Vitamin C Supplement 500mg with 25mg Bioflavonoids - Ascorbic Acid Immune support, Gluten-free, Soy-free (60 Soft gels)

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to several important functions in the body. Adequate intake supports normal immune system function, helping your body maintain its natural defenses. As an antioxidant, it helps neutralize free radicals—unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage over time.

• Immune support: Vitamin C is known to support the activity of immune cells and may help shorten the duration of common respiratory challenges when taken regularly.
• Antioxidant Protection: Combined with citrus bioflavonoids, vitamin C provides robust protection against oxidative stress from environmental factors.
• Collagen Production: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that supports skin elasticity, joint health, and the structure of blood vessels.

These benefits make vitamin C a foundational supplement for overall wellness.

What Makes Nutri-Rich Vitamin C Different?

Not all vitamin C supplements are created equal. Nutri-Rich focuses on purity and bioavailability. Their vitamin C is made with ascorbic acid sourced from non-GMO ingredients and is free from soy, gluten, artificial additives, and common allergens. The soft gels are blended with extra virgin olive oil to aid absorption and are gentle on the stomach.

Each batch is third-party tested for potency and purity, and the product is manufactured in the United States in an NSF GMP-certified facility. Nutri-Rich is a family-owned California company that prioritizes transparency and clean ingredient profiles.

Users often note that the softgel format is easy to swallow and that the 500 mg dosage with bioflavonoids provides a convenient, effective daily nutrient boost.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms: ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate (a buffered form), liposomal vitamin C, and whole-food sources like acerola or camu camu. Ascorbic acid is the most common and cost-effective form, with strong scientific backing for absorption and efficacy. Nutri-Rich uses pure ascorbic acid, which your body recognizes and utilises efficiently.

For those with sensitive stomachs, ascorbic acid can sometimes cause mild discomfort. However, Nutri-Rich's softgel formulation with olive oil is designed to be gentle. If you require a non-acidic form, sodium ascorbate or liposomal options are alternatives—but for most people, ascorbic acid offers excellent bioavailability at a reasonable cost.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own. It must be obtained through diet or supplementation. This powerful antioxidant plays a vital role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. While citrus fruits and vegetables are natural sources, many people choose a daily supplement to ensure they meet their needs—especially during seasonal changes or periods of increased stress.

Nutri-Rich Vitamin C provides 500 mg of pure ascorbic acid, the same form found naturally in foods and the most extensively studied form of vitamin C. Each softgel also includes 25 mg of citrus bioflavonoids, plant compounds that work synergistically with vitamin C to enhance its antioxidant activity and protect your cells from free radical damage.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The recommended dosage for adults is one softgel daily, providing 500 mg of vitamin C and 25 mg of citrus bioflavonoids. Each bottle contains 60 soft gels, a two-month supply. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess amounts are typically excreted in urine. However, very high doses (above 2,000 mg daily) may cause digestive upset for some individuals.

If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare practitioner before starting any new supplement. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this vitamin C on an empty stomach?

Ascorbic acid is generally well-tolerated, but taking it with food may reduce the chance of mild stomach upset. The softgel format with olive oil helps buffer acidity.

Is this supplement suitable for vegans?

The soft gels contain gelatine (derived from bovine sources), so it is not vegan. Those following a vegan diet may prefer a plant-based capsule alternative.

How long does one bottle last?

With one softgel daily, each bottle provides 60 servings, or approximately two months of use.

Does this product contain soy or gluten?

No. Nutri-Rich Vitamin C is soy-free, gluten-free, and free from artificial additives and sugars.
