    Default Product Rave: Emergen-C

    I definitely am impressed with Emergen-C.

    I picked up a box of the ruby lemon flavored "Immune Defense" from Walgreen's on Tuesday when the first day of my full blown cold kicked in. I had to half the dosage because it seriously "detoxed" my system, which is good, but I don't want to be in the bathroom all day.

    Not only does it keep me cleaned out, but here it is at day 5 of my horrible cold and i already feel like I'm about done with it. Usually my cold last weeks. Yay Emergen-C!

    Isn't Emergen C the best..I had a massage @ the Yoga on Friday..The massage therapist asked if I wanted a bottle of water and brought me a 16oz, I asked her to please give me a larger size since I was parched..Anywho she asked if I wanted Emergen C, of course I said yes !! I was surprised when she asked if I wanted 4 packets !! I usually use 2 in a 32oz bottle, long story short we settled on 3..Then after they massage I added another. The taste was so much better and suprisingly I didn't get diarrhea. I actually felt a lot better, then I do when I just use 2.

    Now, I have a new drink! I've never tried the ruby lemon flavored one..I have to try it, I usually use tangerine or super orange.

    I'm happy you're feeling better !

    I am not particularly fond of the taste still, and I've just recently worked my GI tract up to tolerating one packet in a big glass. I'm getting there!

    Try a different flavor, if you decide to keep using it..I had to try a couple before I found 1 I liked. Lemon lime is beyond gross to me and so is strawberry.

    I love the cranberry flavor. Though ruby lemon sounds good as well.

    I think the Immune Defense only had the Ruby Lemon and plain Lemon flavor. Both suck. Oh well.

    I hate the orange and the tangerine, but I love all the other flavors. Emergen-C is the best! I have a tropical one after I work out, usually. BTW, in the winter, you can also drink it hot. Just get boiled water like you would for tea and stir the packet into that; it's the best thing for those winter sniffles.

    Do high doses of vitamin C cause diarrhea in a lot of people? Because this has never happened to me, and I eat the fuck out of that vitamin.

    I loooove Emergen-C. It's tasty and healthy with the perfect amount of fizz.

    I LOVE that stuff. Want to hear a travesty of justice? It's really expensive in Canada. I stock up when I'm in the US, and sometimes order it off ebay, but can't bring myself to pay $20 CDN for what costs $5 in Seattle. So I often go without.

    I do Emergen-C shots. A bit of water and a packet and its down in seconds. So tired of taking pills. I loved Ruby lemon flavor and cherry and tropical too.

    LOL, hubby is sick with a horrible cold and I told him this stuff has made my cold go away much faster and he says " That stuff makes me shit. I don't like it".

    I laughed.

    I'd love to try this, but the stomach stuff is scaring me. My stomach is very touchy and even Tonalin I can only take 2-3 a day and not every day or I'll never leave the bathroom.

    I assume that if it will affect my stomach it will be pretty quickly after i take it correct? So I can try it on a day when I'm not planning on going anywhere.

    Cameron-I have a pretty touchy stomach too. I can't even have orange juice and have to be careful on the 'Vit C fortified' drinks. I split up the Emergen-c packet and take half at a time and am usually fine.

    And yes, I've found it to be pretty quick if it's going to 'go wrong'.

    Yes, vitamin C will cause diarrhea if you're not used to consuming lots of it. It'll make you pee, too. I've never had Emergen-C give me the shits but I can see how it would.

    When I was little I ate half a bottle of cherry-flavored vitamin C chewables. It must have been at least 6000 mg of vitamin C, and I was about four years old. My mom didn't know I'd done it until we were at Wendy's a few minutes later and I sprayed black diarrhea ALL OVER the bathroom. It was the most incredible mess anyone's ever seen. My poor mother... no wonder we don't get along, I was such an awful little kid.

    Yep. I either split it up, or get a bigger glass of water.

    If my stomach doesn't like it, it usually starts acting up in an hour.

    I know! When I saw $5, my mouth dropped..Costco sells mixed double packs for $13 (w/o tax)..That's the cheapest I've found..Oh and Trader's carries their version for $5.99.
