Our assessment
Our assessment: The Vitamin Shoppe C 1000 mg provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C per serving. While the product label lists a specific brand, the detailed ingredient and mechanism data available is for calcium, not vitamin C. Based on the data provided, we can only review the evidence for calcium as a point of reference. For vitamin C, specific clinical study data is not available from the provided information.
How it works
If you are taking this product for its calcium content, think of calcium as a structural architect for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the vitamin C component, specific mechanism data is not available in the provided sources.
Safety profile
Based on the data for calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
