Overview

This effervescent supplement provides a robust dose of Ester-C Vitamin C, known for superior absorption and retention, alongside various B vitamins and electrolytes. While the Vitamin C dose is effective for immune support, the B vitamin doses vary, with some being sufficiently dosed for general support and others at lower levels. The electrolyte profile is good for general rehydration but may not be adequate for intense exercise. The 'Proprietary Wellness Blend' is underdosed for ingredients like Glycine, Quercetin, and Alpha-Lipoic Acid, making their efficacy questionable in this product.

The Good

Excellent source of highly bioavailable Ester-C Vitamin C for immune health.

Good provision of essential B vitamins for energy metabolism, especially Vitamin B6 and B12.

Comprehensive blend of electrolytes for rehydration and nerve/muscle function.

The Bad

Proprietary Wellness Blend with underdosed active ingredients (Quercetin, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Glycine, L-Aspartic Acid), limiting their potential efficacy.

Contains 5g of added sugar (fructose and maltodextrin), which may be undesirable for some consumers.

Some B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Pantothenic Acid) are provided at relatively low doses, potentially insufficient for achieving their full therapeutic benefits.
