About 'vitamin complex'|Vitamin B Complex (3)
I am a firm proponent of taking extra vitamin C, especially during the cold and flu season, which is now upon us here in Alaska. My daycare children have been sick for the past two weeks! They have had the stomach flu, sinus and ear infections, bronchitis and colds. Knock on wood, I have not succumbed to it yet, but I am doing my part to keep my immune system in peak performance, and part of that routine includes taking several American Health vitamin C tabs every day. I don't like to swallow pills, so whenever I can take the same product in a chewable form I opt to do so. I've tried many different brands of chewable vitamin C over the years, and some of those orange colored vitamins taste pretty bad. Our family found a favorite brand a few years ago, and we've only been able to find it in the Health Food section of our local grocery store. It is made by American Health, and the tablets are large, almost like a wafer. They are 1" in diameter, and instead of having that tell tale orange color, they are actually light tan colored. They normally come in a tub of 250 wafers, but I was lucky to get a bonus sized tub holding 300. The container is very large, which poses a problem for storage - it's too large to put in any of my medicine cabinets, so it has to go in my food cupboard. It measures 8.5" tall and 4" wide. I like the extra wide mouth, which measures 2.5" in diameter; it makes removing the wafers much easier. The front of the container claims that these are natural vitamin C wafers, and they contain a whopping 500 mg per wafer. They also claim to promote immune system health, give antioxidant support, and say they are a vegetarian formula with a natural berry taste. The back label claims that the company has received awards for "best taste", and I see why. These are really tasty! They remind me of the sweet tart candies. Not too sweet and not real sour, just the right blend of flavors. They do have a berry taste as well, which I much prefer over the artificial orange taste of so many chewable vitamin C pills. They are free of yeast, milk, lactose, preservatives, soy and sodium. Supplement Facts* * Per 1 wafer: Calories: 15 Carbs: 3g Sugars: 3g Vitamin C: 500mg Acerola: 5mg Citrus bioflavinoids: 2mg Buckwheat flour: 19mg Rutin: 2mg Hesperidin complex: 2mg Other Ingredients: Sucrose, corn syrup, sorbitol, vegetable magnesium stearate, raspberry flavor, glycerin, silica, raspberry puree, caramel color, black currant extract, green pepper extract. About the Ingredients Rutin is a bioflavonoids, and a member of the vitamin P family. It's said to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiallergenic, and even anti-carcinogenic properties. Rutin contains 50% of quercetin, a product that I take successfully for my seasonal hayfever allergies. Hesperidan is another bioflavonoid, and it is thought to aid in proper functioning of capillaries and blood vessels. Buckwheat is a rich source of rutin. Thoughts We love these vitamin C wafers! One wafer a day provides 833% of the USDA Daily Value, and the vitamin C is sourced from ascorbic acid and rosehips. I love how natural they are, and the added raspberry and black currant flavors really make these taste quite good. I find it interesting that American Health displays a picture of bing cherries on the front of the label, since there are no cherry flavors in this product. I guess they just want to show they are "berry" flavored. I give them to my daycare children when they have colds, and out of seven kids that I care for, all but one loves them. They do contain sugar, but some sweetener is needed to make them palatable, since they are chewable. The benefits far outweigh any concerns. Still, if you are on a sugar restricted diet with diabetes or any other such health condition, please do use caution with a product like this. The container does have a tamper resistant seal that is easy to remove, and when first opened I find these wafers softer than when they've been sitting around for a month. They are to be stored in a cool, dry place, but I don't really have a cool place to store them, so maybe that is part of the problem. These vitamin C wafers are very expensive, retailing around $25.00 for the 250 count container (and I have never seen them packaged in a smaller bottle). I look for sales, and picked up my last bottle for $19.99. |
