Emergen-C: my take


Personally, I love this. My favorite flavor is tangerine, and I like the way the fine little Vitamin C molecules mushroom out of the cup when you pour it in. I also like how it fizzes with water.

Okay, but the real reason I like it is that I find it to be quite helpful, particularly when that tell-tale sore throat creeps into the recesses of my throat every once in a while. There isn't much of a consensus in the scientific/medical community on whether Vitamin C "works" in combating viruses, but the evidence seems to lean in that direction, particularly when mass quantities of Vitamin C are involved (as they are in Emergen-C: 1,000 mgs).

Ladies, I recommend downing a cup or two of this when it's your time of month. Lowered estrogen levels tend to compromise your immunity, so it's a great time to supplement your diet with oranges and tangerines. Or, if you can't get a hold of them, orange or tangerine Emergen-C.
