Ingredient Score:
This product receives a 3/5 green leaves rating. Vitamin Water Rise Orange is a beverage that aims to provide hydration along with added vitamins and electrolytes. It is not certified organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients, which detracts from its overall score. Additionally, the inclusion of sweeteners like stevia leaf extract and the presence of natural flavors and other additives are considered less desirable for those seeking cleaner food options.
The product composition includes reverse osmosis water, a variety of vitamins such as A, C, E, and several B vitamins, and electrolytes like calcium and potassium phosphates. The use of reverse osmosis water ensures that the base of the beverage is purified. The vitamins and minerals present in the drink may contribute to the nutritional value, potentially supporting overall health and wellness.
However, the product also contains ingredients that are flagged by our review criteria. The absence of an organic label means that the ingredients may have been exposed to pesticides or other agricultural chemicals. The product is not verified to contain non-GMO ingredients, which might be a concern for consumers looking to avoid genetically modified organisms in their diet.
Sweeteners have been added to enhance the taste. While stevia leaf extract and monk fruit extract are plant-based and considered natural, they are still added sugars which may not align with the preferences of those seeking products without any form of added sweetness. The inclusion of natural flavors raises questions, as this term can encompass a wide range of substances and is not specific. Phosphoric acid, another ingredient, is commonly used for acidity but may not be necessary in a product marketed for its health benefits.
The product’s rating reflects a balance between its fortified content and the concerns regarding organic certification, GMOs, and additives. While it offers vitamins and electrolytes, the lack of transparency with certain ingredients and the presence of sweeteners may not make it the optimal choice for those strictly seeking the cleanest food options.
