Product Description
Give your health and energy a brazilian boost. Acai is a dark purple berry from deep in the jungles of Brazil. Natives there have long prized its health and energy boosting properties. Sound familiar? if the whole native thing isn't enough for you to go on, studies suggest the acai berry packs a mean antioxidant punch ( 10x the antioxidant power of red grapes). Delivering a potent 1000 mg of vitamin c, 32 active mineral complexes and a bunch of energy-boosting b vitamins. Emergen-C acai berry comes in a handy, mixable powder which, wouldnt you know it, tastes mighty good.

 Smells like cat urine. Taste: debatable. June 10, 2010
Joseph Taylor (Alexandria, VA United States)
I drink my Emergen-C packets fairly concentrated (i.e. 6 ounces of water, maybe more), and like other reviewers here, the Acai smell is rancid. Thus, the taste was also disgusting to me. Try a packet first (my coworker gave me a few packets), then if you really want 36 more, then buy it. After trying some others, I'll stick with Orange or Tangerine.
Same great benefits of Emergen-C but funky smell April 7, 2010
M. hallman (South Carolina)
I rave 5 stars on Emergen-C. I bought the Acai Berry and well, the smell is a bit funky. I can get thru this box but won't buy this flavor again. Haven't had a cold or flu or anything in a long time.
Don't give up on the Emergen-C brand. It's a great way to get all these nutrients and the added bonus of much needed water. Just don't get the Acai flavored berry.
 Works-- but smells foul February 8, 2010
S. Meineke (Hampton Roads, VA)

This product has the same effect true to the Emergen-C product line, and tastes fine but smells quite unpleasant. I normally prepare my Emergen-C packets with hot water vice cold because I'm not huge on the fizzy effect which goes away using hot water, and when I'm feeling like I'm about to get a cold or get sick, the warmth of the drink is soothing. When I first prepared this drink, my family INSTANTLY began searching around the house because they were convinced that my cat had urinated somewhere in the room... I thought it might have been a possibility, too, until I took some in to my office. Again, my co-workers expressed that it smelled foul, like an animal had urinated somewhere on the floor. Eventually, they walked over to my cube and after sniffing at my coffee mug with Acai Berry flavored Emergen-C in it, found the culprit. Maybe it only smelled like this because I make it with hot water, but I won't be bringing this flavor to work any time soon... Bottom line: It works, it tastes fine, it just doesn't smell great.
Meh February 7, 2010
T. Maxwell (SPARKS, NV, US)
This product was 8.00 at walmart, I saw on websites and on the news that Acai Berry diet was the greatest thing! I don't need the diet part so I don't use to it's full dosage, I use this for energy to help me be more productive and less exhausted. I was super excited to try it and it said on the container had a great taste! Yea okay who are they fooling??? This stuff tasted DISGUSTING! It smelt like a shirt sat in the rain so long it molded! After it mixed with the water it wasn't AS bad. It did stink up my house though! I have so far used this product for 3 days now and I can honestly say it's a great product! Besides the rechid smell and taste, and it does taste better than it smells. I have been crazy productive! And did not feel as if I were going to pass out in the middle of trying to get something done.
FYI:
If you add a low calorie sweetener to it like sweet n low it takes away the bitter and stomach souring.
 Makes a nice supplement drink January 23, 2010
Vyvyan Dunlap (Middlebury, IN USA)
We've been mixing this with cold water and our calcium powder to use as a supplement drink. We like to use it especially during the winter months for added support. At this point,I guess my only negative comments would be the cost...I find it a bit pricey in comparison to other forms of nutritional supplementation and the fact that the acai is only 'flavoring' not the actual berry essence.

Vitamin Supplements
There are a number of essential vitamins
that the body needs to function properly and it is possible to take
these in the form for vitamin supplement. The majority of people do not
have a balanced diet and they may be lacking in certain vitamins which
means that they require a vitamin supplement to ensure that they do not
have a deficiency of an essential vitamin. A health professional or
dietary technician is the best person to give advice on any vitamin
supplement that a person should take. It is important to seek
professional advice before taking any vitamin supplement. This is
because there are some vitamins that can be toxic if too much is
consumed and a vitamin supplement may not be appropriate if there is
enough of the vitamin already in the food a person eats.
Some categories of people may require more types of vitamin supplement
than others. Vegetarians are often deficient in certain vitamins that
are only found in animal products, for example, and a vitamin supplement
is the ideal solution to this problem. Vegetarians do need to be aware
that some vitamin supplement manufacturing processes involve animal
products and it is important for them to read the labels. A large number
of synthetic vitamin supplement products are available which will enable
a vegetarian to take them without contravening their dietary beliefs or
needs.

Children will often need a vitamin supplement, especially when they are
extremely young. This is because a lot of children do not eat a
sufficient variety of foods in their early years and a vitamin
supplement can help compensate for this natural deficiency. Breast
feeding has long been recommended as a source of all the essential
nutrients but women who choose not to or are unable to bottle feed may
be concerned as to whether their baby needs a vitamin supplement. The
large majority of baby milk formulas contain additional vitamins to
prevent the need for a vitamin supplement to be given. It is important
to discuss any concerns over the need for a baby or child to take a
vitamin supplement with a health professional to ensure that the correct
solution is found.
Elderly people or those suffering from certain diseases or illnesses are
other groups of people that may need to take a vitamin supplement. The
body may often need a vitamin
supplement to compensate for a person not
being able to consume the recommended daily allowance of certain
vitamins through their normal diet.
