A stomach-friendly, buffered Vitamin C option at 500mg, ideal for sensitive individuals, but moderately priced.
Natrol Easy-C delivers 500mg of Vitamin C using Calcium Ascorbate, a highly bioavailable and non-acidic form that is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive digestive systems or those who experience stomach upset with regular Ascorbic Acid. Nutritionists often recommend buffered forms for improved tolerance. The 500mg dosage is a solid daily amount for maintaining general health and immune function. However, with a price per serving of $11, it falls into a mid-to-high range when compared to the vast array of Vitamin C supplements available. While it offers the advantage of being gentle, its cost-effectiveness isn't as competitive as some higher-dose or standard ascorbic acid alternatives, and its lower review count suggests it's not as widely popular.
- Contains Calcium Ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C that is gentle on the stomach and non-acidic.
- 500mg dose is a good daily maintenance level for general health and foundational support.
- Moderate price per serving ($11) is higher than many standard ascorbic acid options.
- 500mg dose may be considered lower for acute immune support or specific therapeutic needs compared to 1000mg options.
- Lower review count compared to highly popular alternatives, suggesting less widespread adoption.

Categories
Vitamin C 78.0
This Vitamin C product is a commendable choice, particularly for those sensitive to acidity, due to its buffered form. However, its slightly higher price per serving compared to other forms means it's a good, but not necessarily the best value option in the Vitamin C category.
Goals
General Health 80.0
The buffered 500mg dose is excellent for daily general health support, providing necessary antioxidant benefits and supporting various bodily functions without causing stomach discomfort.
Immunity 75.0
500mg is a good daily dose for supporting ongoing immune health. For more intensive immune boosting, some individuals might opt for higher doses, but this is a solid foundational choice.
Skin Health 75.0
Vitamin C is vital for collagen production; 500mg contributes effectively to skin health, though higher doses are sometimes used for more targeted skin concerns. The buffered form is well-tolerated for long-term use.
