Frequently asked questions about Vitamin C

How much vitamin C do I need per day?

Daily needs vary depending on age, sex, and lifestyle. For adults, the reference intake in the EU is 80 mg per day. This supplement provides 500 mg per capsule, a higher dose that may be suitable for those seeking an extra contribution.

What is the difference between ascorbate and ascorbic acid?

Ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, usually combined with minerals such as sodium, calcium, or magnesium. This reduces acidity and may be better tolerated by people with sensitive stomachs. However, both forms are equally effective.

Can I take this supplement with other medications?

If you are taking medication, consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement. Vitamin C can interact with certain drugs.
