Health Benefits

Lemons are incredibly high in Vitamin C. A single lemon can provide about 31 mg of Vitamin C, which is about 51% of the recommended amount for your daily intake. Luckily for you, there is one giant lemon in each one of our lemonades. Providing you with not only half your daily intake of Vitamin C, but a little fiber as well - which may reduce your overall risk of heart disease and stroke. 

We all know that a diet full of healthy fruits, vegetables may help prevent certain kinds of cancer. However, specific to citrus fruits there have been some studies to show that people who consume lots of citrus like lemons, may have a lower risk of cancer. This could potentially be due to the fiber as well as the alkalizing benefits of citrus fruits.

Our bodies absorbs an iron called heme iron from chicken, beef and fish quite easily. But our gut struggles to obtain iron from plant sources (non heme iron) due to lack of bioavailability. Vitamin C has actually been shown to improve this absorption process, ensuring that you absorb as much iron from your diet as possible. So vegans and vegetarians, drink up!

Fiber can be wonderful for optimal digestion, but unless you're eating the pulp of the lemon, you're missing out on this benefit. Thankfully, we don't skip on the pulp of the lemon. So as you sip your Brothers Lemonade, you're indeed getting little bits of the pulp. Studies also show that drinking lemonade stimulates the production of gastric juices in the stomach, saliva in the mouth and pepsin (a major digestive enzyme).

The National Kidney Foundation insists that drinking more water is key to healthy kidneys. Water is necessary in preventing stones from forming by diluting your urine and lowering the amounts of calcium and uric acid. Now, if you add lemon into the mix, you're two steps ahead of the game. Lemons contain citric acid and having more citric acid in your urine also can prevent those stones from forming. Not to mention, lemon juice can raise the PH and alkalize your urine. Again, preventing stones and promoting healthy detoxification.
