⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high natural sugar content can cause blood-sugar spikes, especially for those with insulin sensitivity. To counteract this, pair it with a source of protein or fat (like eggs or nuts) to slow sugar absorption, and be mindful of portion size. Those monitoring calcium intake should also note the added fortification.

FAQ
How is 'from concentrate' different from 'not from concentrate'?
'From concentrate' juice has water removed for transport and added back later. 'Not from concentrate' is pasteurized and bottled directly, often perceived as fresher but both are processed.
Why add calcium and vitamin D?
They are added to fortify the juice, turning it into a significant dietary source of these bone-health nutrients, which is especially helpful for those who may not consume enough dairy.
Is the sugar in this juice the same as in soda?
No. The sugar is naturally occurring fructose from the fruit, not added refined sugar. However, your body still processes it as sugar, so moderation is key.
