Description
CanPrev is a Canadian natural health brand, and its plain vitamin C capsule is designed around a short ingredient list: a full gram per capsule, no binders, no fillers and nothing animal-derived.
What the label says
From CanPrev’s description:
- Each capsule delivers 1,000 mg (a full gram) of vitamin C.
- Vegan, and free from gluten, dairy, soy and added sugar.
- Presented as gentle on digestion for sensitive systems.
- No binders or fillers in the formula.
- 240 capsules per bottle.
Who it may suit
Vegans, people avoiding common allergens and anyone who wants one capsule a day with nothing extra will find this a clean choice.
How it compares
Dose per capsule is the same as Pure Encapsulations ascorbic acid and Sports Research, so the real differences are certifications, origin and count. With 240 capsules, one a day covers eight months, which usually keeps cost per serving low. Being a Canadian product, it carries an NPN; you can see it on the bottle images.
If you take other supplements, read their labels too. Many multivitamins, electrolyte drinks and immune blends already contain vitamin C, and doubling up is easy. Adding the figures together takes a minute and helps you stay within a sensible daily total.
Tips for taking vitamin C
Count everything: a multivitamin, a drink mix and this product together can add up quickly, and the upper limit is 2,000 mg a day for adults, the tolerable upper intake level set out by Health Canada and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Taking servings with meals and spacing them out helps if you notice heartburn or loose stools. If you have had kidney stones, or you take prescription drugs, a quick conversation with your pharmacist is worthwhile.
