Emergen - C Review

First off let me start off by recapping that I got a free sample pack of Emergen-C from Smiley360.com.  I'd also like to state I have an Auto-Immune disorder, and Deficiencies that keeps me on a lot of vitamins per my Doctors orders.  I've been trying to find new fun ways to take my vitamins.  I dislike pill vitamins, because they just feel like they sit in my stomach for a long time without digesting.  This makes my tummy a little upset for a while after taking my vitamins.  This isn't a huge problem, but enough of one that when I was offered to try out these drink vitamin mixes I jumped at the chance. 

For those that don't know here is what my kit was supposed to contain:
 
• Five packets of Emergen-C® Vitamin Drink Mix (flavors: Super Orange, Coconut-Pineapple, Strawberry-Kiwi, Immune+Citrus and Warmers Berry Medley) for you to try and share your additional samples with family and friends
• A pack of five $1.00 off coupons

Here is what I got:
• Five packets of Emergen-C® Vitamin Drink Mix (flavors: Coconut-Pineapple, 2 Strawberry-Kiwi, Immune+Citrus and Warmers Berry Medley)
• A pack of five $1.00 off coupons
 
I somehow ended up with no Super Orange and 2 Strawberry-Kiwi.  I guess I'll just have to wonder about the super orange because I just don't feel confident enough I'll enjoy it. 

Here is what my Mission page shared with me so I am going to share this with you exactly how it was stated on my page:
please keep in mind that this product:
  1. Does not "boost" or "enhance" your immune system
  2. Does not help prevent, treat or cure colds, flu or any other illnesses
  3. Does not give you increased energy levels
Emergen-C Vitamin Drink Mix will help provide support for your immune system.

Ok, after having said that I can say this probably isn't a product that I will be purchasing anytime soon.  There are several reasons for this but the main reason for this is that they just don't taste that great.  They also have a metallic aftertaste, they don't dissolve all the way leaving large particles in the drink, and the back of the package doesn't list the vitamins how other vitamins do its more like how a food package would (like in the picture to the left, I disliked this).  What I did like was how they fizzed that was cool.   

I hate Coconut so I didn't even try the Coconut-Pineapple; and I didn't get the Super Orange, so I didn't get to try that either. What I did try was the Strawberry-Kiwi, Immune+Citrus, and Warmers Berry Medley flavors.

Of the three the NEW Warmers Berry Medley is the only one I might purchase more of.  It has the same problems as the others though because it doesn't dissolve all the way either, it has a metallic aftertaste too, and the package also listed the vitamins like ingredients.  It also tastes like berry children's vitamins the chewable kind of like Flintstones.  Its not an awful taste, but that is what it reminded me of.  However it was warm, and a little soothing so I finished the whole thing.

The second best one I tried was the Strawberry-Kiwi and again it had the same three problems I listed above (aftertaste, dissolving, and packaging).  However this one really didn't taste too bad though it has a really tangy taste that I just don't think I would want to drink this all the time.  I took a picture of the Strawberry-Kiwi before I drank it, as you can see particles of vitamins are visible in the drink.  Its like they created a chewable vitamin and crushed it.

The Immune+Citrus though was with out a doubt the most awful thing I've drank all year.  While still having the same three problems as the previous  (aftertaste, dissolving, and packaging), it has the most awful taste.  This one for me was a one sipper, as it totally made me gag.  The taste on this one reminded me of the mag citrate that they use to have people chug when you were having a colonoscopy.  I just can't even stomach anything that reminds me of that crap after having drank a whole bottle of it once.  Its not a pleasant taste, and I don't know how anyone can drink this.  I would not recommend this one to anyone.
