VITAMIN C HIT
Moju Acerola Booster Shot, £1.50/60ml Waitrose
THE maker says ‘ late nights and long days’ call for this reviving blend of apple, pomegranate, blackberry, cherry and lemon juices with 20 per cent acerola puree. ‘A heavyduty version of a glass of orange juice, acerola (aka the Barbados cherry) is one of the richest, natural forms of vitamin C’ — and taking it in shot form makes it more ‘ bioavailable’ (better absorbed by the body).
EXPERT OPINION: Acerola is widely regarded as the best natural source of vitamin C, but it’s not clear exactly how much vitamin C is in this shot. I can’t find research that proves a shot is more effective than a supplement.
TASTE: Slightly sour, but pleasant. 4/10
