A Novel Formulation of a Multi-Vitamin Fortified Beverage for Hydration and Immune Support

The increasing global temperatures and frequency of heatwaves due to climate change have elevated the risk of chronic dehydration, particularly in arid regions. This study details the development and production process of a novel vitamin-fortified water designed to address this issue by providing essential hydration alongside key vitamins and electrolytes. The formulation centers on a concentrated vitamin extract comprising Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and α-Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E). The extract is stabilized using Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-based surfactants and Rosmarinic acid as a natural preservative. This concentrate is then diluted in biologically active water (BAW) to produce the final beverage. The resulting product is a colorless, palatable liquid with a pH of 6.0, intended to support hydration, bolster the immune system, and provide essential micronutrients. This Work outlines both conventional solution preparation and a non-conventional, integrated mixing process for the vitamin concentrate.
