The fruit juice comes from the concentrated form (juice concentrate). Also, this caught my attention since the process of concentration gets rid of the many micronutrients and original substances of a fruit during the juice's water removal process through boiling, freezing, or vacuum setup filtration.

More on the label, water has been added to reconstitute the 100% fruit juice (I just wonder if the water restored was still equivalent to the amount of water that was removed from the concentration). Ascorbic Acid has also been added not just to restore the fruit's original Vitamin substance, but also to contain each 500mL bottle a 500mg of Vitamin C - an amount greater than what the original fruit have.

Each bottle has also been enriched with other important substances like Beta-Carotene, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Vitamins B5 and B6. There was also this Natural Cloudifier and Natural color (Lycopene for pomelo grapefruit, Marigold for lemon squeeze) added.

Here's some trivia I learned from Smart C+:

• 1 medium-size lemon contains about 44.5mg Vitamin C
• 1 large-size grapefruit contains about 114.2mg Vitamin C
• 1 whole Valencia Orange contains about 58.7mg Vitamin C

So, a 500 mL of refreshing juice drink containing a 500mg of Vitamin C, that's a double benefit we could get from each bottle. Now I don't have to supply myself a different set of Vitamin C, multi-vitamins, and a hydration drink in one after a stressful day in the office.
