For funsies I calculated the kcal, too, by calculating the mass and energy of the sugars. They would be 0.52995. But we dont do floats, so I rounded up to 1.

Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, was much lower than I anticipated but its there nonetheless.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This is miniscule in impact. Why would I do that? For science and the very important Realism™ thats why. This took me probably 2 hours to research and comb through by the way.

Also this contains fructose, but in tiny amounts. For this reason I have not added the fruit vitamin or whatever we use that represents fructose.

Testing

Applied changes locally. Unfortunately, vitamins appear to be internally counted in mg only, so anything below 1000 μg does not get applied at all, so eating 100 bee balm sprigs has the same effect as eating none in terms of vitamin C, but other comestibles have negligible nutrients defined that way, too. This sounds like eventually this is going to get counted.

Additional context

While researching this for funsies, there seems to be a good amount of evidence that it has strong antiseptic properties. This could possibly augment the already existing thyme oil.

If I feel especially motivated, I might do pine needle tea next.

Oh that's neat. It was one of the few I couldn't pinpoint down
