Analysis

AN American Nutriceuticals Vitality C provides a substantial 4000mg dose of L-Ascorbate C, a buffered form of Vitamin C that is gentler on the stomach. However, its distinguishing feature and major drawback is the inclusion of GMS-Ribose and its exceptionally high price per serving. GMS-Ribose is a unique compound often associated with cellular energy and recovery, making this product more specialized than a typical Vitamin C supplement. For general health and immune support, the high cost is not justified by the added ingredient, as simpler, much more affordable buffered Vitamin C options deliver similar core benefits. Online reviews are limited, reflecting its niche and high price point.

Pros
  • Delivers a very high dose of buffered L-Ascorbate C, which is gentle on the stomach.
  • Includes GMS-Ribose, potentially offering additional benefits for cellular energy and recovery.
  • Powder form allows for flexible dosing and easy mixing.
Cons
  • Exorbitant price per serving makes it impractical for regular use for most consumers.
  • The added GMS-Ribose significantly increases cost without providing a proportional increase in general Vitamin C benefits.
  • Low review count suggests limited market adoption.
Warnings
  • The very high dose of 4000mg Vitamin C might not be necessary for daily maintenance and could cause bowel intolerance in some individuals.

Categories
Vitamin C 30.0
As a Vitamin C product, its extremely high price per serving and specialized, expensive ingredients make it a poor general choice for the Vitamin C category.
Goals
Immunity 40.0
Provides a high dose of buffered Vitamin C, beneficial for immunity, but its extreme cost makes it an impractical choice for this goal compared to alternatives.
Skin Health 35.0
High-dose buffered Vitamin C supports skin health, but the prohibitive price overshadows any unique benefits for skin from this specific product.
Anti-Aging 35.0
The strong antioxidant capacity of a high buffered Vitamin C dose contributes to anti-aging, but the cost-benefit ratio is extremely low when compared to other effective options.
