Carrot Tart Speaks

Berry good timing on my new package of Emergen-C from Smiley 360. I had just gotten back from a doctor's visit at Emory Atlanta and had been taking public transportation on a dark and drizzly cold day when my shiny package was awaiting me - full of goodness and a variety of Vitamin C choices. I was immediately drawn to the the Berry Medley Warmers with 1,000 mg of Vitamin C, 1,000 IU of Vitamin D, B Vitamins & Zinc. The Drink it Hot and Immune + statements on the label were well suited for someone like me who had been to a twenty story medical building on mass transit. I tore off my coat, tore open the package, prepared my treat and The Berry Medley Warmer tasted delicious and I felt a lot more cheerful, warm and energized. Not to be sneezed at are the flavored fizzy drink mixes like Super Orange, Raspberry and Strawberry- Kiwi to name a few flavors. These darling supplements contain electrolytes as well as B vitamins, Vitamin C and Proprietary Complex Antioxida...
