Analysis

Natural Factors C 500 mg Fruit-Flavor Chew is an appealing option for individuals who prefer not to swallow pills, offering a pleasant fruit flavor in a chewable format. The use of Sodium Ascorbate ensures that the Vitamin C is buffered, making it less acidic and gentler on sensitive stomachs, which is a significant advantage. At 13 cents per serving for a 500mg dose, it falls into a mid-range price point for chewables, though it's typically more expensive than standard tablets, reflecting the added cost of the chewable formulation and flavoring.

Pros
  • Chewable format is highly convenient and palatable, making it an excellent option for individuals who struggle with swallowing capsules or tablets.
  • Utilizes Sodium Ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C that is non-acidic and gentle on the stomach, reducing potential digestive discomfort.
Cons
  • The chewable form typically results in a higher price per serving compared to standard tablet forms, making it less economical for continuous daily use.
