Citric Acid (Naturally Fermented)

Nature-made. Purpose-driven. Never a synthetic preservative.

At YES, citric acid plays a smart, supportive role - not the one it’s often misunderstood for.

We use naturally fermented citric acid, not synthetic, to help keep each shot fresh, balanced, and effective without acting as a chemical preservative (like sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate).

Here’s why it matters:

Protects Nutrients Through pH Balance

Citric acid helps create the ideal pH environment to stabilize delicate vitamins, preserving their potency so your nutrients stay effective from the first sip to the last.

Freshness Without the Fake Stuff

By naturally supporting freshness, citric acid allows us to say no to synthetic preservatives - keeping YES clean, simple, and aligned with our uncompromising standards.

Supports Better Mineral Absorption

Citric acid helps enhance the absorption of key minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc by improving their solubility — helping your body actually use what you’re giving it.

A Note on Citric Acid (Fun Science, Made Simple)

Citric acid often gets a bad reputation because of cheap, synthetic versions commonly used in ultra-processed foods.
Ours couldn’t be more different.

Naturally fermented citric acid is derived through a fermentation process - similar to how probiotics or kombucha are made - resulting in a cleaner, more body-friendly ingredient that supports both stability and absorption without unnecessary additives.

Clean. Fermented. Functional. Purposeful.

 

A natural multitasker that helps keep your nutrients powerful, pure, and ready to absorb, just as nature intended.
