VitaCeutical Labs Organic Vitamin C 120 mg

Our assessment

The evidence shows that VitaCeutical Labs Organic Vitamin C 120 mg provides a specific dose of vitamin C. Data on this exact product's efficacy is not available. For general vitamin C guidance, the RDA for adult men is 90 mg and for adult women is 75 mg, with an upper limit of 2,000 mg daily [NIH ODS].

How it works

Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant and is essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, and the absorption of non-heme iron [NIH ODS]. Your body cannot produce vitamin C, so it must come from diet or supplements.

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product. For vitamin C generally, FDA received 694 adverse event reports. Side effects at high doses (above 2,000 mg daily) can include diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps [FDA data] [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

This 120 mg dose is within the safe and effective range for most adults. For general health, you can consider taking one tablet daily with food. If you have a history of kidney stones, consult your doctor before starting any vitamin C supplement [NIH ODS].
