Scoring criteria
  • Quantity

    100 / 100

    The 4,000 mg daily serving is ample for supplemental vitamin C; the excess over a reasonable supplemental amount is addressed under safety.

  • Form

    85 / 100

    Calcium and other mineral ascorbates are buffered, less acidic forms that may be better tolerated than plain ascorbic acid.

  • Convenience

    100 / 100

    The label directs one teaspoon daily; each 5.2 g serving is one measured powder portion.

  • Label accuracy

    100 / 100

    The matched label declares 4,000 mg vitamin C per 5.2 g serving and gives a consistent daily direction.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    No other ingredients are listed, but no product-specific purity testing or controls are provided.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    The listed minerals are components of the mineral ascorbate forms and are not declared as meaningful complementary ingredients.
