Going to Try Emergen-C for Energy, Appetite, Immunity

So, I’ve been interested in trying out this Emergen-C stuff for a while, it’s just one of those things I haven’t quite gotten around to buying yet, with all the other things going on right now. 

It’s a little packet of powder that you mix in with a glass of water that is supposed to be a good mixture of vitamin C (1,000 mg to be precise, which is several times what you need per day, but that’s ok because Vitamin C is a vitamin that is flushed out of your system on a daily basis, so it never builds up to toxic levels in your body anyways), and also has chromium picolinate, which actually helps regulate your blood sugar and also may help control your appetite as well.

It also contains calcium manganese and magnesium, all of which are important minerals which women in particular can benefit from. I became really interested when I read that a lot of people think this little bag of powder daily helps them to keep from getting colds and the flu, and they rarely feel run down, which can be very common in the winter time. 

Also, many people think that it helps their energy levels due to the B vitamins it contains. To be honest, I rely a lot on boosts from a product called 5 Hour Energy right now during the day at work, so something that wasn’t actually caffeinated  would be good, so that I didn’t have to drink caffeinated products to get my energy, especially since I tend to break out from it. 

Vitamin C is great to take in combination with calcium too, because it actually helps your calcium to absorb and be absorbed much better than it would be alone as well. So, if you’re a woman, or a man, you may want to consider taking it for energy boost, possible reduction in appetite, which would probably be mild, and also boost your immunity. I’m buying some tonight at Target and I’ll let you know how it works and how I like it a few days after I start taking it – hopefully it’s good stuff!
