Emergen-C MSM Formula Lite Citrus Fizzy Drink Mix
Hey ya’ll,
I’m back with a quick review of Emergen-C MSM Formula Lite Citrus Fizzy Drink Mix. I’ve been taking this for the past month in hopes of alleviating joint pain. Ā It was recommended by a YouTube commenter who said “I used to have knee problems but now I can run”. Ā That’s all I had to read so I ran right over to Trader Joes and picked up this box of 30 packets for $8.99.
Here’s what the product claims to do (source)
- Supports immunity and metobolic function
- Enhances your energy level
- Helps production of collagen and maintains the strength and flexibility of bones
- Maintain the elastisity and flexibility of the connective tissues that make up joints
I drank 1 packet in about 8oz of water per day for 30 days.
TASTE
It tastes like unsweetened lightly lemony water. No after taste at all.
WHAT I HOPED TO GET
Improved joint function and mobility + reduced pain, stiffness and/or tenderness in my knees.
WHAT I GOT
Improved joint function and mobility + reduced pain, stiffness and/or tenderness in my knees. No noticeable increase in energy level.
I cannot believe this stuff is helping but it SO IS! Ā WOW! Ā I have a noticeable decrease in knee discomfort and soreness. I can move up and down the stairs much better now and notice NO soreness after walking in low heels for a couple hours or jumping around (don’t ask, ya’ll know I’m giddy). I can also walk around barefoot for longer than usual. Ā To make sure this was a fare test I haven’t done the majority my physical therapy exercises for a month (don’t tell my physical therapist LOL).
WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
YES YES YES! Ā I’m going to keep this as part of my daily routine. I amĀ ecstaticĀ and shocked at the same time. Who knew?
As always, I hope this helps someone. I may do another 30 day trial of yet another product for joint health so stay tuned for that review soon (if I decide to give up my MSM for a month).
Have you tried Emergen-C MSM Formula or any MSMĀ supplement? If so, have you had results and how long have you been taking it? Do tell.

I love, love, love Emergen-C. Anytime I feel like I am getting sick I start hitting them hard and within a day or two I am symptom free. I feel like I need an endorsement deal from them because anytime anyone complains about sinus/allergy/crappy symptoms I recommend their products. I haven’t tried the MSM formula but sounds interesting.

I’ve never used the regular Emergen-C for colds (although this MSM pack has Vitamin C). I’m a Zicam person for cold prevention.

I must try this ASAP…thanks for sharing. My knees have been killing me lately, I have quit running/jogging because of the pain but I would love to start back.
glamazini
Awesome, come back if you try it & let me know if you notice a difference.

Why I am about to hop in the car and head to Trader Joe’s to cop some?! Thanks for the review.
glamazini
Great! Let me know if it works for you.

I like Emergen-C but find that I always take it too late. I might need to take it every day. That’s a good idea.

How are you taking the MSM? Once or twice a day? I have been researching this and was debating trying it. I may have to after reading your review.
glamazini
Once a day in 8oz of water. My legs feel amazing.

I have a decrepit shoulder, almost immobilized from an old injury, and have been in pain for over a year. Physiotherapy helped somewhat, but not enough. Tried other supplements, with no apparent improvement. A month ago I bought a box of Emergen-C MSM Lite and have taken one packet a day, faithfully. What a difference! Greater range of motion, and so much less pain that the arm feels almost normal. I’ll be going back to Trader Joe’s tomorrow for another supply, before I run out. TJ’s has the best price I have found.

That is awesome! I stopped taking mine because of the pregnancy, but will restart when it’s possible.

Whoa! I want this now. I think I’m hooked. dang!
