Vitamin C + Zinc Powder Orange
Swisse
Overview
This blend provides a potent combination of Vitamin C and Zinc at scientifically-backed doses to support immune function, antioxidant defenses, and overall health. The use of multiple forms of Vitamin C, including buffered varieties like calcium and sodium ascorbate, enhances tolerability and potentially absorption. The choice of zinc amino acid chelate further improves the bioavailability of this crucial mineral.
The Good

Includes buffered forms of Vitamin C (calcium and sodium ascorbate) for improved gastrointestinal tolerability.
Formulated with highly bioavailable zinc amino acid chelate for optimal absorption.
The Bad

The 1g Vitamin C dose, while effective, can still cause mild digestive upset in very sensitive individuals.
Sodium content from sodium ascorbate might be a consideration for those on strict sodium-restricted diets.
