Manufacturer’s Description
This Nature Made product provides vitamin C, a versatile and essential vitamin critical for the proper functioning of our immune system. In addition, vitamin C helps manufacture certain nerve-transmitting substances and hormones while helping absorb and utilize other nutrients, such as vitamin E and iron. Vitamin C also makes collagen, which holds connective tissues together in skin, bone, teeth, and other parts of the body.

Vitamin C is an important and powerful antioxidant that works in the aqueous (water) environments of the body, such as the lungs and lens of the eye. Its primary antioxidant partners are vitamin E and the carotenes (such as beta-carotene), but it also works with the antioxidant enzymes. Vitamin C regenerates oxidized vitamin E and restores the antioxidant potential of vitamin E in the body.

Vitamin C is recommended as part of a daily regimen for women's and men's health, longevity, heart strength, and immunity.

Customer Reviews

Vitamin C
Since I cannot have citrus now, I needed a source of vitamin c and am quite satisfied with this brand. I have used it for a couple of years and whether or not it can be attributed to this vitamin, I only get one cold each year and even work with the public in retail. I will buy it again and continue to use it.

Please...
All of the rants about this product getting their C from China... so do 80 to 90% of vitamin companies. The rest are NOT affordable! When the vitamin is proven to be good quality and is affordable while the rest are so incredibly (horrifically) over priced the choice should not be made to neglect your health over location.

And for those who claim stupidly that bad things come from China... so do a LOT of good things millions in the U.S. use every day. Just because something comes from the U.S. does NOT mean it can be trusted. Drug companies from the U.S. get sued as well for making bad things. My grandma died due to a mistake from a U.S. drug company.

My point is if Vitamins Americans take should only come from the U.S. then these supposed "dream" companies should make them more affordable for us. Especially in the terrible economic times we are in.

Good vitamins are about health not jobs. Until the other vitamin companies start making things affordable the people of this country will have to buy our better health from anywhere we can. Please stop trying to scare people into bad health. This is about the quality of a vitamin, not political or job rants.

Good stuff
It's vitamin C, 1000 mg, just as advertised. The pill is a bit large due to the amount contained and may be hard to swallow whole, but you can crush, chew or split it without damaging the vitamin contained.

Now, since vitamin C is an acid, it may cause heartburn when taking this much at one time. That's not particular to this brand.

I also tried the Spring Valley natural C 1000mg, and it's so concentrated that it leaves a burn on your tongue or in your stomach (depending if you chew or swallow it), for hours or even days. Not this one - it does taste sour, but leaves no burns. Yay.

Other than that, the container has an easy-open lid which snaps when closed. Nice touch.

About the country of origin - this is vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. It's not meat or other perishable and doesn't require a lot of processing. I believe even Chinese farmers would have a pretty good chance of getting this one right...
