The best vit C

I'm glad to have an organic, cherry based (non-citrus based) Vitamin C.Hope it adds more mg, per capsule in the future, but it is a good add to my multivitamins too!Love it!

This product is the fourth vitamin C product that I've used from Dr. Mercola over the last few years, after trying Dr. Mercola Vitamin C-PAK, Dr. Mercola Vitamin C-PAK with Quercetin, and Dr. Mercola Liposomal Vitamin C. Generally speaking, the Dr. Mercola brand tends to be expensive, largely due to product quality, but I personally don't consider any of these vitamin C products, including Dr. Mercola Organic Vitamin C Acerola Cherry, exorbitantly priced. One of the key differentiators of this product is that the vitamin C isn't from ascorbic acid like the other products, but is instead sourced from acerola cherries. Another reviewer here commented about this aspect of this product, stating that the capsules "come from a different source than my 'regular' vitamin C supplements...it's good to get variety in your diet, and your supplements." While I agree that variety tends to be good, in this case it's really a matter of synthetic versus natural ingredients. I've commented in other reviews that I'm still on my journey to better understand the differences between synthetic "isolate" vitamins versus whole food vitamins, but the sudden unavailability of Twinlab Daily One Caps multivitamin I had been taking up until several years ago actually worked out in my favor because it caused me to start taking a closer look at supplement facts. Just keep in mind that whole food vitamins tend to be quite a bit more expensive than their synthetic counterparts. And be careful to pay attention to serving sizes, because these can hide true cost. Another reviewer here stated that "each bottle contains 90 capsules, with 500 milligrams of vitamin C from organic acerola in each capsule", for example, and this is incorrect: the serving size of this product is actually three capsules, meaning 166.67mg per capsule. In my case, since I typically consume a minimum of 2000mg of vitamin C each day, this bottle would be expected to get me through just over a week (((90/3)*500)/2000=7.5 days), although whenever I do calculations like this I need to remind myself that the 2000mg of vitamin C that I consume is based on synthetic ascorbic acid consumption rather than whole food consumption, meaning this product would get me through a longer time period, but it's hard drawing an apples-to-apples comparison once a standardized synthetic isolate isn't used. And it has not been easy finding a decently priced whole food vitamin C supplement. Earlier this year, I started taking SmarterVitamins Whole Foods Vitamin C, which is also sourced from berries, but is based on a 2 capsule serving size that provides 180mg of vitamin C. Based on my default 2000mg per day consumption, the 5-pack that I purchased will get me through 13.5 days instead, which is almost double that of this Dr. Mercola product, but this consumption rate will also cost me $4.16 per day for SmarterVitamins versus $3.33 per day for Dr. Mercola. But have I actually been consuming 2000mg of vitamin C with these products? No, I haven't, because I know that whole food vitamins go a much longer way than synthetic isolates. But how much should I take? It's not easy figuring this out when considering these products in isolation, not to mention the fact that as a believer in individualized medicine, I know that every human body is different. As such, I just default to the serving sizes suggested by whole food vitamin products, reminding myself that the "%DV" values for products such as Dr. Mercola and SmarterVitamins really don't mean much.

The capsules are broken and stuck together in the bottle. It’s garbage.

Vitamin C is a vitamin supplement I have a love-hate relationship with. Sometimes they are huge and nearly impossible to swallow. Yet, I don't feel like I get enough vitamin C via my diet. But then finding one I can purchase that's palatable isn't easy.So, I was really happy to discover Dr. Mercola's Organic Vitamin C Acerola Cherry. Each bottle contains 90 capsules, with 500 milligrams of vitamin C from organic acerola in each capsule. There are 1 gram of fiber, 1.6 grams of organic acerola cherry juice powder and no sugar in these capsules. One serving size is three capsules.I like to take one capsule with each meal, so I can spread out my vitamin C intake over the day. The capsules are very easy to swallow with liquid.Our family prefers to take organic vitamins, and if they're whole food vitamins (as this is), even better, as we feel that we get maximum absorption into our systems when they are. I also know that Dr. Mercola has been studying and talking about optimum health for decades, so I feel that I can trust this brand. I'm really happy with the size of these capsules and how easy to swallow they are as well. Great vitamin and great quality. I feel better than I did when I began taking them, too!

Pros:I love that this vitamin C is a whole food and is organic.Cons:The capsules are very large and I had a harder time swallowing just one. I had to go find some nuts to eat as a chaser. It is feeling a little challenging to take these capsules as it takes three of these huge capsules to get my 500 mg.There's a lot of loose powder in the bottle of capsules for some reason, perhaps some capsules came open in the bottle. Anyway, I tasted it because I wondered if I could just dump out the capsules into some applesauce or something and consume it that way. However, like any vitamin C, it's pretty sour.These are a quality source of Vitamin C if you can handle the larger capsules.
