|
DescriptionAlacer's Emergen-C is America's favorite vitamin C fizzing drink. The scientifically balanced packets contain 1000 mg of vitamin C as 7 mineral ascorbates (ascorbic acid salts), B vitamins and 32 active mineral complexes. Emergenc-C features a non-acidic, stomach-friendly formula to boost energy, support healthy metabolic function and promote immunity Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin that supports the immune system and helps protect cells from free radical damage. The human body does not produce vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. Free radicals are toxic byproducts of metabolic functions or are introduced from the environment (such as pollution and chemicals). Free radicals cause damage to cells and tissues, which is associated with cancer, heart disease, and age-related diseases. Vitamin C neutralizes harmful free radicals and helps protect the body from premature aging, infections and disease. Emergen-C delivers a natural energy boost with vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12. It also provides mineral salts known as electrolytes. Electrolytes such as sodium, chloride and magnesium help to control fluid levels in the body, maintain normal pH levels, and conduct transmission of nerve signals. Electrolytes stores can be depleted during hot weather or after intense workouts. Emergen-C can replenish lost electrolytes after prolonged physical activity and heat exposure.

Marvelous product Written by Cassia | View all my reviews Top 100 Reviewer Thursday, 06 May 2010 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I had first tried this product when I had a rather persistant cold, thinking "Couldn't hurt, might help" and was surprised by how tasty it was. The cold did go away a couple of days later, and I had 1-2 pouches a day. I wrote it off as a coincidence, but kept having 1 a day just because I really wasn't a fan of vitamin c tablets. I haven't gotten sick once since then (mid-November, and I usually get a cold at least once a month) and I really think it helped. Doesn't hurt that it is fizzy and delicious.

Emergen-C is an awesome product. I started drinking this about a month ago and I have noticed the difference in my energy level. It's almost doubled of what it use to be. |

I hadn't heard about this product until college, but definitely glad I did. It is an amazing immune booster, I will take it anytime I feel a cold or worse, the flu, coming on and it usually knocks it down cold. I have been taking it at night and had wondered why it was harder for me to fall asleep, I failed to realize it was also supposed to be an energy booster too. It was definitely a little harder to fall asleep, but I don't think it would of done much energy boosting if I took it in the morning. All in all I think it is great to keep around in the cold/flu season!
