BioCare Vitamin C 1000 - High Potency Low Acid Vitamin C with Bilberry Extract for Immune, Skin and Antioxidant Support - 30 Tablets

Always use Biocare vitamin c it's the best.

Excellent clean product.

These were recommended by a health and fitness guru..... I am presuming the provenance mean I am getting a good quality product and feel better for that integrity.

Vitamin C is important for your immune system and overall health. Although expensive compared to other brands, I find this brand to be effective, with additives that allow for easier absorption. Cheaper brands could just get pee'd out. It's quite a sizeable tablet, so you need to be happy with swallowing it.

Lots of vitamin C is said to be good for staving off virus diseases, from the common cold to the Corona virus. Most vitamin C tablets are made from ascorbic acid, which is not good if you suffer from hyperacidity. But magnesium ascorbate is slightly alkaline and great when taken at bedtime if you suffer from acid reflux. It is also a good source of magnesium. This is particularly important since almost all of us are deficient in magnesium since this is seldom added to chemical fertilizers and we need masses of magnesium since it is needed for at least 300 different enzyme reactions, most of which are concerned with respiration and energy production. Magnesium deficiency is likely to be one of the biggest factors associated with chronic fatigue from which many of us are now suffering.

Looks a good product, BUT, disappointing to see all the other junk in it such as Dextrose, Soy, Potato Maltodextrin, glazing agents and anti caking agent, bulking agents, and more..... I wont be purchasing it again as I require pure C,

I've taken this product for over a year now, and it really does seem to be a high-quality vitamin C supplement, with good assimilation. The bilberry clearly helps with this, and I notice several specific benefits. One, a surgical scar that would get a bit red/inflamed when my vitamin C levels were low (why don't they tell you to supplement with vitamin C after surgery, as it is necessary for the healing process and to build collagen!) was remedied. Second, it really helps with overall well-being and energy. I rarely get sick (usually take 2-3 of these a day in the am and evening). In addition, I also use a pure ascorbic acid powder mixed with juice, bicarbonate of soda (not baking powder), or in sparkling water, to average about 10grams of Vitamin C per day. I do feel the absorption with these tablets are superior to the powder (from a major high street brand), but the powder is much less expensive per gram. The tablets are large, but not too challenging and no stomach/acidity issues. Have also used Biocare's 500mg capsules, which are a great alternative if size is a concern.

Very good quality.
