Vitamn C Supplement

A Vitamin C Supplement is a type of vitamin supplement with predominantly Vitamin C. Taking a vitamin C supplement enables you to focus on this one vitamin, if you believe you need to supplement normal dietary intake with a vitamin C supplement. An alternative to taking vitamin c supplements is to try eating a lot of vitamin c containing foods or juices. Go here for a post listing of natural sources of vitamin C.

Typically a vitamin C supplement comes in a pill form, although vitamin c supplements also can be found in powder or liquid forms. A vitamin C supplement also can come in different strengths or concentrations. For example, there are 200 mg, 500 mg versions and 1000 mg versions available. Before taking dosages exceeding the recommended daily allowance, you should consult with a physician.

Vitamin C Supplement pills also come in various forms. Most typical are caplets or capsules. However, there also is chewable vitamin C for people who have difficulty swallowing pills. Some people find the chewable vitamin C supplements have a good citrus like taste, but others find they also have a chalky texture or sometimes a sour taste. For those that are sensitive to the chalky taste, buffered vitamin c can be a good option. Vitamin c liquid and vitamin c powder also are other options. Which form of Vitamin C supplements is best of course is a matter of individual likes and dislikes - whether capsules, caplets, chewable, liquid, buffered, powder, crystals etc.

Soluble powders or crystals also are good for people who have trouble swallowing pills.

Also multi-vitamins contain vitamin c. Typical multi-vitamins contain 60 mg or 120 mg of the vitamin. If you want 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the vitamin, a multi-vitamin supplement is a good choice. For vitamin c, 60 mg or 90 mg is about all that is needed to consume 100% of the RDA for the vitamin. Taking a multi-vitamin or a vitamin c supplement are ways to meet or exceed the RDA. Multi-vitamins are available from many sources, like Nature Made or Centrum, or any of numerous private label store brands.
