Emergen-C Immune+ 1000mg Vitamin C Powder, with Vitamin D, Zinc, Antioxidants and Electrolytes for Immunity, Immune Support Dietary Supplement, Raspberry Flavor - 30 Count/1 Month Supply

Contains Maltodextrin- increases the growth of bacteria & makes you more susceptible to disease

I used to love this, thinking it was healthy. But it contains Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin increases the growth of bacteria such as E. coli, which is associated with autoimmune disorders. Maltodextrin changes your gut bacteria composition in a way that makes you more susceptible to disease. It can suppress the growth of probiotics in your digestive system, which are important for immune system function. If all the above weren't enough, the high GI of maltodextrin causes spikes in your blood sugar level. Maltodextrin makes you more likely to get sick and more susceptible to disease. Hopefully the manufacturer will find an alternative to the Maltodextrin. I like the product otherwise and bought a Lot of it. I'm posting this hoping the company will change the formula as the Maltodextrin ruins the benefits

Tested positive for Covid during this current spike but survived with flying colors

Was surprised to test positive for Covid because I wear a mask and social distance and have used a ton of sanitizer since February. My Covid case was very mild and I recovered my lost sense of smell and taste within less than two weeks. I am 75 years old and have issues with cholesterol and blood pressure. My doctor believes that taking this product every night for all these months is a big reason my body was able to recover so quickly and my symptoms were so mild. I really recommend using it...it has become my preferred bedtime drink

Nice to escape the crud!

Love this product. For the past few years (before this product was recommended to us), we have gotten sick while traveling - plane, cruise, bus excursions, etc. Like clockwork, we would develop an upper respiratory illness a day or so after returning home. We are both healthy people with good immune systems, which is why these colds were so aggravating. Long story short, we took Emergen-C Immune Plus before the last two trips (flight & cruise in December and same the first of April) and no illness for either of us. I'm not crazy about the fizziness but I just mix it up and let it sit to "fizz out" for a few minutes and then drink it down. We started drinking it two weeks before the trip and continued on a few days more days in. FWIW, we have always taken vitamin C and still do for a variety of reasons, but it did not prevent us from succumbing to the viruses. Something in this blend seems to do the trick, or we were extremely lucky this year when everyone around us was getting sick with colds and the flu

Gross flavor

I got this because I always feel like crap. I attempted to drink it with water (as directed) and couldn't get past the kids medicine taste. Then I tried it in kool aid, thinking it would blend in some, it was still gross. So unfortunately I cant tell you about how great I feel because I couldn't get past the taste. I still feel like crap. Individual Packaging is nice for on the go...if you can drink it

Works for me! Best price has been here at Amazon

Best price has been here at Amazon ($9.34/30 w subscribe and save). I've been using this since the beginning of 2016 and have rarely been sick. And those few episodes have been minor (just cold symptoms for a couple of days maybe once or twice in the last year and a half. It's really nice when you can't remember the last time you've been ill.). I generally take a packet a day with water, some days I forget to take. I do take 1 or 2 packets for a few days if I start to feel just a little sign of a cold coming on and the symptoms go away. Whether this is helping or it's the placebo effect doesn't matter to me. As long as I stay well, it's worth it for me

Emergen-c to keep you healthy

Bought these on Amazon after local store stopped getting the orange version in stock due to pandemic and price gouging online. Have been taking these daily to prevent getting sick and it has worked so far. Never had the citrus flavor, but figured I'd give it a shot - this is now my preferred flavor. Tastes like lime /lemonade but not acidic. Highly recommended to help boost your immune system during cold / flu season

Tasty Placebo

I'll preface this by stating for the record that I think supplement based immune boosters are snake oil, based upon available evidence. I will also state that these are an enjoyable enough experience to consume that it largely doesn't matter. I'll take one when I'm feeling under the weather anyway, just in case, and at the insistence of my wife. You get a bunch of packets of tasty orange drink mix that is basically just a dissoluble vitamin supplement, with the details of the contents on the box. It has a pleasant fizz to it in water, and tastes not entirely unlike an orange kool-aid or similar (if much less sweet). Overall, it doesn't hurt anything to have on hand

Winner winner!

I have taken this product every day since October, 2015 and not gotten sick once. As an elementary school teacher, having a fortified immune system has been a terrific gift! My district gave away a brand new car to a teacher with perfect attendance and while someone else won my car, I was so proud to be able to be in the running for it. Btw, I usually get sick about twice a year throughout cold and flu season so not going through that was a blessing. The price of this product at our local grocery store is about $2 more per box than the Amazon price, plus the store often runs out of this flavor so I have to go back in a couple of days or compromise to a flavor that I am not as happy with. But Amazon has it and I didnt have to go get it. The product is a winner and the Amazon price and service is a winner so there is no way to go wrong on this

EMERGEN-C DOES JUST WHAT IT ADVERTISED, GREAT TASTE AND PRICE

I Really liked/ Appreciate that EMERGEN-C IMMUNE (cherry) Does Just What I Advertises. I orded this product about the end of October because I had symptoms of a bad cold. This item came quick and as soon as I took a pack, to my surprise, within 24 hours my symptoms ( sore throat, body aches and sinus pressure),were significantly less. I've tried other supplements, though in pill form, that I didn't see any difference. Also. EMERGEN-C SUPER ORANGE Is Great. These Really Do Help Give Your Immune System A Boost. I Will Purchase Again and Highly Recommend

Like kid's cough liquid…

I always buy emergen C super orange flavor every few months during the pandemic cuz this one can increase our immune system. This is my first time trying raspberry. However, the flavor drinks like kid's cough liquid. And the expired date is short. Usually it has more than 1 year. I have to drink it fast to avoid expiring. But there are several vitamins and it's good for our health
