Immune Defense Formula Ruby Lemon Honey
Emergen-C
Overview
The Emergen-C Immune Defense Formula provides clinically relevant doses of key immune-supporting ingredients such as Vitamin C and Zinc. While many of the B vitamins and minerals are present at or above recommended daily allowances, the effectiveness of the botanical extracts like Hibiscus and Elderberry, while promising, may require higher doses than provided for significant therapeutic effects. The comprehensive blend addresses various aspects of immune function, but individual ingredient benefits vary.
The Good
High dose of Vitamin C for robust immune support.
Provides 100% of the RDA for Zinc, a key immune mineral.
Comprehensive blend of B vitamins to support energy and metabolism.
The Bad
6 grams of sugar per serving is undesirable for daily use or for individuals managing blood sugar.
High doses of Vitamin C from multiple daily servings could cause gastrointestinal upset.
Doses of Alpha Lipoic Acid and Quercetin are too low to offer significant benefits.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking immune support, those needing a vitamin boost, people looking for an electrolyte supplement
