Bottled Water Review
I’ve sort of moved away in recent years from my mother’s fully stocked cornucopia of vitamins, in part because I don’t enjoy taking a handful of costly pills and capsules every day. But, I’ve been wanting something more than just warm teas and soups to bolster my immune system against the nasty winter cold and flu season.
Enter VitaminWater: not too juicy, not too diluted, not too sweet; packed with enough vitamins and herbs to treat what ails me; tasty enough to drink every day. I’d heard some time ago about Glacéau’s nutrient-enhanced water line (as well as their electrolyte-enhanced SmartWater) but didn’t get on board until recently. So far, I’ve tried and would recommend power-c: dragonfruit (c+taurine), energy: tropical citrus (c+ginseng), stress-b: lemon-lime (b3, b5, b6, b12) and multi-v: lemonade (a, c, e+calcium) — their website is witty, entertaining and highly informative but entirely Flash based, so unfortunately I can’t directly link to each product.
The trouble is, most of the local supermarkets I frequent either don’t stock it or can’t seem to keep it on the shelves. The last time I visited one, for example, the guy stocking the chips offered, ” people sure seem to like that stuff.” They must, as it’s hard for me to find more than an empty shelf. Now, I’m going to have to search for some place to order it online. Otherwise, I may have to start frequenting the local health food stores in order to get my healthy fix. Ah, VitaminWater: so delicious, so elusive.
