Description
Vitafusion’s Power C is a lower-dose gummy for adults who want something pleasant to take every day rather than a large amount of vitamin C at once.
Who it may suit
Pill-averse adults and anyone looking for a modest top-up to a diet already rich in fruit and vegetables may like it.
What the label says
From the brand’s listing:
- Each daily serving provides 188 mg of vitamin C.
- Supports immune function and acts as a source of antioxidants.
- Fruit flavour, chewed without water.
- No artificial flavours, high-fructose corn syrup or synthetic FD&C dyes; gluten and dairy free.
How it compares
188 mg per serving is far below the 1,000 mg of capsules, which keeps you well under the upper limit, but gummies cost more per milligram. Check the label for gummies per serving to see how long 150 lasts. For a family-labelled gummy, see the Jamieson 250 mg gummies. Look for the NPN on the Canadian label.
Heat and humidity can make gummies clump or soften, so keep the bottle closed and away from a sunny window or a hot car. As with any flavoured supplement, store it out of children’s reach and give it yourself so the daily amount stays under control.
Tips for taking vitamin C
If plain vitamin C upsets your stomach, take it with a meal. Splitting a larger amount into a morning and an evening dose is a common way to make it easier to tolerate. Keep your total from all sources under 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. People with a history of kidney stones should be cautious with high-dose vitamin C, and a pharmacist can check it against any medication you take.
