"I like to add this one to juice because I do not care for the little bite to the taste. Otherwise all of the powdered Emergen-C products are very convenient to carry to work and school, and they force me to drink more water because they need to be mixed in water (or juice) for use."

"This is my favorite vitamin C product, bar none. It's a bit sour without the sugar of the other Emergen-C products, but I prefer this one. I use the straight powdered vitamin C also because it's cheaper, but I always keep Emergen-C in my backpack, car, friend's houses, etc., for when I'm away from home."

"I do wish alacer would throw some stevia in. These taste weird. When I add stevia it helps a little, but the overall flavoring of these compared to other emergen-Cs seems blah and sort of off. I AM, however, glad for the lite alternative, since I try to avoid all sugar. I just wish they'd do it better."

"I have used Emer-gen-C for quite some time now and credit it for helping me avoid illness. I am a middle school teacher and am exposed to a whole lot! When I feel the least bit vulnerable, I prefer to use the Emer-gen-C without sugar, since bacteria grow better in a sugary internal environment. It may not taste as good as the regular kind, but it may be more effective."

"I really enjoy this product during the summer when sweating all day is unavoidable. I think its a great way to replace electrolytes and vitamins. The flavor is a bit weak, much like a twist of lemon & lime. If you want more flavor, sugar and other addititives, have a Gatorade!"
