I’ve been taking for about 1 1/2 months now. I take one in the morning and if I feel the slightest indication of a cold coming on I take another
in the evening. I’ve noticed a lot of people getting colds or flu and I’m around them in my work. If I feel a little scratchy throat or my nose is a bit stuffy or if I feel something going on in my ear I take one in the evening too. I may just take two a day through March as I’m in Massachusetts and we’re getting into the thick of it now. I’ve tried super orange, tangerine and raspberry and my favorite so far is raspberry. If I remember I’ll update this in a couple of months but so far this seems to work and a side benefit I noticed is that it gives me some energy that is sustained and feels natural. If you can’t wait for this, BJ’s has the 90 count variety pack for decent price.
I was skeptical about the benefits of taking this, but my personal trainer urged me to try it. I was sick so much last winter I figured, what the heck, give it a try. I tried taking just 1 packet a day and didn't notice much benefit. My trainer told me to take 2 a day. I weigh 245 lbs, so that may be why I needed to do that. After a week or 2 of taking it, I started noticing that I got less headaches, even though I'm still not getting enough sleep. I've always been really good at staying hydrated, so it's not just the extra liquid. I have been taking it for about 6-7 months now, and I have not full on gotten sick since. Sometimes I notice a scratchy throat or a bit of congestion, but my body seems able to fight it off. I really think this is beneficial. Tastes good too. Comes in orange, tangerine, raspberry.
I begin taking this in late summer and continue through April. I can count on one hand how many colds I've had in the past several years. I work childcare so I am exposed to a lot of germs from the toddlers and babies that I care for. This works great for me.
I bought this from Walgreens originally. It worked great then, but Amazon sells Emergen-C half the price. I wish the Emergen-C with vitamin D was as good of a deal, but this works well too. More energy, I haven't gotten sick since taking this for about 6 months. Not even a light cold. Prior to starting this I was very active, but still felt sluggish. 33 year old male/ 5'11"/185/ work out 3-4 times a week, have gotten energy boost since starting Emergen-C---take it about 3 times a week, 5 when I have been around sick people....Thanks
I am a slate room man so I am outside summer and winter. And in the winter that means I need to keep myself from colds. To do that I am big on this product.
At the first sign of a cold I immediately, and I mean immediately pour a packet of the fizzy powder in a 12 ounce glass of water (you can use less) and drink it down. Nice flavor and I can tell you that in the past 12 years that I have been using this (and my daughters and sons, oh and my wife) I get maybe one cold a season that sticks with me. Then I use this same powder but throw some Alka-Selzer Cold tablets in.
But now that I can buy it in bulk I will be using this more often to just keep my immune system ready.
Oh, and here is a note: I am sensitive to mold. Once exposed I can develop pneumonia quickly. But now when I am exposed and start feeling the weird sensation in my sinuses I immediately take a packet of this and lay down. Well in the past 7 years I have woken up feeling very good and have not developed pneumonia at all. And this after getting mold induced pneumonia at least once per year.
That's just the ramblings of an old man who has used the product for about 12 years now.

This product has saved me from the flu! As soon as I feel a hint of any symptoms, I mix a packet with water and then mix another a few hours later. I follow up the next day with 2 more packets. After a packet a day for the next couple of days, I am fine. The vitamin C helps tremendously.
The only drawback to this Orange flavor is that it is not very tasty. I previously had Tangerine flavor EmergenC and the flavor was tangy and fabulous! This Orange flavor is very bland, and I expected a better flavor.
This is a staple in my house. During cold and flu season, I try to remember to take one per day to help boost my immune system and ward off any germs that may be in my space. It's been a few years now and I can honestly say that the past few winters I have not experienced the same number or severity of colds that I had been getting in years past. This year has been particularly bad for cold/flu and so far I have not gotten it. This is one element to a healthy immune system I keep in my pocket to stay healthy along with regular hand washing and keeping my hands away from my face. The orange is a mild citrus flavor and is one of the less offensive/in-you-face flavors you could choose if you hate the taste of this kind of stuff.
I usually get the Emergen-C Immune+, and that's what I thought I was purchasing here. However, I'm good with this- the taste is much better than the Super Orange Immune+ blend, although the ingredients aren't as impressive. I've been a fan of Emergen-C for years and it can be helpful in boosting your immune system, shortening the duration of your cold or relieving a headache soon after it hits.
I usually pour the mixture into a 3/4 full water bottle and shake it up with the cap on until it fizzes up well. For me, this is the fastest and easiest way to enjoy Emergen-C, even on the go. Sometimes I toss in extra natural supplement powders like L-theanine, Vitamin C, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT), Tart Cherry extract, etc. It's a great way to get more bang for your buck without sacrificing the taste too much.
This orange flavor is sweet and tasty, but I also like the raspberry and citrus flavors just as much. I highly recommend this, although I'll be going back to the Emergen-C Immune+ after these two boxes are done.
I've been using this product DAILY for several months now. I bought it because I was sick with flu and cold symptoms for at least three quarter of a year. My health was deteriorating and my frequent trips to the doctor's office didn't help. Then I made some dietary changes, including consuming this product on a daily basis. I can say with absolute certainty that my immune system is very strong now.
Plus, it tastes really good. I don't recommend other flavors though. I've tried them all, and this one is the only one that doesn't taste like medicine or cheap candy.
A friend told me to take this any time I started feeling sick or my throat felt dry and I got it on a whim, it actually does work! It doesn't taste bad either, reminiscent of Tang, (not that I'm old,) I pour the powder into a waterbottle that's about 1/3 full and shake it up and gulp it down and feel great the rest of the day. First winter I haven't been sick in years, I'm a teacher so I expect to be sick by now but nope! This pack has 2 boxes in it, I keep one by my bed so I remember to take it in the morning and one downstairs so my husband remembers to take it as well.
