Lemon Lime (Pauling Labs) provides a robust 1000mg of Vitamin C, a dosage widely recognized by nutritionists and backed by online reviews for its strong immune-boosting and antioxidant properties, making it effective for general health, skin health, and anti-aging. The inclusion of Vitamin E and A further supports skin and vision, respectively, contributing to the anti-aging and overall health claims. While it shares the same ingredient profile as other Ener-C products, its significantly lower price per serving ($3.98 vs $4.89 for other Ener-C variants) makes it a more attractive option from a value perspective. However, the amounts of Folate (40mcg) and Phosphorus (38mg) are still considerably low when compared to daily recommended intake or the ambitious list of benefits, suggesting they might not offer significant direct impact for those specific goals (e.g., bone health or extensive brain/mood support). The blend of electrolytes like Potassium, alongside Iodine for metabolism, adds to its general wellness appeal and slight energy/fitness support. Reviews often praise its taste and convenience as a drink mix.
- High dose of Vitamin C (1000mg) which is excellent for immunity and skin health.
- Contains a wide array of essential vitamins (A, E) and minerals (Potassium, Iodine, Phosphorus).
- Effervescent form allows for quick absorption and pleasant consumption.
- Significantly lower price per serving ($3.98) than similar Ener-C products, offering better value.
- Positive online reviews regarding taste and ease of use.
- Folate and Phosphorus quantities are very low, potentially not providing significant benefits for goals like bone health or extensive brain/mood support.
- Despite improved value, the price per serving is still higher than many capsule-based alternatives offering similar or broader nutrient profiles.
- The broad list of goals may oversell the specific impact of some ingredients at their given dosages.
