Planetary Herbals True To Nature C 500 mg Tablets

Natural form of vitamin C complex, from herbs, fruits and vegetables

Natural vitamin C is more than ascorbic acid: it contains a wide array of nutrients like bioflavonoids, ascorbigen, rutin, hesperidin, choline, vitamin K tyrosinase and organically bound copper

Provides micronutrients for enhanced health benefits

Although healers and scientists as far back as Hippocrates knew that fresh vegetables and fruits were important for health, it wasn't until the 1930s that vitamin C or ascorbic acid was discovered and its far-reaching benefits understood. Since then, vitamin C's importance has been established: it is available as ascorbic acid in pills, powders, drinks, tablets, and crystals.

But only in the past decade have we understood the importance of obtaining vitamin C from plants and food, rather than only from purified ascorbic acid. This natural vitamin C - called the vitamin C complex - includes ascorbic acid but it also contains a wide array of nutrients like bioflavonoids, ascorbigen, rutin, hesperidin, choline, vitamin K tyrosinase and organically bound copper. According to the vitamin C pioneers Dr. Royal Lee and Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgi, ascorbic acid is the outer shell of the naturally occurring vitamin C Complex.
