USER'S OPINION
Sylvester Stallone "took a packet of Emergen-C every 45 minutes or an hour"
For a while I thought I was going to die... But I took a packet of Emergen-C every 45 minutes or an hour..." Tougher than tough, America's rough guy Rambo faced heavy-weight horrors and conquered them all. A little more human, Sylvester Stallone had a harder time of it. In First Blood he had to plow through icy waters and torrential downpours and often slept outside with a wind-chill factor of 45 degrees below. Rambo may have taken it all in stride, but Stallone the man credits his survival to Emer'gen-C
John Balik "Alacer's Emer'gen-C Lo-Cal is the centerpiece of my vitamin supplementation"
I start the day with Alacer's Emer'gen-C Lo-Cal, two packets in my insulated coffee mug, which gives me 2,000 milligrams of Vitamin C. I don't drink coffee, so this is what I sip the first half hour I'm awake. Alacer's Emer'gen-C Lo-Cal is the centerpiece of my vitamin supplementation. I use 6 to 10 packets per day depending on my stress level and if I feel as though I may be coming down with something. My total Vitamin C intake is 10 to 15 grams per day. In addition to the ascorbate powder, I take one gram of ascorbate with each of my five regular feedings. At bedtime, which is usually between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., I use Alacer's sublingual melatonin and the company's night time C product, CMA. This combination works very well for me, providing restful, uninterrupted sleep with no hangover. Before switching from conventional ascorbic acid to Alacer's ascorbates, I found that my stomach and intestinal tract couldn't tolerate much above eight grams per day.
Fran Drescher "It really does help"
I'll bolster my energy and resistance by taking two Emer'gen-C powders. It really does help
Jeremiah Bishop "Refreshing beverage that is good for you"
I have used Emer'gen-C daily for the last three years. Emer'gen-C is an integral par of my nutritional strategy for optimum performance. the best thing about Emer'gen-C is that it is an instant way to enjoy a great tasting, refreshing beverage that is good for you, no matter where I am racing or training.
Chris Eatough "Emer'gen-C has the vitamins and minerals I need to stay health and energized"
My life is full of training, racing, and traveling, which puts a huge strain on my immune system. the vitamins and minerals in Emer'gen-C keeps me healthy, strong and ready for more action. Emer'gen-C has the vitamins and minerals I need to stay health and energized, and it's easy to take anytime. I love the taste of the Lemon-Lime Emer'gen-C. It adds just the right amount of flavor to my water without too much sweetness.
Chuck Norris "I really appreciate it!"
I just wanted to let you know the program you have me on is working quite well. I have been traveling quite extensively with Vice President Bush being Master of Ceremonies for his rallies. Then I will be leaving for Israel right after the election. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for being so concerned about my condition. I really appreciate it!
Chris Cutugno "I love Emergen C"
I love Emergen C! I've never been a coffee drinker and have always had problems in the morning getting my body ready for the day. Not only have I seen a noticable increase in my energy level throughout the day, but I feel healthier, it has improved my workouts, and I now watch as my colleagues cope with the flu & colds, while I drink my Emergen C and seem to avoid most problems. I can't say enough about how easy and affordable it is, and of course the health benefits as opposed to coffee or any caffeine are obvious. Great product that I'm sure most will enjoy!
Aaron "This product is great any time"
This product is great any time, but is especailly nice right away in the morning. I have tried the Strawberry, Rasberry and the one with Glucosamine. You really get a boost of energy with the Rasberry one. My future brother-in-law is big into his health and turned me on to it, he said to take it on an empty stomach for better results. It really helps to pick me up in the morning for a longer, better work-out. I suggest any of the one's with the energy boost in the morning, and the Glucosamine one later in the day to help rebuild your tissue and joints.
Kelley "I highly recommend this product."
This mixture of vitamins always gets me going in the morning and when I feel run down in the afternoon. I also take it when I feel a cold coming on and it works wonders by helping to fend off those sniffles and cold symptoms. I highly recommend this product.

FAQ
How many flavors of Emer'gen-C are there?
We currently produce 14 different flavors or mixtures of Emer’gen-C. They are, Lemon/Lime, Tangerine, Raspberry, Cranberry, Orange, Tropical, Strawberry for Kids, Strawberry for Adults, Tangerine Power for Joints, Coffee, Mixed Berry Hi-Calcium, and our three unsweetened formulas, Lite, Lite with MSM, and Lite Triple Power with Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
What is the difference between regular Emer’gen-C and your Lite Emer’gen-C flavors?
The three “Lite” formulas are unsweetened and are available in a light, neutral citrus flavor. Also, the Lite formulas contain only three B Vitamins, B3, B12, and Folic Acid.
Is Emer'gen-C Gluten free?
Yes. All of Alacer products are Gluten Free.
What is Aspartic acid?
Aspartic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid; it is not a sweetener.
What is MSM and what does it do?
MSM is a non-metallic sulfur compound that occurs widely in nature. It is nontoxic, physiologically active, and possesses some anti-inflammatory properties.
Is “Aspartate” the same as “Nutra-Sweet?
No. People often confuse aspartate with Aspartame, commonly known as Nutra-Sweet or Equal, the artificial sweeteners. Aspartate, also known as aspartic acid, is a naturally occurring amino acid, a building block for proteins and an important metabolyte.
How much ‘sugar’ is in Emer’gen-C?
Except for our unsweetened Emer’gen-C Lite formulas, Emer’gen-C is sweetened with fructose with the amount ranging from 5 to 6 grams depending upon the flavor. The highest calorie count in any Emer’gen-C flavor is 30 (which is Emer'gen-C Strawberry for kids). The highest calorie count on the basic Emer'gen-C is 20 calories.
What are Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
Glucosamine Sulfate is derived from shellfish and helps to rebuild damaged cartilage. Chondroitin Sulfate is derived from animal cartilage and reduces the breakdown of existing cartilage. In addition, both Glucosamine and Chrondroitin act as an anti-inflammatory. Alacer Corp. supplies Glucosamine and Chondroitin in its Tangerine flavored Power for Joints Emer’gen-C sweetened with fructose as well as in its unsweetened formula, Triple Power.
What is different about your Nutritious Coffee Emer’gen-C?
The main differences are that this Emer’gen-C product contains a level teaspoon of Columbian Decaf Coffee, has no calories and contains 500 mg of Vitamin C as Mineral Ascorbates rather than the usual 1,000 mg found in our regular product.
Is it OK for someone who is pregnant to take Emer’gen-C?
While we do have information that many pregnant women take Emer’gen-C without complications, this is a question that should be answered by your physician before using any product of this nature.
I have heard that Emer’gen-C is a good product to take for a ‘hangover’. Is this true?
That has been reported to us as a true statement. Due to the dehydration effect that alcohol can have, the electrolyte replacement aspect of Emer’gen-C can help rehydrate the body and help with this problem.
Will Emer’gen-C cure the ‘Common Cold’?
While we do not make that specific claim, some of our customers claim that Emer’gen-C helps them maintain a more healthy body and consequentially may help you when you experience cold symptoms. There is no known ‘cure’ for the common cold.
How long will my unopened packages of Emer’gen-C maintain their potency?
Under normal conditions and not exposed to extreme heat or cold, Emer’gen-C has a shelf life of 24 months.
How many packets of Emer’gen-C should I take in one day?
We recommend two or more packets a day, however it depends on the individual’s age, weight, health, and physical activity. We sponsor a number of athletes and hear of active people every day who take a much higher quantity.
Why do you have a Strawberry for Kids and a Strawberry for Adults Emer’gen-C? What’s the difference?
The Strawberry flavor is our ‘Multi-Vitamin’ product. It contains the A, B, C, D, E and K Vitamins. The difference between them is in the dosage of vitamins. Also, the Strawberry for Kids is sweeter tasting.
In light of this, how many of the ‘regular’ Emer’gen-C packets are recommended per day?
Again, we recommend that you take two or more packets each day to help you maintain a more healthy body. Many of our customers report that they will take an Emer’gen-C when they become tired or ‘run down’, as the B Vitamins mixed with the 7 Mineral Ascorbates help restore their energy. Some typical use patterns include:
- One packet in the morning to get going.
packet at that 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm energy low many people experience.One after exercising to replenish lost electrolytes and rehydrate the body
Will I have trouble sleeping if I take Emer’gen-C late in the day?
This is not a common problem, but just as some people experience restlessness or sleeplessness when doing cardio exercise late in the day, this depends on the individual. There are no stimulants like caffeine or ephedrine in our product, so this should not be an issue.
Is Emer’gen-C OK for persons with diabetes?
We make three Emer’gen-C “Lite” formulas without sweeteners of any kind for our customers with Diabetes. Please consult with your personal physician to determine if our other flavors with Fructose are ok for you.
What is the source of energy?
- Minerals assist the body with energy production.
Vitamin C supports adrenal function and helps with fatigue and slow metabolism. When minerals and Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) are combined in the same. molecule, Mineral Ascorbates are formed. The advantages of linking minerals with ascorbic acid are meaningful.- Ascorbic acid, by itself, is quickly absorbed through the intestinal tract and afterwards, excess quantities are rapidly excreted from the body . In fact, studies show that approximately 73% of ascorbic acid ingested gets removed from the body in less than 24 hours. In contrast, only approximately 5% of the Mineral Ascorbates are eliminated during the same time period.
- It is this almost complete absorption of these energy nutrients by the body’s 70 trillion cells, in combination with the instant absorption provided by the unique delivery system of effervescent Emer’gen-C that delivers the SUPER ENERGY.
- B12, in particular, is the “energy” vitamin, as it increases energy level, whether obtained from eating B12 foods or from supplemental use.
- Alpha lipoic acid plays an essential role in cellular and muscular energy production by helping the body burn sugar.
Can you overdose on Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is water soluble and nontoxic even in large doses. Mineral Ascorbates, our nonacidic form of Vitamin C, is generally free of the side effects common in taking large doses of ascorbic acid Vitamin C, such as; diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn. But, it is possible to over saturate the body’s tissue fluids with Vitamin C, with diarrhea being the most common and usually the first signal.
Why do you recommend 2 or more packets a day?
That is more than 2000% of the RDA for Vitamin C! Doesn’t the body just eliminate the extra?
The body will eliminate what it can’t absorb through the urine. However, Vitamin C, when reacted with minerals and transformed into a nonacidic state, is absorbed by the body by up to 85 to 95% more than ascorbic acid.
What is the source of each ingredient? Are they synthetic?
Some of the ingredients are from natural sources and some are synthetic. Synthetic vitamins have the same molecular structure as naturalvitamins and are indistinguishable by the body.
What is the source of the natural colors and flavors?
The colors and flavors are derived from natural sources. Emer’gen-C does not contain MSG or artificial colors and flavoring.
What is the age group for the Strawberry Emer’gen-C for Kids?
Age 4 and older, but always check with your physician first.
Is it safe for children if they are already taking a multivitamin?
Some vitamins are fat-soluble and can be toxic if taken in excess. This is a question best answered by your physician or pharmacist.
Are all the Emer’gen-C formulas considered a multivitamin or just the strawberry?
Just the strawberry is considered a multivitamin. The other Emer’gen-C formulas don’t contain all the necessary nutrients to be classified a multivitamin.
Isn’t there a lot of sodium in Emer’gen-C?
A single Emer’gen-C packet only contains 60 mg or 3% of the daily value (2,400 mg for 2,000 calorie diet).
I am very active and have knee problems. How many packets of Power for Joints or Lite Triple Power can I take a day?
It is generally recommended that an individual takes, 1,500 mg of Glucosamine and 1,200 mg of Chondroitin daily. That’s the equivalent of 3 packets daily
Can I put this in tea or coffee?
Yes. It is recommended that Emer’gen-C be used in combination with water, however; our studies indicate that you can add Emer’gen-C to tea, coffee, and juice without loss of any significant nutritional value.
Will the ingredients still be active if I carry it around in my water bottle for a few hours?
Although Emer’gen-C tastes better if you drink in immediately, it will remain effective for 6-8 hours, and longer if refrigerated.
How do I know if I should take MSM or Glucosamine/Chondroitin for my joint aches?
MSM is commonly used as an anti-inflammatory, while Glucosamine rebuilds cartilage and Chondroitin replenishes the fluid between joints. Both act as an anti-inflammatory.
