Fuze Beverage, commercially referred to as simply Fuze (pronunciation: fu-zee), is a manufacturer of teas and non-carbonated fruit drinks enriched with vitamins.Currently the brand consists of five vitamin-infused lines: Slenderize, Refresh, Tea, Defensify, and Vitalize. The use of vitamins, amino acids, and herbs, and alternative sweeteners such as crystalline fructose places Fuze products in what is known in the industry as the "new age" beverage category.

 

 

Ingredients

Some consumers may choose Fuze products over other drinks because they wish to avoid high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which has been tentatively linked to obesity and diabetes; the alternative sweetener used in Fuze is crystalline fructose, which is chemically distinct from HFCS, although it is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize "from a fructose-enriched corn syrup". 

 

Since crystalline fructose is about 5.0% sweeter than high-fructose corn syrup, it adds fewer calories to a sweetened food or drink compared with table sugar or HFCS, resulting in Fuze products' lower calorie content than other bottled drinks.

 

Side-effects

There is no mention of possible side-effects on Fuze beverage containers. However, Gambooge (Garcinia Cambogia), which is one of the ingredients of Fuze Slenderize beverages, is suspected as toxic to the liver.
