What is Vitamin C effervescent tablet?
A Vitamin C effervescent tablet is a supplement designed to dissolve in water, forming a fizzy drink rather than something to chew or eat as-is. The exact ingredients and flavour vary by product, so check the pack for directions and any added sweeteners or flavourings.
It is commonly taken as a convenient drink at home or while travelling; many versions have a light, citrus-like taste, though this is not universal. Nutritionally, it is a vitamin supplement, not a meal or a substitute for fruit and vegetables. Let the tablet dissolve fully in a glass of water and follow the serving directions on the label. Plain water is all you need to prepare it.
