Fizzy Energy And Nutrition (NAPSA)—This season, many people will toast their health with a refreshing drink that makes it easier to get enough vitamin C. The drink is not only fizzy and delicious but it may even be a moreefficient way to take vitamin C. Most people have taken vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid. You may bubble with enthusiasm about a fizzy drink that boosts the immune system and raises energy levels. However, researchers have found that vitamin C taken in a different form—mineralascorbates, provides all of the health benefits with none of the side effects, such as upset stomach, that can occur when tak- ing vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid.

Available in 15 fun flavors—the effervescent drink mix provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C, plus B vitamins, forming some 32 mineral complexes. And a special formula for children ages 10 and under is available in strawberry. The powder comesin singleserving packets that can be mixed with water. The product replenishes valuable electrolytes to prevent dehydration during exercise and strenuousactivity. Emer’genC can be foundin grocery, health food stores and drug stores nationwide.
