AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality32

Quality remains uncertain for the vitamin C and citrus preparations. The forms of rutin, hesperidin and pectin are also unspecified.

Ingredient Transparency62

All ingredient amounts are disclosed, but only the vitamin C sources and lemon are named in more detail. The vitamin C source proportions and the preparations of the other ingredients are missing.

Value For Money61

The vitamin C offers reasonable value for the serving cost. Value for the accompanying plant compounds remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction91

Customer ratings are very favorable. The review count provides an extensive base of feedback, without confirming health benefits.

Product Focus72

The formula centers on vitamin C for normal immune and antioxidant functions and collagen formation. Added plant compounds do not establish a greater benefit than meeting vitamin C needs.
