What is worth knowing.

Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 21 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 076314302031.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 076314302031 to "Super Orange Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix with Natural Flavors" (Emergen-C) — consistent with this listing.

CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

We can see 64 of this product’s 2,616 reviews — the count rose between March 3 and August 28, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 2,552 to 2,616 between March 3 and August 28, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 16, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.

Background reading

What the research says about these amounts

Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.

The panel lists 53 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits below that range.

0studied 200 mg–420 mg

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.

The panel lists 1 g of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits above that range.

0studied 8 mg–40 mg

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
