Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) does not treat a cold or reliably prevent one. Taking vitamin C regularly may slightly shorten a cold for some people, but starting it after symptoms appear is not a proven way to make the illness go away faster.
Dissolve Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) completely in water and drink it; do not chew or swallow the tablet whole. Follow the pack directions for the amount of water and the recommended use.
Yes, Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) can be taken daily as directed, but many people do not need a supplement if their diet already supplies enough vitamin C. Count other supplements too, so you do not unintentionally take multiple high-dose products.
Yes, Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) can be taken on an empty stomach, but it may cause nausea or heartburn in some people. If that happens, take it after food instead.
Many Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) formulations contain sodium because they use sodium bicarbonate to fizz, but the amount varies by product. If you need to limit sodium, check the nutrition or ingredient information on the specific pack.
There is no required time of day for Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg). Take it at a time you can remember; if it upsets your stomach, have it after a meal rather than before one.
High-dose vitamin C may increase urinary oxalate in some people, which can raise kidney-stone risk. If you have had kidney stones or have kidney disease, ask your doctor before using Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg).
Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) is a high-dose product and should not be given to children without guidance. Children need age-appropriate amounts, so use a product and dose intended for the child rather than an adult tablet.
Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) can affect some medicines and laboratory tests; high-dose vitamin C is a particular concern during some cancer treatments and for people with iron-overload disorders. If you take regular medication, ask a pharmacist or doctor about your specific combination.

GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.
Vitamin C Effervescent (1000 mg) is a supplement tablet designed to dissolve and fizz in water, so it is taken as a drink rather than eaten. Its main purpose is to provide vitamin C; flavourings and other ingredients can vary by product. It is commonly mixed into a glass of water and sipped, with the taste and sweetness depending on the brand. It is not a meaningful source of protein or fat; the table lists 10 kcal and 2.5 g of carbohydrate per 100 g. For a convenient way to take it alongside your usual meals, follow the pack directions and let the tablet dissolve fully before drinking.
