Citric acid is a healthy, natural preservative. It also has a pleasant, tangy taste and can help your body absorb minerals better.
We included citric acid in many of our Re-Lyte products because it's one of the best natural preservatives around. It also has a tangy flavor that adds something special to Re-Lyte's taste.
In addition to these two practical benefits, citric acid has an interesting health benefit (especially when it comes to Re-Lyte)— it helps your body absorb minerals better. Research shows that citric acid improves your gut's ability to absorb calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.
As you may know, most of our Re-Lyte products are a healthy source of calcium and magnesium, among other essential minerals. And the coconut water powder in many of our Re-Lyte products contains trace amounts of phosphorus and zinc as well. So the citric acid in Re-Lyte could help you get more nutrients from each sip.
Like all the ingredients in Redmond Life products, we only source high-quality citric acid from natural sources. The citric acid we use comes from fermented cassava and is kosher-certified, halal-certified, and Non-GMO Project Verified. It is purified after the fermenting process and then tested for possible contaminants, including yeast and mold. Learn more here.
If you're looking for an option that doesn't include citric acid, check out our Unflavored Re-Lyte or Re-Lyte Caps.
