I need to up my lemon water intake. As of right now it's virtually non existent. I will go through stints where I will drink it, but the process of cutting the lemons and squeezing them everyday gets a bit tedious for me. (I know, I'm lazy and undisciplined) So, wondering if I would get similar benefit from buying a bottle of pure lemon juice and just dripping it into my water throughout the day...

Is there nothing else in the bottled? I know that Realemon in the green bottles doesn't taste the same...so not sure what's in it.

If it is indeed 'pure' I don't see an issue...wouldn't there be a preservative...?

Not that it would be harmful tho.


Do the best you can...maybe on your less busy days, do the real lemons.

I just rinse the lemon, cut it in half and squeeze into my glass of water.

Hi Hoagie, that's exactly what I have been using.

While I understand that squeezing fresh lemon juice is better, it has just been easier to use the bottled lemon juice.

It does help because when I have slacked off using it for a week I notice the difference. I feel better when using it as one of my detox methods.


Once in a while I will add slices of lemon.


Take care.

You are right on about the 'Real'emon. How ironic. I just need to stop being lazy. I always start out strong, and then start looking for shortcuts. Bit character flaw of mine.

Well, I had slacked off on lemon juice....like I'm talking over a year.
Then I bought a couple organic lemons...and guess what? Found them shriveled up a couple months later in the back of my fridge....lol.

i still haven't gotten back into it....once you stop...it's hard to get started again...haha.

Thanks goshawk! I'll have to look for a quality brand lemon juice. Lemon essential oil maybe...

Ive been trying to follow rbti that uses lemon water once an hour all day. seems to help everything.

Takes two minutes to squeeze two lemon and add water and sweetener. I suggest you use real lemons.
RBTI helps digestion, ph and mineral/sugar content.

I keep a cut lemon in the fridge and give it a squeeze into my glass. Takes 2 seconds (same as squeezing the bottled lemon thing, except less because you don't have to open the lid). And no need to find the squeezer. smile

I use essential oils instead of squeezing the fruit or juice. The oils aren't acidic, and I have lemon, lime and wild orange and it's nice to mix it up. I even bring them to the office to put in my bottles of water.

I used Santa Cruz juice for a while until I read bottled juice was worthless as the processing breaks down the enzymes that are susposed to do whatever it is that we're using it for (which I can't even remember anymore). So, I bought some more lemons and actually cut one this morning.

The lemon juice is to promote alkaline (not acidic) state in our body which is healthier.

I don't know if bottled is useless in that regard.

Actually, it is because of a recent visit my wife and I had with a naturopath that I was told I need to drink lemon water. She did the RBTI tests on both of us. She did not tell me to drink as much lemon water as what you are saying, but 2 lemons a day and then she wanted to retest after 2 weeks. This was a week and a half ago. I have been doing all her recommendations except the lemon water. Will be going back in the beginning of August to retest. Gotta get this lemon water going. Don't know why this simple task eludes me so...

Because of my scores she wanted me to up my calcium as well. Apparently, my ph is really alkaline in my saliva. But, very acidic in my urine. So, we have to equal things out. My absorption is not optimal.
