Description
Webber Naturals’ chewable is a no-frills option for people who want a chewable tablet without paying for a children’s brand. The value size holds 300 tablets, enough for most of a year at one a day.
What the label says
- Each chewable tablet contains 500 mg of vitamin C, according to the brand.
- Vitamin C is water-soluble, so daily intake matters.
- Antioxidant role, including recycling vitamin E and helping absorb non-heme iron.
- Immune, wound healing and connective tissue support for bones, gums and teeth.
- No artificial colours or preservatives; no sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts or GMOs. Suitable for vegetarians.
How it compares
The dose matches the Jamieson family-size chewable at 500 mg, but this bottle states it has no sugar. The flavour is not named in the listing; check the label image on Amazon.ca. A large count like this generally means a low cost per tablet. See the full vitamin C shelf for other chewables.
Many chewables are sweetened to mask the sour taste of vitamin C, so read the ingredient panel for sugar, sugar alcohols or other sweeteners if that matters to you. Sugar alcohols in large amounts can cause loose stools, especially in children.
Who it may suit
Adults who like chewables but want to avoid sugar, and vegetarians, may find it a good fit. The listing does not give an age range, so for children check the bottle directions or ask a pharmacist.
Tips for taking vitamin C
A few practical points: food in the stomach usually makes vitamin C gentler, and two smaller servings tend to sit better than one big one. The general ceiling 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; above that, digestive upset becomes more likely. Anyone prone to kidney stones, or on regular medication, should check with a pharmacist before starting.
