Consult With Your Physician
Before taking any supplements, you need to consult with your physician.
Our recommendations are not meant as a recommendation for or against using supplements but to recommend the product that we believe to be of the highest quality based on the criteria we describe in our guide mentioned above.
The products we recommend are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Recommended Vitamin C Supplements In Tablet Form
Vitamin C is easily absorbed in tablet form. Vitamin C is not stored in your body, which means that excess vitamin C comes out in the urine.
Therefore we need a daily supply. We strongly recommend that you keep to the dosages on the package and/or the daily intake your physician recommends.
