Analysis

This is an exceptional Vitamin C supplement, identical in formulation to Garden of Life's 30-serving version but offering superior value with 60 servings. The Vitamin C is sourced from fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a 'raw' whole-food source that is gentle on the stomach and thought to provide enhanced bioavailability due to naturally occurring bioflavonoids and co-factors. The 500mg dosage is clinically relevant for daily support across multiple health goals. Online reviews consistently praise this product for its quality, effectiveness, and the brand's commitment to clean, wholesome ingredients. It represents a premium choice that also delivers excellent long-term value.

Pros
  • Sourced from fermented whole-food (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for optimal bioavailability
  • Includes natural co-factors and bioflavonoids for synergistic effects
  • Gentle on the stomach, suitable for sensitive individuals
  • Excellent value with 60 servings per bottle, reducing cost per dose
  • 500mg is an effective daily dosage for a wide range of benefits
Cons
  • Higher upfront cost compared to smaller bottles or basic ascorbic acid options
