Multivitamin Drink Mix - 30 sachets

Pour the packet into an empty glass or bottle, add 4-6oz of water (4oz for a stronger taste, 6oz or more for a very mild taste), let it fizz for half a minute and then drink!

We suggest taking 1 packet of Ener-C once or twice per day. Because the main source of Vitamin C in Ener-C is mineral ascorbates, there is less chance the product will upset your stomach if you exceed 2 packets per day. If you are feeling dehydrated or ill, you may want to bump up your intake. The electrolytes and B vitamins will help with rehydration and energy, and the zinc may reduce the duration and intensity of symptoms of a cold or flu.

Although the vitamin C is listed on the label as ascorbic acid, as soon as you add water to this product, the ascorbic acid is converted into mineral ascorbates, due to the presence of sodium bicarbonate. If you do research on the Internet, you'll see that a common recipe for vitamin C in ascorbate form is to take ascorbic acid, then add baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water. So don't worry - even though the label says "ascorbic acid", as soon as you add water, all the ascorbic acid is converted to mineral ascorbates - a highly absorbable, non-irritating form of vitamin C.

If you still find yourself getting loose stools due to the Vitamin C, then just take 1/3 or half a packet at a time. Mixed with water and ice, it's as good as soda pop!

Keep in mind that vitamin C transits through the body very quickly, so to increase absorption: drink one packet at a time and sip slowly. It can also have a bit of a diuretic effect, so best not to drink it before bed (or you may have to get up in the night to pee). Or if you have kids that might wet the bed, don't let them drink any within 3 to 4 hours of bedtime.
