What is the difference between Vitamin C-400, Complex C, C-Vitamin Powder, and Daily C-Protect Booster?
Vitamin C
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin with many important properties. It is best known for contributing to the normal function of the immune system, even during and after intense physical exercise. It also helps protect cells from oxidative stress and increases iron absorption. Vitamin C reduces tiredness and fatigue and supports normal energy metabolism. Additionally, it contributes to normal collagen formation, which is essential for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth, and especially the skin. Few people know that Vitamin C also supports the normal function of the nervous system, normal psychological function, and helps regenerate the reduced form of Vitamin E.
Vitamin C-400, Complex C, C-Vitamin Powder, or Daily C-Protect Booster?
All these products contain Vitamin C, but Vitamin C-400, Complex C, and Daily C-Protect Booster are true whole food supplements, which the C-Vitamin Powder is not. While the powder contains added Vitamin C and some food ingredients, it is not a genuine whole food product. Even though the C-Vitamin Powder has a higher Vitamin C content and includes more fruits and berries, its absorption is not as effective as the other products. Daily C-Protect Booster by MegaFood is more of an immune support product compared to the other Vitamin C options. Complex C and Vitamin C-400 do not include adaptogens or herbs; they are purely Vitamin C and food-based. Complex C and Vitamin C-400 are our best Vitamin C products, but they are also the most expensive.
