NOW FoodsSupplements, Vitamin C-500 Calcium Ascorbate, Antioxidant Protection*, 250 Veg Capsules

I really like this NOW Foods Vitamin C-500. It’s made with calcium ascorbate, which means the vitamin C is combined with calcium to make it less acidic and easier on the stomach. That’s important for me because some vitamin C supplements can be too harsh — this one feels totally fine, even on an empty stomach.Each capsule has 500 mg, which is a good amount. Your body can only absorb so much at once, so no need for super high doses. This gives you a nice, steady boost.I try to get most of my vitamin C from real food — things like kiwi, bell peppers, and citrus — but let’s be honest, I don’t always eat perfectly. That’s where this comes in handy.Big bottle, fair price, works well — and best of all, no stomach drama.

So far so good. I take two a day. Great value for the quantity. Will be repurchasing

Good poduct.

Use them every day!

I have tried this vitamin and the vitamin D from this brand and I don't know how but I have felt the difference with others. This one feels of good quality. Easy to take and doesn't upset my stomach.

This is a reputable company so I ordered their product but I am disappointed to find out that it was shipped from outside the country.Looks authentic.

Works good. Now brands are good products

I've started using Puritan Pride Calcium Ascorbate 500mg tablets over 20 years ago. They kept putting them in smaller and smaller bottles until the real estate in my supplement cabinet could not handle the space. So, I turned to largge bottles of NOW Calcium Ascorbate which I truly appreciate. My husband and I take a total of 4-6 a day with each dog getting one a day. The calcium buffers the acid from the C, and I've never had stomach problems using this. I up my usage and take stinky garlic oil capsules when I have a cold, and I'm convinced it helps. I'm not one that cares if its the placebo effect. If I feel better and recuperate more quickly, that's goal. When I'm using it to fight a cold, I know I've taken enough when my urine turns yellow and too much if I get the runs.I'm convinced it prevents me from bruising and helps to mitigate my muscle pain from over exercising. Lastly, I believe it's heart healthy contributing to the pliability of my veins and arteries. For the latter, I take this and tumeric daily.Yes, I've read one of Linus Pauling's books and tend to take the statistical analysis and conclusions of a Nobel prize winning, superb physicist over exhausted, overworked, sleep deprived ( in the case of interns and residents) distressed, brainwashed physicians... any day. I'd like to see medical studies set up by and directed (especially in relation to conclusions) by physicists or mathematicians who were not being paid by the pharmaceutical industry whose product they are investigating. I think the people would receive much more accurate information should this be the case.
