This summer, many brands competed for vitamin drinks, played a nutrition and health brand, and were sought after by many fashion people. However, nutrition experts said that drinking vitamins does not have a lot to do with vitamin supplements.

"This is a new product this year. It contains a variety of vitamins and is good for drinking." Yesterday, in a supermarket in Hanyang, salespeople tried to introduce a vitamin water to reporters. The reporter then visited a number of supermarkets and saw a variety of vitamin drinks such as vitamin water for farmers, vitamins, fruit drinks, and Tianhe Chaquan, and five or six flavors such as apples, lemons, blueberries, and grapefruit. On Taobao.com, there are domestic products such as Expressive Vitamin Drinks, and imported vitamin drinks from Taiwan and South Korea.

Most of these beverages are labeled, in addition to conventional nutrients such as protein, fat, and sodium, but also vitamins, such as: vitamin C, vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E, etc. .

Vitamin drinks are not cheap, 500 ml load is as low as nearly 4 yuan, and more are sold for nearly 10 yuan, and some imported goods are 100 ml to 3.5 yuan, which is equivalent to 500 ml of 17.5 yuan. The current ordinary juice, tea beverage, 500 ml is generally as long as more than 2 yuan.

Ding Zhimin, a nutritionist at Wuhan General Hospital of the Guangzhou Military Region, said yesterday that vitamin C and other vitamins are easily lost during processing. Vitamin content in vitamin drinks is actually smaller than it is. It does not make much sense to supplement vitamins by drinking beverages. If the human body does not lack vitamins, it is not advisable to make up for it. In addition, some vitamin drinks contain white sugar, etc., and excessive intake may be fat. Ding Zhimin said that many foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, and citizens can take the necessary vitamins and other nutrients.
