Do Infused Water Work?

While flavor is imparted through the inclusion of fruit, the water itself does not typically take on high levels of nutrients, vitamins, or minerals through the infusion process. If you squeeze the fruit to release juice, more vitamins and minerals may be released, but further research is required.

Does infused water do anything?

In addition to increasing your vitamin intake, infused water can also increase your natural water consumption. Water helps to speed up your body's metabolism, boost energy levels, prevent cramping, and many other important benefits… but not everyone enjoys the taste of “plain” water.

Is there any benefit to fruit infused water?

The vitamin C contained in fruit has shown to benefit the immune system. Although water infused with fruit contains varying amounts, some people enjoy eating the fruit after drinking as a source of additional vitamins. Really, digestion is better when your body is well hydrated - even with plain water.
