Solaray's Timed Release Vitamin C offers 500mg of ascorbic acid, enhanced with rose hips and acerola cherry, which are natural sources of bioflavonoids known to support Vitamin C absorption and provide additional antioxidant activity. The timed-release mechanism is a significant advantage, allowing for gradual absorption and sustained levels of Vitamin C in the bloodstream, which many nutritionists recommend for optimal benefit. At $0.09 per serving, it offers excellent value for a product with these enhanced features. The exceptionally high review count (9309) speaks to its popularity and user satisfaction. This product effectively addresses multiple health goals by optimizing Vitamin C delivery and incorporating synergistic plant compounds.
- Timed-release mechanism ensures sustained absorption and blood levels.
- Includes natural bioflavonoids (rose hips & acerola) for synergistic benefits and enhanced absorption.
- Excellent price per serving ($0.09) for a product with advanced features.
- Highly popular and well-reviewed product from a trusted brand.
- 500mg dose might necessitate multiple tablets for individuals seeking higher daily intake.
- Not explicitly a buffered mineral ascorbate, though timed-release can reduce immediate acidity.
