Who owns Emergen C?
In 1978, Alacer Corp., based out of Southern California, introduced a simple Vitamin C plus minerals with B Vitamins dietary supplement drink mix, which was quickly embraced by people seeking a refreshing way to support a healthy immune system.
While Emergen-C vitamin drink mix was first taken primarily as a delicious way to support your immune system, Emergen-C has grown and expanded its family of products to support a variety of wellness needs. Emergen-C has always been committed to giving back.
In our early days, we supported nutrition research, as well as the Emergen-C Fund, which raised more than $1,000,000 for worthy causes. The company was acquired by Pfizer in 2012. In 2019, Pfizer consumer healthcare entered a joint venture with GSK. The brand is owned by Haleon since 18 July 2022.
