convenience store and find yourself staring at the rows and rows of
Vitamin Water. Although they may contain more calories and sugar than regular water, they also contain vitamins and minerals. So check out this breakdown to see what each flavor offers your body.

I drank a Power-C Dragonfruit Vitamin Water before and after climbing Mt. Tallac in Lake Tahoe last weekend - and my recovery was much better than expected. The strenuous 11.6 round trip could have called for a lot more calories, but I'd eaten a lot of fruit that morning, and didn't want to have a sugar high before starting. The electrolytes definitely helped me hydrate throughout the day, and the extra vitamins/minerals were great for my immune system - which was working extra hard to rebuild after the hike + adapt to the 9, 739 ft. climb.
1I have no issues with VitaminWater or Gatorade...when being used like you are supposed to (strenuous activity, like the poster above).
Hate when i see people drinking it like its juice and complain that they just "can't" lose any weight!
arg.
2Although, if you are in it for electrolytes, try drinking VitaCoco (its what I drink during intense capoeira classes). More electrolytes and less sugar (plus no fake ingredients, just green coconut water!)
3Yum! Love VitaCoco!
4BTW - they now have those low-cal Vitamin Waters - with 10 cal's a serving.
I love Vitamin Water, Smart Water, etc. Glaceau has great products.
5I loooove the XXX/Acai, Blueberry, Pomegranate one. I gave up drinking soda, and I drink those instead - but once a week at the most.
