Active-C is a superíor form of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Great product, prefer the 1000mg serving, but have been having trouble locating lately.Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is fundamental to human health, basically nobody gets enough from food alone, and it is water soluble so the body needs to replenish its supply daily.The Vitamin Shoppe Active-C formulations are Vitamin C in ascorbate (salt) form, where the ascorbic acid is combined with minerals like sodium and magnesium. This makes them gentler on the stomach, and preserves the potency of

excellent product
I've used active C for years, it doesn't upset the stomach and it is a strong immune booster, it always helps with cold and flu. I recommend it to anyone who wants a good product. It is large but it packs a punch. If you can't swallow large pills, go for powder, but if you want an easy delivery, this is it.

Bad batch
I have been using this product for several years, since Ester-C prices skyrocketed. I take a lot of C for adrenal support. I like that this is buffered with more valuable magnesium and potassium in addition to just calcium like Ester-C. My family has used more than a half dozen bottles of this large size Active C 1g over the last 2 years.Last weekend I bought a new bottle and started have stomach pain and weakness. This happened a few times whenever I took my vitamin pills. So I stopped all

Love it

Antioxidant

It’s been working for me! Great

I've been using vitamin C with bioflavonoids for a few years now. It works well for me. I have a compromised immune system.

How reliable is this product?

Best Answer:  I think it's reliable, I mean I didn't have any trouble taking it. I would rather use more of a name brand but the last couple of years vitamins have gone through the roof in prices. So sometimes I use the vitamin shoppe label vitamins and they seem ok.

is active C sustained release ?

Best Answer:  Just looked at my bottle and it doesn't seem to be. Maybe call the VS. I like this form because of its absorbency and time release isn't that important for me in Vit C.
