Smarter Raw Whole Food Vitamin C from Berries, Premium Antioxidants, Bioflavonoids & Polyphenols, 60 Vegan Capsules

The biggest draw to this vitamin C supplement for me is what is DOESN'T have: no fillers, no artificial ingredients, no synthetic substances, and no GMOs.All you get in each capsule is whole food-based vitamin C (which is presumably better for absorption), which I appreciate.I wish each capsule contained a larger mg serving of vitamin C -- although my understanding is that the body can only absorb and utilize about 300mg of vitamin C at a time, a bit more per capsule would be a nice bonus. This is a minor nitpick, however.These capsules are average in size: smaller than most once-a-day multis or Ancestral Supplements dessicated offal capsules (for example), and very easy to swallow with a sip of water. There is a very mild dark berry aftertaste that I detect, but I rather enjoy it and it doesn't linger for long (if that flavor doesn't appeal to you).This SmarterVitamins "TruC" vitamin C has quickly become one of my 2 "go-to" vitamin C supplements which I trust for quality, dosage, and integrity.

Love these vitamins, best vitamin c I've tried. No bad side effects and seems to boost my immune system immediately and is great for skin. Only issue is I'm ordering from Canada so it’s quite pricey, wish they were sold in Canada!

Can't take man made Vit C. Just tears up my stomach. This product works wonders for me. Just wish it was less expensive!!

These pills have no flavor....they're easy to swallow and pills are not too large..I'm taking two pills twicea day with food....No negative side effects but difficult to quantify any actual benefits. Why I purchased this formula was because it didn't contain bioperine...black pepper extract which irritates my stomach. The brand I had taken for quite awhile (and didn't read the fine print) was starting to give me acid reflux...This formula does not...I don't like ascorbic acid for getting adequate vitamin C because high doses will cause digestiveupset...so finding a natural source of C which is made from berries was why I gave this a try...I was bruisingeasily which is why I thought I required a little more vitamin C....easy to do this with a natural formula...almost impossible to take larger quantities when the product is from ascorbic acid....I can't rate theabsorbency...I can only wait and see if it helps me with easy bruising...Might need more than the packagerecommends...Meanwhile, I'm happy with my purchase.

UPDATE 1-31-21I've been taking these vitamin c pills now for a year and I love them. I honestly think they are the highest quality natural vitamin c supplement you can get. I love them so much I've got my wife taking them now and we've started taking their vitamin d3 also. Amazing product! Amazing price also!I've been taking this for 2 weeks now and i think these combined with some other new vitamins I've started taking have made a slight difference in the way i feel.I was looking for a whole food type of vitamin C at a good price and thought I'd try these out. So far so good. Easy to swallow. Has a slightly sweet taste. I like the fact that they're capsules and not pressed pills. I will update my review after I've finished at least 2 bottles, that way i feel that I've given my body enough time to have the full effect from any new supplement or vitamin.

I’ve had great experiences with all of the Smarter Vitamins sups that I’ve tried so far. No noticeable side affects, proper sizing on the pills so they go down easy yet they’re not so small that you end up dropping one every time you open the bottle (the Biotin, sooooo small...). They are whole food derived so your body has a better chance of being able to digest and actually use it and of course the value is outstanding!I’m currently using their Omega product as well as their Caffeine / MACCA product and I have nothing but good things to say. The company is quick and responsive also.Research will tell you that Vit C is not a vitamin that most people “need” to supplement, but in today’s world I see it as cheap insurance for the immune system; especially if you over stress your body, don’t get consistent adequate sleep and don’t get a lot of it in your diet.

This Vitamin C supplement is excellent! The organic fruit powders and extract powders are wonderful and purposefully chosen. These capsules are very small and easy to swallow. They've been instrumental in boosting my immune system and helping my body recover from upper respiratory infection/flu symptoms.The quality of this product and this company is second to none! I'm very happy with it, particularly because I don't get enough fruits and berries in my body on a daily basis. This supplement helps me get the nutrients I need, and for that I'm very thankful. The capsules are plant-based, Non-GMO, and USDA Organic. I genuinely feel healthier and have more energy since starting this supplement. I highly recommend it!

Just got these today and am super excited to add these into my supplement routine. I have been doing alot of research on Vitamin C, and although it can add many benefits to your health, the synthetic form of it, which is ascorbic acid, does not. That is exactly why I chose this particular brand of vitamins because it's sourced from whole foods which is extremely important if you want it to be most effective for your needs. I started off taking 3 pills after a workout on an empty stomach. I will most likely do it this way for awhile so that I can see and feel it's effectivness more apparently. (FYI: you may not want to do it that way, I'm on a particular supplement schedule that is why I have to take it by itself) However, because it is a wholefood supplement I doubt you can do it wrong, just find what works for you! Listen to your body and good luck!
