Q:
Do vitamin-enriched drinks work?

If you’re looking for liquid nutrition, save your money. These beverages, which generally cost a dollar or so more than regular water, are marketed as an easy way to give yourself an instant vitamin boost. First problem: You probably don’t need the boost. “It takes four to six hours to digest and break down your breakfast or lunch,” says Alan Aragon, a nutritionist based in California, “and that provides you with nutrients the entire time.”

Second problem: Even if you skip a meal – or complete a gruelling workout – and end up shy of a few vitamins, your body can’t process what’s in the bottle efficiently to give you instant-anything, says Aragon. So stick with real food. And if you want additional nutritional insurance, go for a multivitamin.
