Spring Valley Vitamin C Supplement, Orange Flavor, 250 mg, 70 Count, Gummies for Immune Health

These gummies are a perfect texture. Not sugar coated and not too sticky. (Most brands have a sugar coating, these do not! Some brands stick to your teeth, these do not! ) They are also the perfect sweetness. Not over powering. I always look forward to taking these. (I have been taking them for two years)

All animals except man, monkeys, the fruit bat and the vented bulbul bird synthesize vitamin C in their gut. Humans who also have bad habits — smoking (anything), drinking alcohol or irregular meals — need extra C, as you also do when recovering from an injury or surgery. You're likely to get more usable nutrient into your system in forms that dissolve in the mouth rather than in the gut, so this or a chewable tablet are more effective options. These allow you to space out a gram of C over 4 doses, which is, again, more effective than taking a one gram horse pill in a buffered tablet. Plus, it actually tastes like mandarin orange! I was prepared for orange-popsicle taste, but it was on special, so willing to deal with it … the really good taste was a pleasant surprise.
