After drinking Orange Water, there is an aftertaste that remains in the mouth, it is slightly bitter taste. The bitter taste is a little disturbing in the throat and mouth wall so I had to drink water to eliminate them.

As recommended on the bottle, these drinks should not be frozen because the vitamin C contained in it will be damaged by frost. Vitamin C belonged antioxidant vitamins that can counteract free radicals extracellular. Some of the characteristics include very easily oxidized by heat, light, and metal. Vitamin C is required for maintaining the structure of collagen, a type of protein that connects all network fibers, skin, tendons, cartilage, and other tissue in the human body.

Excess vitamin C in large doses can be detrimental to health, which could lead to disruption of the absorption of vitamin B12 in the body (vitamin B12 plays a role in brain function as well as cells, red blood cells), causing stomach acid production increases, causing digestive problems such as irritable stomach, diarrhea, and also diseases gangstritis. It also can lead to the disruption of the urikosuria that the increased levels of uric acid in the urine womb, triggering the risk of disorders of the kidneys. And will result in some disorder associated with brain damage, and can cause dizziness and nausea.

But not to worry, the maximum limit for vitamin C is 2,000 mg per day. But don't drink the beverages that contain vitamin C with high dose of 1000 mg every day. It would be better if we eat fruits that contain vitamin C, more natural and does not have a high dose.

Isotonic drinks such as Orange Water is suitable to drink for those who are dehydrated. Dehydration is the liquid that comes out of the body and accompanied by the release of mineral salts or electrolytes. Conditions of discharge that can be reviewed with mineral salts from the sweat more concentrated. The condition occurs when the activity is heavier than normal. When the body works harder so the discharge will be more, such as sports activities. In addition to heavy activity, lack of fluids or dehydration can also occur when diarrhea or vomiting. In this condition is very good if somebody consumes isotonic drinks to restore body fluids rapidly.
