Consumer Critique: RDA-12™

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

Did you know that almost all store-bought orange juices, even all-natural brands, are so overly processed that the vitamin C in them has to be added back in a synthetic chemical form (ascorbic acid)? The problem with this is that the ascorbic acid is created in a lab and only contains a fraction of the nutritious vitamin C complex necessary for optimal health. So “healthy” orange juice is actually full of artificial, rather than natural, ingredients! It’s important for us to get a minimum of 5-13 servings of fruits and daily, but very few of us are actually doing it - and when we're using juice with artificial nutrients, it's much less effective than full servings. When we don’t consume the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of whole fruits and vegetables, we lack the micronutrients that are important to our health, putting us at risk for a variety of health and wellness issues.

RDA-12^TM  has a solution. It is an all-natural, whole-food concentrate that helps you look, feel, and perform your best with real nutrition from whole fruits and vegetables, with the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 12 essential vitamins solely from 12 whole fruits and vegetables. It was specially developed by a team of accomplished Ph.D. level scientists, using cutting-edge science to preserve the micronutrients from the whole fruits and vegetables, even down to the nutrient-rich skin, stalk and peel. RDA-12^TM comes in a tasteless and odorless powder, in an easy-to-use shaker, so that you can sprinkle it on your family’s meals as a quick and convenient way to improve their favorite meals. 

I think my family eats pretty healthy in general, with lots of fresh, whole foods. However, this would be nice to use as insurance, especially for families with picky eaters. It really is tasteless (although my girls refused to eat it if they saw me sprinkle it on). It worked better in things where it could be stirred in (like yogurt or applesauce) or covered up (like sandwiches) - then they didn't notice it at all.
