Citrus Sunrise Vitamin C Blast — a symphony of citrus and tropical fruits bursting with vitamin C! A blend of orange, grapefruit, guava, and papaya creates a golden-orange drink that's one of nature's best sources of vitamin C. Guava is the vitamin C champion, containing 4x more than oranges — a single guava can meet 200% of your daily vitamin C needs, which is essential for collagen synthesis that keeps skin firm and elastic, as well as speeding up wound healing. Grapefruit contains naringenin and hesperidin, which have been clinically shown to help reduce insulin resistance, support weight loss, and protect the liver from fat damage. Papaya is rich in papain — a powerful digestive enzyme that helps break down protein and relieve bloating — and contains high levels of lycopene for protection against UV damage to the skin. Regular oranges contribute folate for cell health and nervous system support. This drink is perfect for anyone wanting glowing skin from within, recovering from illness, or looking to naturally boost their immunity.

💡 Tips
• Use freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice — packaged juice contains 30-50% less active vitamin C
• Grapefruit can interact with certain medications (statins, blood pressure medications) — consult your doctor if you're taking regular medication
• Add half a teaspoon of collagen powder for an extra collagen boost
