Source Naturals Chewable C, Acerola Cherry, Antioxidant Immune Support* - 120mg - 100 Fruit Flavoured Tablets

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Discover Source Naturals Chewable — Vitamin C is well-known for supporting immune function.* It's a potent antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.* This antioxidant activity supports overall cellular health and can help maintain your body’s natural defences.*

Beyond immune and antioxidant support, vitamin C is essential for collagen production. Collagen is a key protein in skin, bones, tendons and blood vessels, making vitamin C important for maintaining the structural integrity of these tissues.* It also aids the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, which is especially beneficial for those on vegetarian or vegan diets.*

Additionally, vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal function of the nervous system.* Including vitamin C in your daily routine helps support a wide range of bodily processes so you can feel your best.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is one of the most essential nutrients for overall health. As a water-soluble vitamin, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation because the body cannot produce it itself. Vitamin C plays a critical role in forming collagen, a structural protein that supports connective tissues throughout the body. It's also involved in amino acid metabolism, hormone synthesis, and the utilisation of other important nutrients like folic acid and iron. This makes vitamin C a foundational part of a well-rounded well-being routine.

Source Naturals Chewable C provides 120 mg of vitamin C per tablet in a convenient, delicious fruit-flavoured chewable form. Sourced from acerola cherry, a natural source of vitamin C, this supplement is designed to support your daily nutrient intake with a pleasant taste that encourages consistent use.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms, each with its own characteristics. The most common is ascorbic acid, which is highly bioavailable and cost-effective. However, people with sensitive stomachs may prefer buffered forms like sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbate, which are less acidic.

Liposomal vitamin C, encapsulated in lipid layers, is marketed for enhanced absorption, while whole-food sources like acerola cherry, camu camu and rose hips provide naturally occurring vitamin C along with additional phytonutrients. Source Naturals Chewable C uses acerola cherry, offering a whole-food inspired approach in a convenient chewable tablet.

For those who prefer a pleasant-tasting supplement, fruit-flavoured chewable tablets are an excellent choice. They're easy to take, especially for kids or adults who struggle with swallowing tablets. With 120 mg per tablet, this product provides a moderate dose suitable for daily use or as part of a higher-dose regimen (up to 3 tablets daily as suggested).

How to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement

When picking a vitamin C supplement, think about dosage, form, and extra ingredients. A dose between 100–500 mg per serving is common for general maintenance, while higher doses (1000 mg or more) might be chosen for targeted immune support. The form—chewable, capsule, tablet, powder or gummy—should match your personal preference and lifestyle.
