HEALTH & BENEFITS

Although Tanzanian Tonic is not a health drink, the fruit juices used in it provide a good source of vitamins and antioxidants. Pineapple and papaya are rich in Vitamin C and can aid digestion. Guava and apricot have high levels of Vitamin A and C, which are good for skin health. Orange juice is a good source of potassium that can help in maintaining blood pressure. However, the benefits may be offset by the high sugar content of the nectar and grenadine.
