This powder product from HealthForce SuperFoods is marketed as 'Truly Natural Vitamin C,' implying its derivation from whole food sources rather than synthetic ascorbic acid. It provides 360mg of Vitamin C per serving, along with 5g of carbohydrates and 25 calories, typical of a fruit-derived product. While whole-food Vitamin C is highly valued by many nutritionists for its synergistic co-factors and presumed enhanced bioavailability, the specific plant sources are not explicitly listed in the ingredients, which is unusual for a product emphasizing 'natural.' The very high price per serving makes it a premium product, but the lack of transparency on the exact natural source is a significant concern for consumers seeking true natural purity.
- Likely whole-food derived, potentially offering higher bioavailability and synergistic benefits from natural co-factors.
- Suitable for consumers who prefer 'natural' supplements over synthetic forms.
- Very high price per serving, making it significantly less cost-effective than synthetic or blended forms.
- The specific natural sources of Vitamin C are not explicitly listed in the ingredients, which is inconsistent with a 'truly natural' claim.
- Lower pure Vitamin C content compared to many synthetic alternatives at similar or lower prices.
- High price point for the amount of Vitamin C provided.
- Vague ingredient description regarding the specific natural sources of Vitamin C.

Categories
Vitamin C 75.0
While it appeals to the 'natural' market, its high cost and lack of detailed source information make it a less competitive option for pure Vitamin C potency compared to other forms.
