Question 1

Do they make a version of this without any sugars(natural or artificial) at all?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately there is no version as of yet that is without sugar. There is a Lite version that has less than 1 g of sugars. This product is called Emergen C MSM Lite. I hope this helps. -Firehousefitnessnutrition.com

Question 2

Is there one free of artificial ingredients (in particular, artificial sweeteners)? I don't really care of it tastes good or not.

Accepted Answer

Well, I analyzed the ingredients in both the Orange and Tangerine flavors.  The good news is that neither flavor includes an artificial sweetener.  As Jimmy Reese posted, they do include Aspartic Acid, but that is not Aspartame, nor is it a sweetener.  It is merely a natural amino acid.

If you want more information, here are the details:
Most of the ingredients are the same, but in different quantities and thus listed in a different order.  One uses Maltodextrin and no common sugar (sucrose), while the other uses primarily sugar / sucrose and a small amount of Maltodextrin.  None of the ingredients in either flavor are technically artificial.  Aside from the natural ingredients used to differentiate their flavors, and not counting all the vitamins & minerals you're buying these to consume, their ingredients are:

Fructose, Maltodextrin andor Sugar, Citric Acid, Beta-Carotene, Glycine, L-Aspartic Acid, Malic Acid, Natural Flavors, Silicon Dioxide, Tartaric Acid, and Tocopherols.

While some of those can effectively be counted as artificial without any argument from me (safe to say we're not intentionally adding Silicon Dioxide or Tocopherols to our food when we make it at home), none of the suspect ingredients are artificial sweeteners.

Question 3

This has fructose in it?!?! how is that healthy? do they make an organic-non fructose or preservative powder mix?

Accepted Answer

Fructose is the sugar in fruit. It is not the "high fructose syrup".  When you eat fruit, it is fructose which occurs naturally to make fruit sweet.

Question 4

Is this two boxes of 30?

Accepted Answer

I received one large, clear plastic box of 60.  Good box to store them in.
