Common questions
Is this vitamin C gentle on the stomach?+
Yes — it uses buffered, non-acidic vitamin C, a form that minimises the gastric discomfort or acidic irritation some people experience with plain ascorbic acid.
How much vitamin C is in each serving?+
Each 1/2 teaspoon serving delivers a total of 1200mg of vitamin C — 940mg buffered and fat-soluble vitamin C plus 256mg herbal vitamin C from bioflavonoids, rutin, acerola, hesperidin and rose hip. The serving also includes 5mg zinc picolinate and 75mcg selenium.
What is special about fat-soluble vitamin C?+
Fat-soluble vitamin C is retained in the body for far longer periods of time, and the maker notes it is more effective at transporting vitamin C into the heart, brain and central nervous system.
Why supplement vitamin C if I eat fruit and vegetables?+
Vitamin C is a nutrient the body needs but cannot manufacture itself. Fresh produce loses a significant share of its vitamin C when exposed to air, processed or stored, which is why many people choose to supplement. Speak to your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing or on medication.

Scientific information about Natural Vitamin C ingredients
Although Vitamin C is mostly found in citrus fruit, vegetable such as broccoli, peppers and Brussels sprouts are also very high in Vitamin C. the problem is that fresh produce that are left exposed to air could lose 30% to 49% of its nutrition in a periods of 3 to 24 hours (depending on the food and exposure). Processing and storage can also lead to a reduction of 90% plus in the Vitamin C content.
Vitamin C is one of the nutrients that the body need and cannot be manufactured by the body and therefore need supplementation. Scientific research also showed that Vitamin C is very common in a western lifestyle and need to be supplemented.
