Emergen C (Vitamin C) is a vitamin supplement used to treat and prevent vitamin C deficiency (scurvy). Emergen C contains vitamin C, as well as vitamin B and other important nutrients such as zinc and magnesium, as well as electrolytes and antioxidants. Together, these work to supplement the levels of these nutrients already in your body, boost your immune system, and help in energy production. Emergen C also has other important health benefits such as boosting immunity, improving tissue repair, and increasing bone strength, among others. Vitamin C occurs naturally in many foods, but supplementing these levels with a vitamin can have many positive side effects and reduce the risk of developing vitamin C deficiency. Each dose of Emergen C has 1000 mg of Vitamin C, which is equivalent to 10 oranges. It is also caffeine free, and made with natural flavours and no artificial sweeteners.
