For a non-drinker, this question may seem strange, but from a scientific point of view, the situation looks different. Vodka can indeed contain vitamins!
As is known, vodka consists of rectified spirit and purified water. There can be no vitamins in the rectified spirit, and the concentration in water can be considered negligible. But that's not all!
In most cases, manufacturers add various components to enhance the flavor. Most often, this is sugar, which contains vitamin B2. Seems like a little? Let's continue. Some manufacturers generously use honey instead of sugar, which is rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamins K, E, C, and provitamin A. Moreover, their content in honey is quite high.
But that's not all. Sometimes, ascorbic acid, which is vitamin C, is added to vodka during production.
Additionally, in some cases, succinic acid is included in the composition of vodka. Although it is not a vitamin, it is very beneficial: it helps with hangovers, improves digestion, and contributes to skin beauty.
Of course, the concentration of all these beneficial substances in vodka is low. That’s why our people consume it in large quantities! Nevertheless, it is important to drink responsibly. If someone starts to reproach you for a legal shot after a workday, feel free to list the vitamins contained in vodka.
As for the composition of vodka, we dedicated a separate article to this question: What is added to vodka at factories? And, most importantly, why?
