how often can you take emergen c

Emergen-C can be taken once daily, with the general recommendation being one packet per day. The label advises not to exceed the suggested dosage to avoid potential harm from excess nutrients, such as vitamin C, which is present in high amounts in each packet (1000 mg, over 1000% of the daily value). If considering taking it for more than 6 months, it is best to consult a healthcare provider. Also, pay attention to other sources of vitamin C intake to avoid excessive consumption which could lead to side effects like gastrointestinal issues.
