Lakewood Nurture Zesty Defense | Organic Citrus Juice with Vitamin C, Zinc and Ginger, 32oz Glass

Description

Lakewood Nurture Zesty Defense is a certified organic citrus juice blend formulated to support immune wellness. It combines organic lemon, orange, pineapple, and ginger with vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc, and turmeric. Bright, zesty, and warming, in a 32oz glass bottle.

What is it formulated to support?

Everyday immune wellness. The blend brings together vitamin C, vitamin D3, and zinc, three nutrients commonly associated with supporting normal immune function, alongside organic ginger and turmeric, botanicals long used in seasonal wellness routines. Calcium citrate is included for added nutritional support.

What nutrients are added?

• Vitamin C, as ascorbic acid, alongside the naturally occurring vitamin C in the citrus.
• Vitamin D3, as cholecalciferol.
• Zinc, as zinc gluconate.
• Calcium citrate, for added nutritional support.

Why turmeric with black pepper?

They work better together. Black pepper contains piperine, which supports the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric. Pairing them is a long-standing practice in traditional cooking, and it's why both appear in this blend rather than turmeric alone.

What does it taste like?

Bright and citrus-forward, led by real lemon with orange and pineapple behind it. Fresh ginger juice gives it a clean, warming bite, and the turmeric adds an earthy note underneath. Honey and maple syrup soften the tartness without making it sweet, and a touch of sea salt keeps the citrus sharp. Zesty and invigorating rather than sugary.

What is in it?

Organic lemon juice, organic orange and pineapple juice concentrates, filtered water, organic honey, organic maple syrup, organic ginger juice, calcium citrate, organic turmeric powder, sea salt, organic annatto extract, vitamin C, organic black pepper powder, vitamin D3, and zinc gluconate. See the ingredients section on this page for the full list in order.

Does it have added sugar?

It's lightly sweetened with organic honey and organic maple syrup. Those are the only added sweeteners. There is no cane sugar, no high-fructose corn syrup, and no artificial sweeteners.

Is it vegan or vegetarian?

It is vegetarian. It is not vegan, because it contains organic honey.

Is it made from concentrate?

Partly. The organic lemon juice and organic ginger juice are not from concentrate. The orange and pineapple are made from organic concentrates with filtered water. It's a formulated blend rather than a single-pressed juice. For Lakewood juices that are not from concentrate, see the Lakewood Organic line.

What gives it its color?

Organic annatto extract, a natural colorant derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. There are no artificial colors and no artificial flavors.
