Does anyone use emergen-c ?

Is it better then coffee or energy drinks? I usually only drink coffee water and tea, but was wondering if this is as healthy as it claims??

    I only take it when I feel the onset of a cold or if someone in my office is sick and it seems to help me fight off a potential bug.

    I wouldn't use it as a replacement for coffee though or take it more than a few days straight. Something about supercharging your body with vitamins for more than a few days straight just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, even if they're water soluble and flushed out.

    I use Emergen-c but only when I am not feeling well, then it makes me feel more energetic and less stuffy ect, I didn't know you could use it instead of coffee....I'm not a huge fan of the taste of Emergen-C though, so I'll be sticking to my morning coffee :o)

    I don't know anything about emergen-c, but I've always heard you can't take too much vitamin c since it's water soluable and excess easily flushed out.
