Get your vitamin C from food instead. Kiwi, strawberries, orange, broccoli, grapefruit, red peppers.

I agree but I actually like drinking these when I feel a cold coming on. The science may be bunk but I like it during those times and not much really in between

Like you said, haven't seen the science back this up. Marketing hype

As somebody who hates taking anything . . . I actually like the flavor of these, and you have the added bonus that they carbonate the water. It isn't orange soda, but it is pretty good.

Hard to say what the current batch is, but when someone asked a few years ago it was about 1.5 years out.

Amazon has applied the buy one get one 50% off to the 60 count. If you add two to your cart the total is $22.09 for 120 with 5% off, or $11.05 each ($18.25 with 15% S&S, or $9.12 each).

Yup, the general medical consensus is that it can't be bad - at worse you'd just get kidney stones and we'd just piss out the extra vitamin C anyways. We generally consume a lot worse things like beer/sodas so taking more vitamin C is a general good thing.

so if it makes you "feel" better then just go ahead and take it

I feel the same. And when I got covid and when I'm sick, I'll put 2 to 3 of these in a pint sized bottle. Gotta drink extra water for stones, but I've used these long enough to know that it's not all placebo.

Interestingly though when I'm sick, I tend to have clearer urine. When I take it as a precentive, it tends to be more yellow. Hydration is usually the same.

So, my unscientific approach would make me feel as though our bodies do use it when we are sick and it's more visible when I'm not sick.

I also read somewhere that you could take 1 gram per hour for every hour you were sick so long as you drank enough water. Vit c in higher concentrations acts as a natural microbial/viral. I wasn't brave enough to do it every hour, but I've taken larger concentrations and seem to feel better. I've taken 4 to 5 1000MG a day though. Watee is the key though or you will get stones.


Thbaks op! This is a great deal and just in time for the FSA!

We keep a stock of these Emergen-C packets for when we feel colds coming on, so even if it is just placebo, it feels like it helps.

However the raspberry flavor is so much better than the orange

Too funny. Just took one a few minutes before seeing this. Whenever I feel a sore throat or clogged ear coming on I take one of these packs and head to bed early to chase away whatever cold is coming.

Folks should know that citric acid is primarily made from feeding Aspergillus niger (a mold) sugar in an industrial process. Minimal actual citrus juice is used in making this product. They put the picture of the citrus on the pack to make you feel it is natural, but it is a fairly industrial process that doesn't use citrus fruit that is used by the industry when including the ingredient "citric acid."

Costco Online has 120 for $27 (23 cents each vs the 18-22 cents this Amazon deal offers).
