Emergen-C 1000mg Vitamin C Immune Support Powder - Tangerine Flavour, 30 Sachets

What Makes Emergen-C Different?

Emergen-C is more than just a vitamin C supplement – it's a comprehensive wellbeing booster designed for Aussies on the go. Each serving delivers 1,000 mg of vitamin C plus a unique blend of zinc, manganese, vitamin D, B vitamins, and electrolytes. This multi-nutrient approach supports your immune system, energy levels, and hydration all in one easy drink. The natural tangerine flavour is refreshing, and the powder is free from caffeine, artificial dyes, and high fructose corn syrup. It's also gluten‑free and suitable for vegetarians. Whether you're a tradie needing a pick‑me‑up or a busy parent, Emergen-C fits your lifestyle.

How to Use Emergen-C Powder

Using Emergen-C is simple. Tear open one sachet and pour the contents into a glass. Add 120–180 ml of water and stir until the powder dissolves. The mixture becomes slightly fizzy, indicating it’s ready to drink. For best results, consume immediately after mixing. One sachet provides one serving. Enjoy once daily, preferably with a meal or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Because it contains B vitamins, you might prefer to take it earlier in the day – but there's no caffeine to keep you awake.

Key Benefits of Emergen-C’s Formula

Beyond vitamin C, Emergen-C includes zinc and manganese to support normal immune function. A range of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and folic acid) helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, giving you a natural energy lift. Electrolytes such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium replenish what you lose through sweat – perfect after a work-out or a hot day. Vitamin D is also added to assist with immune health, and many Australians have low vitamin D levels. With natural sweeteners and only about 1 g of sugar per serve, it's a low‑sugar option that tastes good without the guilt.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements: Why Choose Powder?

Vitamin C comes in tablets, capsules, gummies, and powders. Powders are often absorbed more quickly because they're dissolved in liquid, and you can adjust your dose easily. Emergen-C’s single‑serve sachets are super convenient – just stash a few in your bag or desk drawer. No need to swallow large tablets. The fizzy drink mix is a pleasant alternative, and you get extra nutrients like B vitamins and electrolytes in one go. Mix one sachet with water and you're set.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water‑soluble vitamin that your body cannot make – you must get it from food or supplements. It's famous for supporting the immune system and acting as a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress. It also helps produce collagen for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues. While citrus fruits are great, a convenient supplement like Emergen-C helps you meet your daily needs, especially during cold and flu season or times of stress. With 1,000 mg per serve, it's a potent dose to keep your defence up.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

Each sachet provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C, well above the RDI for adults (75–90 mg). High doses are usually well tolerated, but some people may experience mild digestive upset like diarrhoea or stomach cramps, especially on an empty stomach. Start with one sachet per day and see how you go. The product also contains vitamin D (1,000 IU), zinc (10 mg) and other nutrients within safe limits. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription medicines, talk to your doctor before using. Always read the label and follow directions for use. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place.
