NaturesPlus Source of Life Garden Vitamin C – 60 Capsules – Organic Amla Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids

What makes this Vitamin C special?

Most vitamin C supplements use synthetic ascorbic acid. But NaturesPlus Source of Life Garden Vitamin C is different: it obtains its vitamin C from organic amla (Emblica officinalis), one of the richest natural sources of this nutrient. Each capsule offers 250 mg of vitamin C (500 mg per 2-capsule serving) along with natural cofactors and over 20 whole food extracts. Additionally, it includes 90 mg of bioflavonoids, the nutritional companions that help maximize its absorption. It is a clean formula, USDA organic certified, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, manufactured under strict quality standards in facilities that comply with cGMP standards and are registered with the FDA and NSF.

Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to:

• The normal functioning of the immune system.
• The protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage.
• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Iron absorption.
• Normal energy metabolism.

These claims are scientifically supported and are part of the register of authorized health claims in the European Union. By choosing a naturally sourced vitamin C, you get these benefits along with the additional phytonutrients from amla.

Key ingredients: organic amla and bioflavonoids

Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. It is a concentrated source of vitamin C, but it also provides tannins, polyphenols, and other antioxidants that protect vitamin C itself and enhance its bioavailability. Bioflavonoids (90 mg per serving) act synergistically with vitamin C, facilitating its absorption and enhancing its antioxidant effects. This combination of whole ingredients makes each capsule more than just a supplement: it is a concentrate of plant nutrients. In addition, the formula includes whole food extracts that provide natural cofactors for complete nutritional support.

Recommended dosage

The recommended dose is 2 capsules daily, preferably with meals, to obtain 500 mg of vitamin C and 90 mg of bioflavonoids. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, providing a 30-day supply. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose and to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.
