It depends: Vitamin Water is a commercial drink that adds sweeteners, flavors and small amounts of vitamins and minerals to water.There are many varieties but most have about 32 grams of sugar (as cane sugar and fructose) and NONE of those are "good for you."Sugar is one of the least healthy things we can consume.

Question 8

are multi vitamins good?

Accepted Answer

Once daily is fine: If a person has knowledge of nutrition and has a very balanced diet, then he or she may not need to take a daily multivitamin because his foods contain enough. I recommend each person take a multivitamin because many people don't have a truly balanced diet. Some people also need extra vitamin d, calcium, folate, omega3, etc..., depending on individual issues. Generally, there are no side effects.

Question 9

what is vitamin e good for?

Accepted Answer

Many things: As an antioxidant, vit. E may protect against cancer & alzheimer's & is famous for preventing heart disease. Research is contradictory; negative studies often use synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol; studies done using natural e (d-alpha tocopherol) with mixed tocopherols have better results. Eating foods high in e gives the best outcome! see http://www.Whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=nutrient&dbid=111.

Question 10

any vitamins good for skin?

Accepted Answer

Anti-oxidants: The most dangerous thing for the skin is damage from unstable molecules, promoted by UV light, called free radicals.  Anti-oxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamins C, E and A can help protect against this damage.  Eating a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is the best way to get these nutrients.  Omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, sardines, walnuts) are also good.
