• Vitamins are absorbed better in gummy format.
• Easier on the stomach.

The bottom line. Immunity support products like Emergen-C typically contain several different vitamins and minerals. Although they're intended to help boost your immune system, there's not a lot of evidence that they're effective at preventing illness.

Emergen-C recommends one packet, one chew, or three gummies daily. Some studies have also suggested that vitamin C can interact with certain medicines, including statins and chemotherapy drugs. 7 And it likely won't protect you if you're coming down with a more severe illness, like influenza.

Overall we consider Emergen-C potentially effective for preventing and reducing the duration of illness due to the effective dose of vitamin C, but we consider the product unhealthy overall due to the inclusion of a number of questionable additive ingredients.

But that doesn't mean you should start popping vitamin C gummies on the daily - it is possible to get too much of a good thing. Your kidneys are pretty good at removing any excess but taking too much can cause digestive problems like diarrhea (Padayatty, 2016).
