Zahler Vitamin C 500mg with Bioflavonoids – Gentle on Stomach – Immune Support – Gluten free Non-GM Supplement for Adults (120 Capsules)

Choosing the Right Vitamin C Supplement

When you're after a vitamin C supplement, it pays to consider a few key factors: dosage, form, and extra ingredients. For daily maintenance, 500mg is a solid choice that works well for most adults. If you've got a sensitive stomach, a buffered form like calcium ascorbate (rather than plain ascorbic acid) can make all the difference. Bioflavonoids are a handy addition too—they help your body absorb the vitamin C more effectively and bring their own antioxidant punch.

Zahler's Vitamin C is made in GMP-certified facilities in the USA and is vegetarian, kosher, Non-GM, and free from gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. That makes it a clean, trustworthy option for health-conscious Aussies.

What Makes Key Benefits of Vitamin C Important?

Vitamin C is well known for supporting the immune system, helping your body's natural defence work properly. It also plays a key role in collagen production, which keeps your skin elastic, your joints healthy, and helps wounds heal. As a powerful antioxidant, it helps neutralise free radicals—those unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and speed up ageing.

Zahler's formula includes 200mg of citrus bioflavonoid peel powder complex per serving. These plant compounds not only boost vitamin C absorption but also offer their own antioxidant benefits. Together, they work synergistically to support overall wellbeing, from immune function to skin health.

Understanding Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient that does a lot of heavy lifting in the body. It's essential for tissue growth and repair, helps keep bones and teeth healthy, and supports the immune system. Humans cannot make their own vitamin C (unlike some animals), so we need to get it from food or supplements. While citrus fruits and leafy greens are great natural sources, many adults find a supplement handy to fill the gap, especially during winter or when life gets stressful.

Zahler Vitamin C 500mg with Bioflavonoids gives you a moderate 500mg dose per capsule, using Pureway-C—a buffered form of calcium ascorbate that's much gentler on the stomach than standard ascorbic acid. Perfect for everyday wellbeing.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Not all vitamin C supplements are the same. The most common is ascorbic acid, which is acidic and can sometimes cause tummy upset, especially in higher doses. Zahler uses Pureway-C, a patented form of calcium ascorbate. This buffered, non-acidic form is much easier on the digestion, making it ideal for those with sensitive guts.

Other options include sodium ascorbate, liposomal vitamin C (for enhanced absorption), and wholefood sources like acerola cherry. But calcium ascorbate strikes a nice balance between bioavailability and stomach comfort. Paired with bioflavonoids, it helps your body get the most out of each dose without any drama.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The recommended dose for adults is one capsule daily, taken with food. Each bottle holds 120 capsules—that's a four-month supply. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any excess is flushed out in urine, but very high doses (over 2,000mg per day) might cause digestive discomfort. Stick to the recommended serving.

Before starting any new supplement, it's wise to chat with your healthcare professional, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
