During cold and flu season, many people increase their intake of vitamin C. Emergen-C is a product offed by Alacer Corporation that delivers vitamin C and other supplements intended to boost the immune system in single serving packages. Flavors such as orange, raspberry and lemon lime are designed to be dissolved in water. Other formulations are intended to support a number of conditions and supplement needs. Knowing how to use Emergen-C products may help a person determine if the supplement is right for her needs.
Step 1
Fill a glass with six ounces of water.
Step 2
Open the package of Emergen-C, and pour contents into the glass of water.
Step 3
Stir with a spoon until mixed. The water will turn a color, depending on the flavor of the product, and small particles of the powder may float in the water.
Tips and Warnings
- If a person would like a stronger flavor, reduce the water used to four or five ounces. Hot water works with Emergen-C, but hot water may increase the "fizz" of the product, says the manufacturer.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration as not evaluated Emergen-C's claims as to its benefits to the immune system, explains the National Library of Medicine. Before beginning any supplement, including Emergen-C, discuss the supplement with a health practitioner to avoid complications or drug interactions.
