ANDREW LESSMAN Vitamin C 500 Complex 180 Capsules - Non-Acidic Vitamin C with Citrus Bioflavonoids

What makes this Vitamin C special?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. ANDREW LESSMAN Vitamin C 500 Complex offers a non-acidic formula that combines Vitamin C (as Calcium Ascorbate) with a natural Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex. This combination is designed to maximize absorption and minimize the stomach upset typical of Ascorbic Acid. Each small, easy-to-swallow capsule provides 500 mg of ultrafine microgranulated Vitamin C powder for rapid and complete absorption.

Benefits of Vitamin C

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative damage. Furthermore, it contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. It also increases iron absorption and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. This complex offers these benefits without the stomach upset associated with other forms of Vitamin C.

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage is one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Each 180-capsule bottle provides a six-month supply. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.

Types of Vitamin C: Why choose a non-acidic formula?

Vitamin C comes in various forms. Ascorbic Acid is the most common form but can be acidic and cause gastric discomfort in sensitive individuals. ANDREW LESSMAN uses Calcium Ascorbate, a buffered, non-acidic form that is gentle on the stomach. Additionally, the inclusion of natural citrus bioflavonoids (such as hesperidin and rutin) can enhance the absorption and antioxidant effects of Vitamin C. This formula is free from additives, artificial colors, preservatives, and common allergens like gluten, soy, dairy, and corn.
