Description
Emergen-C Crystals take the brand’s fizzy formula and make it portable: you pour the crystals straight into your mouth, where they pop and dissolve. It is labelled for adult use only.
What the label says
- Crystals dissolve in the mouth with a pop and fizz, according to the brand.
- No water or mixing needed.
- Natural orange flavour.
- Each packet contains vitamin C, vitamin B12 and zinc, plus B6 for energy metabolism.
- Use 1 or 2 packets per day to get up to 1,000 mg of vitamin C.
- For adult use only.
Who it may suit
Commuters, hikers and anyone without easy access to water may find these handy. They are not intended for children.
How it compares
Because up to 1,000 mg comes from two packets, each one supplies less than a classic Emergen-C sachet. The convenience of no water usually costs more per serving. 24 packets last 12 to 24 days depending on use. Check the NPN on the box image.
Single-serve packets and tubes are convenient for work, travel and gym bags. Keep them sealed until use, because moisture makes powders and tablets cake or start fizzing early, and remember that each packet counts toward your daily vitamin C total.
Tips for taking vitamin C
If plain vitamin C upsets your stomach, take it with a meal. Splitting a larger amount into a morning and an evening dose is a common way to make it easier to tolerate. Keep your total from all sources under 2,000 mg a day for adults, the tolerable upper intake level set out by Health Canada and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. People with a history of kidney stones should be cautious with high-dose vitamin C, and a pharmacist can check it against any medication you take.
