I have been taking one packet of off brand emergen-c, experimenting with cycling for awhile now. It seems to be one of the common denominators for my symptom relief. I actually stumbled upon it serendipitously when I was sick and noticed improvements in symptoms when taking it. The three components that are 100% + of daily value is obviously Vitamin C, (1000% DV, B6, (500% DV as well as B12, (500% DV.) I have noticed an improvement in well being as well as some other enhancements. I know there are hormonal benefits to all three of these and it's probably no secret here but I wanted to share as Its one of the few things that I seemed to benefit from consistently and I also like the fact that it is an extremely low risk supplement.

Yes,. I actually gave emergin -C to couple of people since they did not have access to electrolytes supplements. Emergen C is a good supplement it has all electrolytes and B vitamins , very close to the electrolytes protocol.

I gave some people 4-5 packets at a time.

that's very encouraging. I figured there was a logical reason behind the way it made me felt - it works too consistently to not mention it.

Body Armor drinks makes my hair thicker. I think it’s from the folate and B12. I have low iron and potassium on hair test.

Try increasing the amounts of packets you use, see if it helps more
I always got a Euphoric effect from buying Two "standard" Emergen-C packets from 7-11 on the way back from a Jog, then putting it in a 99 cent Arizona with Ginseng can. Something about Ginseng + high-dose Vitamin C feels like a light Cocaine, for me. It GREATLY amplifies the Endorphin-Rush of a Run/Jog!!!

Why does tea and iced tea go through me so quickly? Even if I only drink a portion of the can it feels like my bladder is in pain in 10 minutes and I have to urinate immedately. Water, soda, decaf coffee doesn't do this.

Probably the mild diuretic effects of Tea. Maybe the flavonoids/Catechins?

People should give Emergen-C a shot for PFS/PA/PSSD, stuff is cheap and easy available (CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart etc.). It's like a ghetto electrolytes protcol.

Oh and actually I at least know vitamin C + any stimulant eliminates a lot of the negative effects (i.e. crash, anxiety etc.) I noticed this personally when I tried high dose caffeine and vitamin C a while ago. Maybe from vitamin C preventing the cortisol spike?
