Emergen C

Packed with vitamin C and other nutrients, Emergen-C is a nutritional supplement designed to help boost and support the body's immune system. Many people take this product during cold and flu season or when they're already sick with a cold or the flu. A high dose of B vitamins combined with vitamin C has been shown to support a healthy immune system, so taking this product as directed can either shorten the duration of a cold or help to protect your body from getting sick. Emergen-C comes as a flavored powder that can be added to water to make a fizzy drink. It also comes in chewable and gummy forms. Different formulas contain different ingredients including vitamin D, extra zinc, probiotics, green tea, electrolytes, and melatonin, depending on which option you choose.

While Emergen-C is generally considered a safe product, it's always recommended that you speak to your doctor before taking this product if you are pregnant or nursing. Consuming too much vitamin C may cause some mild side effects, including abdominal cramping and diarrhea. It can also increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Ingesting over 50 mg of vitamin B6 every day for long periods of time may also cause nerve damage. When in doubt, ask your doctor if taking Emergen-C is safe for you while you are pregnant. The World Health Organization does not recommend supplementing with vitamin C while pregnant, so it's very important to take this product only when needed, and only for a short period of time.

Take Emergen-C when you feel the symptoms of a cold coming on, and only take it as directed per the product packaging instructions. It's usually best to consume this product in the morning since certain vitamins, particularly B vitamins, can boost your energy levels and may interfere with sleep. Only take one dose of this product per day and never exceed the recommended dose. Take it as needed, but avoid taking it long-term, and be sure
