Vital C Tablets

Vital C Powder: Adults and children over the age of 10 should take 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of powder daily with or without food. Stir into water, fruit juice or beverage of choice. Vital C Tablets: Adults and children over the age of 10 should take 1-2 tablets daily, with or without food.

Both products use Alfred Libby's original formulation. The difference is in the form, serving size and method of consumption.

1. Form – One is powder, the other tablets.
2. Serving size – Each Vital C tablet gives you a fixed serving size of 1000 mg of Vitamin C. In contrast, the powder has a single serving size of 4000 mg of Vitamin C, but you can easily take a half or quarter portion (and thereby get 2000 or 1000 mg of Vitamin C, respectively).
3. Method of consumption – Tablets are swallowed; the powder can be mixed with the drink of your choice.

Our bodies need Vitamin C to protect our health and help our immune system do its job.¹ This workhorse vitamin:

• Helps us grow and repair tissue in all parts of the body
• Forms collagen, a protein in skin, ligaments and blood vessels
• Helps repair and maintain cartilage, bones and teeth²

Because Vitamin C is an antioxidant, it helps block some of the damage caused by "free radicals." These unstable molecules are formed by normal body processes, like digesting food, and also by tobacco smoke or radiation. The buildup of free radicals over time is largely responsible for the aging process.²

Our bodies can't make Vitamin C, or even store it up. So it's vital to get all we need by eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and by taking supplements.^1,2
