Enhanced Water

Glaceau Vitamin Water's Defense Lemon Ice seems to target people who want to boost their immune systems. However, there is no solid evidence that the ingredients (zinc, vitamin C, echinacea and arabinogalactan) can prevent colds, the flu, or other infections.

If you have a cold, the echinacia may help, but the vitamin C and zinc probably will not (only zinc lozenges seem to work).

"Vitamins + water equals what is in your hand", says the label. Unlike other water, this one has 125 calories per bottle and in truth, is simply water, sugar and few vitamins and a lot of hype.
