Taste better and not bitter than the name brand
Bought these to up my vitamin c intakes. Especially during this time of covid and flu. Also bought the emergency-c one as well to compare as to which one works better or taste better. In this case the equate one is so much better! It taste so much better than the emergency one. To my surprise very shocking! And it is not as bitter as the emergency one. The emergency one makes taking it a pain as it's so bitter compare to this one. I actually enjoy taking these than the emergency one. I recommend this one!! Also for the price it's $2 less than the other one and it's taste better! I haven't took it for long to compare the effects yet. But I'll save my other review for that later since I can't go back and update my review on here.

Very dissatisfied
They did not have the EmergenC I normally purchase so I tried this brand. HORRIBLE. Packets were sticky and gross, product did not dissolve completely and tasted TERRIBLE. Bitter and chalky. No answer at 800 number to be refunded. I will never purchase this again.

    Not worth it
    I compared this brand with the original Emergen-C and the ingredients are the exact same. However, the taste is awful. One of my packets were rock hard, so I opened it and it looks like someone poured water into it and then sealed it back up. Yes this brand is cheaper, but I'll go back to Emergen-C.

    Horrible! Dramatically changed product. Do not buy
    Terrible! Product totally changed from a year or so ago. Was a 4 product. Not now. New packaging looks great but no longer an “equivalent” to Emergen C. Used to be a very good product but now I'm not sure who's doing the manufacturing! Flavor completely different (nasty like sweet weak orange Koolaid) no effervescence, not palatable and not even real orange color as before. Writing this review because returning the product will not fix the problem. It will just get thrown into a damaged goods bin and the problem ignored instead of going to quality control and product assessment. Can't believe they're passing this off as the same product. I'm sure I'll get the same “because of COVID…..” Similar issues recently with other products as well. Stay away from this one or you'll be disappointed too!! (Link to “review terms and guidelines “ not working online mobile app and could not read. Had to agree to them in order to submit complaint. Did so for concern that there is a problem with a product consumed by the public. Current drink not even close to previous product. V)

    Compares to EmergenC
    Compares very well to EmergenC! I keep it on hand to use at the first sign of the sniffles. Whenever the kids feel like they're coming down with something, we use it. Since it tastes ok, they are quite willing.

    Waste of money
    I bought Equate C packets because they were better priced than Emergen-C. WHAT A BAD DECISION! *The packet cannot be torn open; must use scissors. (Bad for my travels) *The taste is awful. Weak orange flavor that is also bitter. *Doesn't dissolve completely. Even after stirring and waiting there was about 3/16 tsp (for those who can't do the math-just less than 1/4) of white powder in the bottom of the glass that never dissolved. The photo is from the bottom of the Walmart tumbler that I mixed the packet in, drank it, and refilled with a light pink drink. The white stuff at the bottom is the stuff that never dissolved. What the heck is that and why would I want undissolvable junk in my stomach? Cr@ppy quality, Walmart. Thanks.

    Health in a packet
    There are four of us in the household and every other night I take a liter of tonic water with quinine, pour some in the bottom of an 8-ounce glass, add a packet of the powder, slowly fill the glass up, pass it to my family, and we easily get our Vitamin C the easy way. It's not gritty or bad tasting and it's a healthy way to get our protection.

    Just ok
    Look carefully at the box. Doesn't say it has all the ingredients of Emergen C, just the same amount of Vit C. Flavor is ok. Several other products on the market that are just as good or better for the same price...or spend a couple dollars more and get the real Emergen C

    Effective but don't care for the taste.
    Normally our family buys the name brand version of this but with the current pandemic it's been very hard to find around the house so I purchased a couple boxes of these for the family. You really can't beat the cost. While I feel like ingredients and benefit wise they do the job, I just really don't care for the taste. It's much more medicinal tasting and it doesn't fully dissolve. Would I buy it again? Yes. My daughter wishes that equate made a raspberry flavor.
