Nutrient quality
Broad botanical inclusion of rose hips and citrus bioflavonoids enhances the primary 1,000 mg dose of Vitamin C. Liquid format provides ease of use, though unbuffered acid and carbohydrates are the main weaknesses.
Analysis
This liquid supplement provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C alongside a diverse blend of rose hips, bioflavonoids, and green tea extract. The liquid form is a good alternative for individuals who have trouble swallowing tablets or capsules. It has a natural lemon flavor that makes it easy to take daily.
One thing to note is the carbohydrate and calorie content, which comes from the sweeteners used for flavor. While the botanicals add a nice variety of antioxidants, vitamin C can be less stable in liquids over time. This product fits well for a family or those prioritizing ease of use.
