Specifications

Performance notes

This tablet form supplement uses a buffered version of vitamin C, meaning it is combined with minerals rather than sold as plain ascorbic acid, which the maker markets as gentler on the stomach. At 90 tablets and one serving a day, a bottle covers about three months. The gluten free, non-GMO label positions it for buyers who are selective about supplement sourcing and formulation.

What buyers say

A 4.7 rating from just over 800 reviews is solid, though the sample is smaller than some of the larger mass market vitamin C brands. That smaller base is typical for a practitioner oriented brand sold at a higher price point, and the consistency of the rating is a reasonably good sign.
