A high-quality, 'raw' food-derived Vitamin C (500mg) from a fermented source, offering superior bioavailability and natural co-factors, making it an excellent choice for comprehensive health support.
Quantity: 120
This product stands out due to its 'raw' and food-derived Vitamin C, sourced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This fermented form is believed to be more bioavailable and gentler on the stomach, often containing natural bioflavonoids and other co-factors that synergistically enhance Vitamin C's benefits. The 500mg dosage is effective for daily supplementation to support various health goals. Online reviews frequently highlight its effectiveness, digestibility, and the brand's commitment to quality ingredients, making it a premium choice in the Vitamin C market. While its price per serving is higher than basic ascorbic acid, it's justified by the superior form and 'whole-food' integrity.
- Sourced from fermented whole-food (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for enhanced bioavailability
- Contains natural co-factors and bioflavonoids for synergistic benefits
- Gentle on the stomach due to its food-derived form
- 500mg is an effective daily dosage
- Higher price point compared to basic synthetic ascorbic acid products
- The 'raw' processing might not appeal to everyone seeking a standardized, isolated compound
