Despite its 'C 500 mg' product name, this chewable tablet from Natural Factors actually delivers a robust 1000mg of Vitamin C per serving, combining Sodium Ascorbate (buffered) and Ascorbic Acid. This blend helps to mitigate the acidity often associated with pure ascorbic acid, making it gentler on the stomach while still providing a high potency dose. The fruit flavor and chewable form enhance convenience and palatability, especially for those who prefer alternatives to pills. While it contains a small amount of carbohydrates/calories, this is typical for flavored chewables.
