This 21st Century Chewable C offers a moderate 500mg dose of Ascorbic Acid in a convenient, affordable chewable format, suitable for those who dislike swallowing pills and are budget-conscious.
This 21st Century Chewable C provides 500mg of Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid, a common and effective form. Its chewable orange-flavored tablet is convenient for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills, and the dosage is sufficient for daily general health and immunity support. However, chewable tablets, especially citrus-flavored ones, can contribute to dental enamel erosion over time, and they often contain artificial flavors or sweeteners (though not specified in ingredients, it's a common characteristic of flavored chewables). The 55mg of sodium is negligible for most users. The product's extremely low price per serving (approximately $0.057, calculated from price/servings) makes it an attractive and budget-friendly option.
- Convenient chewable form, suitable for those with pill-swallowing difficulties.
- Moderate and effective 500mg dosage for daily support.
- Exceptionally low cost per serving, making it highly affordable.
- High review count indicates widespread popularity and user satisfaction.
- Ascorbic acid can be acidic for sensitive stomachs, potentially causing mild digestive discomfort.
- Chewable form may contribute to dental enamel erosion over prolonged use due to its acidity and presence of flavorings.
- Likely contains artificial flavors or sweeteners, which some consumers prefer to avoid.
