What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about animal-derived ingredients: it identifies the product as vegan and the model as vegetable capsules, but lists a bovine gelatin shell. Confirm the current pack ingredients if avoiding animal products. The listing describes one capsule daily and advises not exceeding directions. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet. Keep out of reach of children. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, and seek advice if adverse reactions occur.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Adults seeking a once-daily vitamin C capsule with added bioflavonoids.
- Buyers who prefer a capsule over a flavoured supplement and are comfortable checking the ingredient label for gelatin.
Less suited to
- People who require a confirmed vegan or vegetarian capsule without first checking the current package.
- Anyone who has difficulty swallowing larger capsules.
