This is a very cool Japanese (but made in Indonesia) drink. And as usual the reason why I am reviewing this drink is because I am on a quest to find healthy foodstuff and drinks. As you guys should know, I have been ill for the past 2 to 3 weeks. And this is due to the fact that I have been eating unhealthy food, especially oily and heaty stuff without much nutrients to keep my body in good shape. So when I got infected by germs, I fell ill fast and hard. Took me more 2 weeks to really recover and I am still now feeling the effects of that major illness. So, to prevent any more such illness, I will be eating right from now on.

And thus I am reviewing this little drink. First of all, this is a very small bottle.  Just 140ml of orange drink and it supposed to contain more than the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C! Wow, small but powerful just like me. Secondly, the drink is rather nice. Oh, this can be classified as a soda drink since it is a bit bubbly. But the carbonation is weak (perhaps due to the size of the bottle) and it won’t distract you from the delicious tasting drink. However I have to admit, the orange flavour in the drink is very much lacking. Perhaps it is just a tad too sweet.

You.C1000. What a name.

A close up view of the front label. Notice the Japanese wordings on the label? I am not sure why they have Japanese wordings since this bottle drink is especially made for the Singapore market.

Oh, sugar and fructose. Not really good for your body but in small amounts I guess they are acceptable. Contains honey and Vitamin C and E. Ya! Not too sure exactly what beta-carotene is but from my brief Google tells me that it is just for colouring. The Niacinamide is some sort of Vitamin B.  I wonder why they are using so much jargon on the labels. Anyway, at least there are no preservatives.

Yes, that is 1000mg of Vitamin C in one serving of 140ml!  Remember the name is C1000, so I guess it means that it contains 1000mg of Vitamin C! The recommended intake of Vitamin C is about 40mg daily for adults and by taking 1000mg, you are going to become some sort of lemon. No lah, it is good. Of course, I would like everyone to know that you should take all sort of food in moderation. So don’t think of drinking this every single day and hope that it will be healthy for you. You are dosing yourself with Vitamin C and although I doubt that there will be some averse effect, it would be better to drink this perhaps once per week or so.
