Placebo effect - or not?

I do like my Emegen-C -- but recent reports reverse previous research which said that high Vitamin C intake helps boost the immune system. Everything in moderation -- some things work better for other people and too much Vitamin C can cause more noticeable signs from your body that you should back-off.

Emergen-C by Alacer is the best

I try to always have a few packets in my purse. When you buy it by the box, they cost about 25 cents each, so they're a healthy and cheap alternative to sodas. All flavors (not just the Electro-Mix) have 100 to 200 mg of Potassium, which make it a great low to no sugar alternative to sports drinks if you're trying to keep your electrolytes in a healthy zone. Who needs to take vitamin supplements? Just have a few Emergen-C's on hand and drink it throughout the day. I especially like the new Acai Berry flavor.

I love Emergen-C. I often drink it laced with a few drops of grapefruit seed extract, which gives me a potent combination of vitamin C and natural antibiotic and antiviral properties. Even though I prefer the sugar-free Emergen-C for health purposes, I have to admit the ones with sugar just taste better. Loaded with all kinds of vitamins, I just wish Emergen-C would come out with a more sustainable container, that is, instead of little packets, how about a lightweight, recycled container of some kind? Or how about selling in bulk? Too much packaging.

I love Emergen-C for lots of reasons but this flavor is bad. Stick to the citric ones.
