I constantly see people walking around with vitamin water and other enhanced waters in their hands. I really just want to shake them and let them know that their $3 beverage is a waste of money, time and calories. These drinks claim that they are enhanced with B vitamins, minerals and vitamin C. News flash, B vitamins and vitamin C are water-soluble and you SHOULD be getting these vitamins through your diet. So, in the long run you are paying three bucks to pee out whatever vitamins and minerals you are "drinking" because your body excretes what you don't need. If your enhanced waters contain fat-soluble vitamins(vitamins A, E, D, and K) then you would have to eat a meal that contains a good amount of fat directly before drinking it. So, stop wasting money on a drink that DOES NOT contain real fruit juice, has empty calories and really will not provide any nutritional value. Instead, eat a diet rich in fruit and veggies and if need be, take a quality multi vitamin :) Do not believe the hype!
