Holy Lemons



HOLY LEMONS! I found out about Holy Lemon's health drinks from a friend and tried a few bottles of it. You probably have to drink these continuously for a period of time to feel the effect. I drank 1 bottle for 3 days and felt no difference. No extra glow to the skin or shinier hair or more energised. No, none of that. My review below is based only on taste of the drinks and my thoughts on them. For more information of the health products, please refer to their official website Holy Lemon


Cleansing Charcoal

Apologies for the blurry image and half drunk bottle. I was thirsty and drank most of it before I remembered to take a picture. Also, it was from the fridge, slippery to hold with one hand and take picture with the other. I will find a nice tablecloth for the background next time. The bottle contains 450ml of liquid and feels big in the hand: I feel as if I were holding a bottle of shampoo. The label on the front has all the information on the drink. As a health drink, of course no sugar was added, which means it dosen't taste very good. This drink may help cleanse your body using charcoal as the main active ingredient. Charcoal is supposedly able to absorb impurities and toxins. So by having it in your body system, it should cleanse your digestive tract.

It had some whitish sediment at the bottom. When I finished the drink, there was some black charcoal-like sediment. I am certain they were, in fact, charcoal. Now that I see the charcoal, I am not sure how I feel about drinking it. Would it cleanse my organs or just make them dirtier by leaving bits of black residue inside? The Cleansing Charcoal tasted just like a very strong glass of lemon juice with a bit of mint, perhaps its the ginger in it. I could feel my enamel melting away. I strongly recommend drinking anything that is too acidic such as lemon juice, orange juice, and sodas with a straw to protect your teeth. Use a reusable bamboo straw. Let's save the Earth as well as our teeth.



Firming Collagen

This is a collagen water. I suppose it will detox your body and help you stay youthful. There was a lot of sediment in this one, bits of lemon floating around. If you cannot take spicy food, stay away from this drink because it is so spicy it burns in your throat. Yes, this is a spicy drink. Like a chilli and pepper mix. It contains cayenne. This is the worst drink I have ever had. Hard to believe? Try one yourself! Having said that, there are other flavours I have yet to try. If you have any recommendations, feel free to email me.



Verdict: 2/10
I will just squeeze my own lemon juice. Cheaper and straight from the source. Fresher than those in a bottle. The Holy Lemon's Cleansing Charcoal and Firming Collagen failed the taste test.
