Was a good alternative to swallowing a pill. I was first introduced to this product in a store where they were handing out samples and I had decided to try one. The taste was very pleasant as well as the price. The best was that is was so easy to take each day as you didn't need to get water or another liquid to wash it down. A good source of Vitamin C. I would definitely recommend this product to working and non-working individuals. Vitamin C especially helps in the winter to keep colds and flu away and what better way but to use a "gummie" vitamin to help. To date my older kids now take them too. They are very convenient and simple to take. for once I don't have to remind everyone to take them. My daughter who was not happy with vitamins now can't wait to take them which makes one more part of my day much easier. This is such an excellent source especially when the seasons change and you can't go outside.

I really enjoyed getting to eat some gummies for my vitamin C rather than take a pill. I took these for a good 6 months. Now I can not find these gummies anywhere in my local grocery stores. I really liked that even though these are priced higher I could always find a good coupn to pair with them to make them a good price. The flavor of these is unconvential but I still really liked them rather than taking a pill. The gummy is a sweet tangy kind of sour concotion that I really grew to like. If you look around too these often go on sale for bogo so that is another way to get these at a great price. I think since they go on sale all the time that is why I have a difficult time finding them because they are always sold out.

When I had colds I took vitamin c or drank orange juice but never found relief. A friend of mine in Florida told me about ester c and now I keep it at home. The moment I feel like I'm getting sick, I take about 1000 units every 2-3 hours. Extra is throw out of the body. The result is that I don't actually fall sick. I have found that whenever I feel like I have a low immune system or feel under the weather, I take it for a few days and it instantly peps me up! The body absorbs ester c and metablolizes it better than vitamin c, and I feel a difference within a couple days. Ester c can be found in most drug stores and sometimes the larger bottles are on sale, or buying a couple at once gets you a better price.

I recently started taking Ester-C to help build my immunity during cold season. With little ones, it's really hard to have any time under the weather, so I was willing to try anything that might help. It does have a nice orange flavor, but it is a bit sour. Personally, I'd rather chew up a tablet quickly and rinse it down with water rather than having to drink a full 8 ounces of this stuff, but for those who don't like chewable tablets it's a good option. I can't swear by the effectiveness, but (so far) I have managed to stay healthy this cold season. The one thing that does concern me is side effects of taking such massive doses of vitamins - one packet contains 1710% of the daily value of vitamin C and 417% daily value of B-12. So I think I'll definitely use this in moderation.

I've been using Ester-C Immune Support 1000mg To-Go for a few months and I have no doubt that it has played a huge role in helping to keep me healthy during cold season (and I'm a teacher!). This might sound a little crazy, I know, but after the first packet I instantly felt a difference--which my husband suggested was likely because of the B vitamins which play a huge role in maintaining energy. The little packets are incredibly convenient and the powder dissolves easily in a glass of cold water. I usually drink it in the morning with my bowl of cereal or before I have my coffee. My only complaint is that even though the formula claims to be stomach-friendly, but I find that it does tend to make my stomach a little sore after a few days, so I've switched to only taking it six days out of the week instead of seven. That said, I haven't noticed a difference in my health so it must still be working. I highly recommend this product and don't plan on switching back to pill vitamins any time soon.

I went to the vitamin store to find Emu oil and I came home with that and also a bottle of Ester C,1000mg.I listened to the sales pitch and thought I can't go wrong with this.Well  I know Ester C is very good for you,but not in this dose.Especially for those of you who have hemorrhoids.I learned the hard way.So beware.I do recommend Vitamin C ,but not this high dosage for someone with hemorrhoids.

We use to take regular vitamin C and was recommended to switch to Ester C since your body absorbed it better.  I highly recommend this product to anyone, it is an amazing product.  Ester C can help you prevent colds, stay healty and feel great.  With this product you do not have to worry about weither you are getting the right amount of vitamin C in your system since your body absorbs it all and doesn't wast it.  It also comes in different flavors

I started taking the Ester-C vitamin C gummies a few weeks ago, and I have been very impressed. I work at a university and there has been something going around, but thus far I have been able to fend it off and I think that it has a lot to do with the fact that I have been taking these vitamin-c gummies. They give 24 hours of immune support (500 mg of vitamin c), but I take them twice a day so I have extra support. They taste ok - not as good as I had hoped, but they don't taste bad either, which I know was a possibility when taking gummies. Plus, they are kind of large and have a bizarre texture, but since its not something I swallow, its not a huge problem. Also, they kind of stick together so the bottle looks like one giant vitamin-c mush, but this has not been a problem either. I would recommend taking these vitamin-c gummies, especially if you are like me and you don't like the chalky taste of regular vitamin-c pills.

i opened a bottle of these and it popped like a champagne cork and smelled like chemicals...i just finished a bottle and had never had this happen before so i knew it was WEIRD...called to explain and thought they would replace it -- SAID THEY CHANGED the GELATIN and get 10 calls like mine EVERYDAY but swear the vitamins are safe.....chemical smell...i think melamine....and plastic....nothing i want in a vitamin.....the customer "service" rep was combative, insulting and useless -- I WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN and you should beware!

I bought these gummies with a skeptical disposition. I had received a free sample of these vitamins about a month before but had not purchased them. Then, as with most new or pricey products I try, there was a two for one sale at my grocery store. I purchased the bottles and brought them home. My kids flipped over them. They were so excited that I was asking them to eat a gummy. I tend to stray away from fruit snacks and things of that nature, but this seemed harmless enough. The cute orange shape makes it even more delightful to eat. The twenty-five calories are such a small price to pay for such a fun way to eat my vitamin C.
