This is the best source of Vitamin C that I have found so far

Great source of vitamin c . Hopefully they do't sell out to a big corporation . Love the products from Smarter Vitamins !

Did a lot of research and this vitamin C supplement has all the right co supplements/minerals.

I've been a big believer in Vitamin C since stumbling upon the works of Linus Pauling. His Pauline Protocol saved me from the devasting spiral of Chronic Fatigue. I am forever in his debt.When it comes to taking larger amounts of C on a regular basis, you need to be aware that most forms on the American market are sourced from GMO corn. Yup, you read that right. Ascorbic acid on the whole comes from genetically-modified ingredients. Not only that, but it continues to be one of the only widely-available forms sold at reasonable prices. Consumers are left with little choice.I'm going to need to update this review down the road after I have the chance to fully test out the brand's efficacy in the real world. But it's not an understatement to say that I'm blown away by the novelty of the approach. Sourced from Tru C, it's NON GMO. Not only that, it's derived from whole foods. The list of ingredients is super impressive: goji berry, mangosteen, cranberry, acai -- a who's who of the best.But what's also significant is what ISN'T here: unnecessary binders and fillers like magnesium stearate or calcium dioxide. You know the drill because you see them so often you come to expect them. All you've got here is the veggie capsule and an organic rice-extract blend called Nu-Flow. I've honestly never seen another combo like this one.Do keep in mind that two capsules deliver 180 mg of Vitamin C. So if you're used to inhaling mega-quantities of ascorbic acid on programs like the Pauline Protocol, this might not quite be what you're after. This one is taking an entirely different tact.That's why I'm confessing that I'll need to revise this review in a few weeks or months. I'm already taking a highly-potent form of liposomal C that I like a lot. So I'm hoping that their effects will be synergistic. I've taken C long enough to be intimately familiar to how my body reacts. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.I love that five bottles are included in this offering. That makes a five-month supply at the suggested dosage of two capsules per day, sixty to the bottle. Over five months at current pricing, that works out to be only twelve bucks per month -- not bad when you consider what you're actually getting.The proof, however, is in the pudding (as the saying goes). Some people take C primarily in winter to beat the common cold. Others take it year-round to boost their immune system in these challenging times. Here's where I believe this new blend will excel. The end goal, as I'm beginning to learn, is BIOAVAILABILITY. That's the reason more people are turning to liposomal delivery mechanisms.But the other way to enhance bioavailability is to source your vitamins from whole foods that the body has been designed to handle. As stated, I have never seen a more ambitious lineup of wholesome ingredients. Add in that it's non-GMO, free of all those binders and fillers, made in the USA and what you end up with is a product that strives to live up to its tag line: cleaner, better, smarter.I wish more companies had the vision to offer a novel approach like this.

I got this because I really like the ingredients and I love this is ALL natural ! I have always believed that your body prefers natural sources of nutrition rather than it being provided by synthetic lab made chemicals. I have no proof of that but I think our body was designed for natural stuff. I also think that our body utilizes the ingredients better with natural sources. I used to not put too much stock in vitamin c and thought it helping with colds etc. was just an ole wise tell. But there has been just tons of studies indicating that it does ( may) help that and surprisingly things you would never think of. For example skin. Collagen requires two enzymes from vitamin c to be folded into a useable form.My two favorite ingredients in this is the pomegranate and schisandra. There was a remarkable study that showed pomegranate resulted in enzymes in the gut microbiome that had (may) incredible antioxidant properties with the chemical interactions that took place. And what was crazy is the scientist do (did) not know what it was and how it worked so astonishingly well. Schisandra is (may) super beneficial for the liver. Some argue it is the best ingredient for the liver there is. A incredible study came out showing that it (may) actually reversed liver damage.I really like how these are third party tested. That really boost the confidence level that it is what it's supposed to be. I also love how this is almost enough for a whole year. And that's everyday getting 300% of your vitamin c. I take one in the morning and one in at night as vitamin c does not last long in your body so I like to spread it out. With this being all natural and coming from 11 berries I like to think my body says "thank you" every time I take one ! So I rate this all 5 stars since I really like taking a supplement I feel good about and having no worries about any strange chemicals/ingredients. Hope this was helpful.

I believe that vitamin C is an essential supplement for both skin health and the immune system, at least in my case. That's why I was intrigued by this particular product, even though I already have an abundance of vitamin C supplements to supply an entire village of people. What caught my attention was its claim of being a raw whole food vitamin C. I can't recall having tried this type of vitamin C recently, so I was curious to see the benefits. The concept of deriving vitamins from whole foods appealed to me. While the initial price may seem high, it's important to note that the package includes 5 bottles, making the cost-performance ratio reasonable. I actually shared these with my siblings, and although they didn't notice any significant changes, they found them to be a suitable replacement for their regular vitamin C supplements. In summary, if this product goes on sale and you're in the market for a new vitamin C option, I recommend giving it a try.I will post photos once the review is posted because including photos can cause a delay in the posting of the review
