Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant involved in immune defence, collagen synthesis, iron absorption and adrenal function.
The body cannot produce or store it, making consistent daily intake important. This range covers standard, buffered and liposomal vitamin C, with options for higher therapeutic doses.
Not all vitamin C supplements are equal. Synthetic ascorbic acid is widely available but can cause digestive discomfort at higher doses.
Buffered and whole food sourced vitamin C formulas offer gentler, more sustained absorption, making them a better choice for those taking higher amounts or with sensitive stomachs.
The UK recommended daily intake is just 40mg, but many nutritional therapists suggest higher amounts, particularly during illness or periods of stress. Most adults benefit from 500 to 1000mg daily.
We recommend consulting a healthcare practitioner for personalised guidance.
Ascorbic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin C and is widely used in supplements.
Whole food sourced vitamin C, derived from sources like acerola cherry, is accompanied by natural cofactors that may enhance absorption and reduce stomach sensitivity, making it a gentler option for daily use.
Yes. Vitamin C is water soluble, meaning the body excretes any excess rather than storing it. Daily supplementation is safe for most people and particularly beneficial during winter months, periods of stress or when immune support is needed.
