FAQ About the brand Emergen-C
Emergen-C is a powdered vitamin supplement drink mix that was introduced in 1978 by Alacer Corp. It's now owned by Haleon (formerly part of Pfizer/GSK consumer health). Each packet dissolves in water to create a fizzy, fruity drink packed with Vitamin C, B vitamins, and other nutrients designed to support your immune system and overall wellness.
Emergen-C products are manufactured in the U.S.A. and Italy.
Products
Emergen-C comes in several formats: powder packets you mix with water, gummies, chewable tablets, and crystals you take directly from the packet without water. Popular lines include the original Immune Support powders, Immune+ Triple Action, Energy Plus (with green tea caffeine), Hydration Plus, Emergen-Zzzz (with melatonin), and Emergen-C Kidz.
Yes — Emergen-C Kidz is formulated for children ages 4–13, with vitamin and mineral levels appropriate for kids. It comes in a Fruit Punch flavor. For ages 14 and up, the standard adult formulas are recommended instead.
BetaVia® is an algae-based beta glucan ingredient that supports immune health by activating key immune cells and promoting cell communication and signaling. It's a naturally occurring substance found in the Emergen-C Immune+ Triple Action formula.
Ingredients & dietary info
Each standard serving contains 1,000 mg of Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid and Zinc Ascorbate), which is 1,111% of the daily value. For context, that's more Vitamin C than you'd get from 10 oranges. Do not exceed 2,000 mg of Vitamin C per day from all sources combined.
Yes. All Emergen-C products are gluten-free. They've been tested by an independent third-party lab and verified to contain under 20 parts per million of gluten, meeting FDA's definition of gluten-free.
No to all three. Emergen-C does not contain aspartame or other artificial sweeteners, MSG, or FD&C artificial dyes. Products are colored using natural sources like beta-carotene, caramel color, or fruit and vegetable juice concentrates.
Most Emergen-C products do not contain animal-derived ingredients. However, certain products contain chondroitin sourced from cows, honey, or vitamin D3 derived from wool (lanolin). Always check the specific product label if this is a concern for you.
Sodium levels vary by formula, ranging from 30 mg to 110 mg per serving (about 1%–5% of the recommended daily value). Most formulas fall in the 60–70 mg range. Emergen-C is considered low in sodium and can fit into a healthy everyday diet.
Usage & safety
For ages 14 and up, empty one packet into a glass, add 4–6 oz of water, and stir. If you prefer a lighter taste, just add more water. Take one packet daily and do not exceed the suggested use on the label. Crystals can be taken directly from the packet without water.
Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or currently taking any medications. While Emergen-C is generally considered safe for most people, individual health situations vary and your healthcare provider is best positioned to advise you.
Emergen-C is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. Its statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Research on large doses of Vitamin C and cold prevention is mixed — some studies suggest modest benefits for people under high physical stress, but evidence is limited for the general population.
Store at room temperature and protect from moisture. The powder is moisture-sensitive and effervescent, which is why each serving comes in its own individual airtight packet. Bulk packaging is not available for this reason. The outer boxes are recyclable.
Emergen-C is widely available in the vitamin aisle of most major retailers, pharmacies, and grocery stores. It's also sold online through retailers like www.AllTravelSizes.com and is available wholesale through www.Weinersltd.com.
