Details

A high strength and easily absorbed Vitamin C syrup that's gentle on the stomach and delicious straight from the spoon. Our vitamin C is derived from sea buckthorn berries, a nutritious berry that contains around 10 times more vitamin C than an orange. 


Each 10 ml dose contains 650mg of vitamin C but, being a liquid, it's easy to adjust the doses to get more or less depending on what you need. 


The adjustable doses make this a good option for families - just one bottle works for everyone.

How to take

Take the recommended dose by age group:

Adults (over 12 years): 10mls (2 metric tsp)
Children (6-12 years): 5mls (1 metric tsp)
Young Children (1-5 years): 1ml ( metric tsp)

Acute support: If unwell, take recommended dose every 3 hours daily.
Daily support: Take recommended dose once daily to support a healthy immune system.

Herbalist tips

This syrup is delicious straight from the spoon but you could add it to a warm drink (not too hot - heat destroys vitamin C), to your drink bottle or even used as a dessert topping.

The best time to take Vitamin C is generally in the morning with breakfast or shortly after. Taking it with food can help improve absorption and, if you have a sensitive stomach, this can reduce the likelihood of stomach upset (although our Vitamin C is very gentle on the digestive system).

If you're taking Vitamin C to improve absorption of iron, then best to take it with your meals. Avoid taking Vitamin C with tea, coffee or other caffeinated drinks.

If taking medication (including antibiotics), take Vitamin C at least 2 hours before or after.

Sea buckthorn berries are one of the best sources of naturally occurring Vitamin C. As well as being super rich in Vitamin C and other antioxidant flavonoids, the berries also contain minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids and Vitamin E. Grows on very thorny bushes making the berries notoriously difficult to harvest.

FAQs

Does this vitamin C need to mixed in water?
No, our Vitamin C is delicious straight from the spoon. But if you prefer to mix in water, that's fine too. If mixed into a warm drink, the water should not be too hot as heat destroys vitamin C.
How much vitamin C do I need daily, and can I get enough from food alone?
Everyone's vitamin C requirements will vary depending on how quickly your body is using the vitamin C available to it. It will use vitamin C faster when you're stressed or unwell. While food is the first choice to source nutrients like Vitamin C, because our bodies don't have the ability to store Vitamin C, it's not always possible to keep up with your body's demands. That's when a supplement is a good option.
Will this Vitamin C upset my stomach?
Our Vitamin C is very gentle on the digestive system so it's unlikely to cause an upset stomach if you follow the recommended dose.
Is it possible to take too much vitamin C?
As our bodies can't store vitamin C, any excess will be flushed out through urine. A sign that your body has more vitamin c on board than it needs is loose stools.
Can I take this Vitamin C with other products in your range?
Absolutely yes - our Vitamin C is a nutritious companion to all our products across all ages with the exception of Elderberry, Vitamin C + Zinc and Echinacea, Vitamin C + Zinc. These two products contain 550mg vitamin C per serve so that's all you need. We recommend taking one of our Vitamin C products to support your immune system when unwell or at times of stress - that's when your body needs it most.
