    Great Vit C!

    I take one of these daily and have not run into any sickness since. I really think consistency helps with overall immune support! This brand was recommended by my doctor. Great price point, too.

    NOW Naturally Buffered C is Gentle on Sensitive Digestive Systems!!

    This is one of the best buffered C products. It doesn't have all the additives that many do (especially the one in the brown glass bottle!). It also works great, is reasonably priced and doesn't affect gut health. I would highly recommend!!

    Gentle on the Stomach, Subscribed

    I really like this NOW Foods Vitamin C-500. It's made with calcium ascorbate, which means the vitamin C is combined with calcium to make it less acidic and easier on the stomach. That's important for me because some vitamin C supplements can be too harsh - this one feels totally fine, even on an empty stomach.Each capsule has 500 mg, which is a good amount. Your body can only absorb so much at once, so no need for super high doses. This gives you a nice, steady boost.I try to get most of my vitamin C from real food - things like kiwi, bell peppers, and citrus - but let's be honest, I don't always eat perfectly. That's where this comes in handy.Big bottle, fair price, works well - and best of all, no stomach drama.

    This stuff works!!

    I just happened to order this because my usual Vitamin C was out of stock. I am glad I did. This definitely works better. I have noticed that my histamine has been more manageable. My biggest surprise was taking this at night helped with my histamine dump. I am getting more sleep. It has only been over a week. This will definitely be something I everyday for my perimenopause histamine issues.
