Which Is Healthier?
WaterADE (Cherry vitamin hydration drink) likely has a better nutritional profile overall
Why?
- It includes multiple added vitamins (A, C, D, E) rather than just Vitamin C.
- Uses a mix of natural sweetener (stevia) along with low-calorie sweeteners, which some people prefer over only artificial ones.
- Still extremely low in calories and sugars.
Oranka Premium Hydration Juice still has benefits:
- Very low sugar/calorie hydration option.
- Includes some real fruit juice content, which can offer trace phytonutrients.
Things to Watch
Artificial sweeteners: Both drinks use artificial sweetening agents like acesulfame-K. Some individuals prefer to avoid these or limit them.
Fruit juice dilution: Oranka’s product is a concentrate mixed with water — actual final fruit juice % will be low once prepared.
Micronutrient differences: WaterADE’s variety of added vitamins may be more beneficial than a single added vitamin if you’re aiming for extra micronutrient intake
