“熬最晚的夜，喝最補的水。” 近日，某便利店的“熬夜水”火出圈。
目前，這款售價20元左右的熬夜飲用水在川渝地區的線下店已經脫銷。
For many shoppers, it can be quite difficult not to notice a drink on store shelves with a whole ginseng root soaking in every bottle.
"Stay up a whole night and drink the whole thing" is the botanical drink's advertising slogan, which claims that it can help people regain energy.
About a month ago, the drink, simply called "The Whole Thing", first retailed at Lawson convenience stores. Now it has become a trending topic on Chinese social media.
botanical /bəˈtænɪkl/ adj. 植物（學）的
該商品的廣告号稱“熬一整夜喝一整根”“1瓶=20片幹人參”。但檢視該飲品的詳細配料表可以發現，飲品中的人參為人工種植五年以下人參。
從業十餘年的長白山特産商表示，“一整根”中的人參為人工種植而非林下參，從産品圖檔來看，若一次性購買類似大小粗細的人參50根以上，一根批發價為2元左右。
According to the manufacturer, the ginseng used in the drink is farmed and less than five years old. Some trade insiders said that the wholesale price for such ginseng is only about two yuan each.
據“一整根”的産品介紹，1瓶＝20片幹人參，解決熬夜後遺症；益智、開心、明目、除邪氣、止驚悸、定魂魄、安精神、主補五髒；調節肌體新陳代謝。
那麼，“一整根”的産品效果真的這麼神奇嗎？
專家：少熬夜，多補覺
業内人士稱，“它更像是一種食物成分，是以其藥用效果可能非常有限。 ”
And it's more like a food ingredient so its medicinal effect could be very limited.
據心血管醫生王星，這種聲稱可以幫助人們修複熬夜所導緻的虛弱的産品隻是一種營銷噱頭。
他表示：“熬夜帶來的傷害是不可逆轉的，比如身體逐漸感到虛弱等。熬夜隻會增加患心血管疾病的風險。”為了避免熬夜對身體帶來的傷害，人們需要做的就是好好睡覺。
Wang Xing, a doctor specializing in cardiovascular medicine, said marketing a product as something that can help people recover from burning the midnight oil is just a promotional stunt.
"The damage of staying up the whole night, such as feeling weak, is irreversible. It can only increase the risks of cardiovascular disease," Wang said. He added that all people need to do to avoid symptoms caused by staying up late is to have a good night's sleep.
stunt /stʌnt/n. 噱頭，作秀
cardiovascular disease：心血管疾病
據中國新聞周刊，北京營養師協會理事顧中一表示，人參的營養價值整體上證據仍然不足。治療疾病的時候，人參都不足以作為一線的藥物來推薦。人參主要的功效是抗疲勞，對所謂的熬夜損傷的修複幫助不大。“關鍵還是要少熬夜、多補覺。”
中國農業大學食品科學與營養工程學院副教授朱毅則表示，人參水雖然有一定提神醒腦的功效，但不适合所有人喝。“一整根”也在其網店産品詳情頁上标明，感冒發燒人群、嬰幼兒、孕婦、哺乳期婦女及14歲以下兒童不适用該産品。
更重要的是，“一整根”實際上隻是普通食品，原則上不能宣傳功效。
