Emergen-c

I don't know if you guys use this stuff (I do and I love it) -- it works like coffee, except no caffeine and tons of vitamins and minerals (its actually pretty incredible for hangover as well )

Here is their response:

Thank you for your interest in Emer'gen-C.

In testing, we found that Raspberry and Mixed Berry Emer'gen-C may

contain wheat (some processes and extracts utilize wheat proteins),

however, ALL of the others are free from wheat, barley, and rye (and gluten).

Sincerely,

Mango,

I like the Lemon-Lime, the Tangerine and the Orange.

Its so convienent to put the packet in your bottled water and "go"... Plus, is sorta tasted like Crystal Light (but with vitamins and minerals)

Oh shoot, I think I just threw out a bunch of these...didn't even think to look at the engredients, lol. I just assumed they weren't okay for some reason.

just the word maltodextrin freaked me out, but it had tapioca in front of it so I just downed 2 tangerine packets.

I love Emergen-C! I work with children and I drink that stuff everyday during the winter so I won't get sick. I'm glad to hear the orange flavor is gluten free. That's my favorite.

And without all the nasty artifical sweeteners!

Argh! Thanks so much for sharing that. I never would have thought there would be gluten in Emergen-C. Good thing I like the orange.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
