This Chewable Vitamin C by Nature Made is formulated to support a range of health goals, combining both ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate forms of Vitamin C. The inclusion of sodium ascorbate helps buffer the acidity, making it potentially gentler on the stomach for individuals sensitive to the acidic nature of pure ascorbic acid. Online reviews often praise the convenience and taste of chewable tablets, making it an appealing option for those who struggle with swallowing pills. Nutritionists generally recommend Vitamin C for its broad antioxidant properties and role in collagen synthesis, both of which are crucial for skin health and anti-aging.
- Convenient chewable form, suitable for those who dislike swallowing pills.
- Combination of Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate provides a buffered formula, potentially reducing stomach upset.
- Reputable brand (Nature Made) known for quality and consistency.
- Good dosage (500mg) for daily supplementation and general health support.
- Higher price per serving ($0.11) compared to many standard Vitamin C tablet alternatives ($0.03-$0.05).
- Contains 2g of carbohydrates and 10 calories per serving, which might not be ideal for strict dietary regimens.
- Includes 50mg of sodium per serving, which could be a minor consideration for individuals monitoring sodium intake.
- Individuals on sodium-restricted diets should be mindful of the 50mg of sodium per serving.
- Chewable forms may contain sugars or artificial sweeteners that some consumers prefer to avoid.
