Get your vitamins from real food
Vitamin water is more about marketing than health. The best source of vitamins is their original packaging - fruits and vegetables. You'll get not just the few vitamins thrown into the bottle but hundreds of nutrients and antioxidants that no lab has created yet. Vitamins are bitter, so the drink needs to be sweetened - which means added calories or artificial sweeteners.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers. People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.
