Value for money

Vitamin C is one of the vitamins where research suggests that optimum benefits lie in intake greater than 100% RDA; in particular, Vitamin C is beneficial to the immune system. As such, Vitamin C supplements usually provide amounts ranging from 60mg to 1000mg.

This product contains 100mg Vitamin C in a normal tablet form. The low potency of this product at the advised dosage means that it is unlikely to deliver the benefits associated with moderate or high intakes of Vitamin C. However, the product also contains Zinc at 100% RDA.

Overall, the level of Vitamin C contained in this product is only marginally higher than is found in a standard multivitamin, and Zinc is at the same level. This product is expensive for what it provides and oveall better value would be achieved from choosing a good quality multivitamin or a higher specification Vitamin C product.
