Country Life Acerola Vitamin C Complex, 500mg, Chewable Berry Flavored Wafers, Supports Immune Health, 90 Wafers, Certified Gluten Free by GFCO, Certified Vegan by AVA

I don't like vitamin C lozenges. Too many of them are sugary and leave my teeth coated and leave their flavors lingering in my mouth. But, I am definitely a believer in taking vitamin C when I am coming down with something. And I am definitely coming down with something right now -- I have that congestion and sore throat that signal the onset of a cold (even though it is the middle of August!).Anyway, I started taking these a day or two ago and I really feel that they are helping. (So are rest, hot tea, and getting plenty of fluid.) My sore throat pain is less, without painkillers, and although I have a little sinus drainage, it seems to be decreasing. I now have legitimate hopes that this bug will not move down into my chest. I can't say that these wafers are the *only* thing responsible for that, but I do believe they are effective as part of a combination strategy.These have quite a lot of vitamin C (833%, which is based on a 2000 calorie diet -- I eat less than 2000 calories per day for sure, as I am counting calories this year, so it is a higher percentage for me). Although vitamin C is water soluble and excess gets excreted, I am probably only going to take these when I am feeling sick. I also like the presence of bioflavonoids from citrus and other plant extracts, and the fact that each tablet is low in sodium and has only 10 calories. Plus, these are vegetarian (and kosher).Flavor wise, these are quite tart, as you might expect. I am mostly getting a citrus flavor, specifically lemon, but it is a complex flavor with other hints of fruit as well. I did not find it particularly hard to take and actually enjoyed the flavor somewhat. But if you are not a fan of tart things, you may not like these. (Though there are some sugars as well, which probably help mediate the tartness.)Anyway, this is a nice non-lozenge source of vitamin C that seems to be working to help me stave off (or at least reduce the severity of) a respiratory virus, and that is what I wanted, so I am happy. (For what it's worth, you can see the full ingredients list and nutrition facts panel by zooming in on the product images.)

Finally an alternative flavor for vitamin C. Most vitamin C chewable tablets are orange flavor. My family loves this berry flavor. It's easy to swallow, there's no chalky flavor to it.

I’ve tried various vitamins over the years, but these chewable vitamins have truly been a game-changer! They’re not only packed with essential nutrients, but the taste is fantastic — no more choking down huge pills or struggling with unpleasant aftertastes. The texture is smooth and soft, making it feel like a treat every time I take one.

I love this chewable C, especially because it has bioflavonoids. But also because they are delicious and easy to chew. I don’t get an upset stomach and they help boost my immune system.

I like these very much. Too bad they are not available in an orange or citrus flavor. I prefer chewable vitamin C and these fit the bill. I have purchased numerous times. My grandchildren did not like too much, but they will take a couple when they are ill; I bought for them but my daughter is the one who is using. At least some one is happy. I'm happy with them. the price is better than other brands and many do not have the added Acerola berry.

Has a good flavor and good quality

My husband takes these chewable Vitamin C wafers. I've ordered from other companies, but the wafers are thicker & he doesn't want to crack a tooth. These Country Life wafers are his favorites. The flavot is nice and they are easy to chew. They came quickly too!

I take high doses of vitamin C daily to promote healing. I choose this one because it is truly natural and free of additives that most other vitamins contain, some of which cause sensitivity reactions. I've been using this product for over a decade and it is very reliable. As I live in hot and humid Florida, I do keep the large bottle in the freezer and take out pills to use for a few days at a time.
