Enhanced water products can help increase daily fluid intake, but not all are equal. Some have added calories or stimulants like caffeine, so it’s important to read labels carefully. They should not replace a balanced diet and pregnant women should limit caffeine intake.

Although water makes up 60 percent of your total body weight and most nutrition experts recommend drinking six to eight glasses of water a day, many people find staying properly hydrated to be a challenging task. Fortunately, there are a number of enhanced water products available that provide a convenient way to increase your daily fluid intake.

The term enhanced water is generally used to mean any type of bottled water that has added ingredients to improve its taste and/or offer additional nutritional benefits. Enhanced waters are sometimes called fortified water or herbal water. In the United States, some of the more common boosted water products are sold under the brand names Propel Fitness Water, Glaceau Vitamin Water, Base Energy + Water, Ice Botanicals, and VitaZest.

Contrary to popular belief, all enhanced water products are not created equal. There are products advertised as spring water, carbonated water, hydrogen peroxide, water with fruit juice concentrate, and flavored still water. Some boosted water products have no calories, while others contain nearly as many calories as a sports drink. There are bottled water blends to boost your energy and improve your mental focus, as well as products marketed specifically to meet the needs of women or athletes. When choosing an improved drink, it’s best to read the label carefully to make sure the product meets your needs.

Drinking enriched water can be helpful if it helps you cut down on sugary sodas. However, it’s important to realize that enhanced water is not meant to replace a well-balanced diet. Even if you’re getting extra vitamins and minerals in your flavored bottled water, you still need to make smart choices at mealtimes. Choosing improved water, then stopping for fast food on the way home from work isn’t an effective way to improve your overall health.

If you choose an enriched water product that contains caffeine or guarana, it’s also a good idea to keep track of how much you drink on any given day. Small amounts of these stimulants can temporarily boost your energy level, but drinking too much can make you feel jittery and jittery. Additionally, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant limit their daily caffeine intake due to an increased risk of miscarriage or low birth weight.
