- Product Information
- Vitamin C is well known for its contribution to normal collagen formation and function of cartilage, normal function of the immune system and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
In some cases, supplemental vitamin C may cause slight gastric upset in those with sensitive digestions. Our high-performance calcium ascorbate is a gentle, non-acidic form of vitamin C powder, which is an excellent choice for people with specific health problems. It’s also ideal for those who find tablets difficult to swallow.
Calcium ascorbate is a useful source of vitamin C. Once the body absorbs it, the ascorbic acid (the official name for vitamin C) is readily released from the ascorbate compound. Each gram provides almost 900mg of vitamin C plus 100mg of calcium.
Once added to water, the soluble crystals become a smooth-tasting liquid. Some people even choose to sprinkle it into food. We also sell calcium ascorbate in tablet form, which may be a more convenient way to take it during the day.
We source the very best raw materials for our formula. They are manufactured and packaged in UK factories working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

"Short Expiry Day"

I used Nature’s Best on a several occasions and never was unhappy or unsatisfied with their service, delivery or quality of the products. However, in my last shopping experience with this company took it’s tall when I used my Blue Light Card Benefits. I was entitled as a front line worker discount and I used it with my shopping at Nature’s the Best. In the past, without using my entitlement and paying full price for my purchases I had my deliveries within 3-4 days and the expiry days of the products were very long.
On this occasion and to my extreme disappointment my delivery time was over ten days and ALL of my products have LESS than seven months (usually up to two years) before expiry day.
Just because I was using my Blue Light discount I received products with a shorter expiry date that wouldn’t be the case if I would pay a full price.
I feel discriminated because I was using my discount benefits.

I have M**S and other vitamin C products have caused reactions and gut issues. This one is safe and effective. Dissolved in water twice daily this is fairly tasteless and gives me all the vitamin C I need.

I''m finding this to be easier take than other vit C forms. Not sure if there''s a measuring scoop in the tub (I haven''t spotted one yet!) But a scoop would be handy as the recommended dose is small
Recommend to a friend: Yes
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. This product does not come with a scoop. Thanks for the feedback, we can certainly pass this on.
