The complete guide
A Buyer's Guide to Vitamin C 1000 mg 150 Tablets
Start with the label, not just the number
Comparing tablet listings can be hard when a title gives only a nutrient amount and a pack count. Those details do not tell you the full ingredient list, the directions or the warnings. Read them together before deciding whether to order.
This product is listed as Vitamin C 1000 mg 150 Tablets. It contains 150 tablets, with 1000 mg total vitamin C listed per tablet. Australia is the stated country of origin.
This guide sets out the maker's details without making claims about effects or results. It is not a personal recommendation. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist about whether it is right for you.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
What the 1000 mg figure means
The 1000 mg in the product name refers to the listed total vitamin C amount per tablet. It is not the weight of the whole tablet. The maker does not give the tablet's total weight.
Three ingredients contribute to that total. Ascorbic acid is listed at 385 mg. Calcium ascorbate dihydrate is listed at 381 mg, providing 315 mg of vitamin C. Sodium ascorbate is listed at 339 mg, providing 300 mg of vitamin C.
The vitamin C contributions add up to 1000 mg. The compound amounts and their vitamin C contributions are different figures, so it is worth reading both rather than adding every number on the label together.
If you are comparing ascorbic acid tablets with another listing, check the full ingredient record. A matching number in two product names does not establish that their complete formulations are the same.
Read the other listed ingredients
The vitamin c tablet ingredients record includes more than the three vitamin C sources. It also lists citrus bioflavonoids extract at 25 mg, rutoside at 50 mg and hesperidin at 50 mg per tablet.
Two fruit extracts are listed. Rosa canina, identified as rosehips, is listed as 62.5 mg dry concentrate, equivalent to 250 mg dry fruit. Malpighia glabra, identified as acerola, is listed as 12.5 mg dry concentrate, equivalent to 50 mg dry fruit.
An extract amount and an equivalent dry fruit amount are separate label details. They should not be treated as two extra quantities of the same ingredient to add together.
When comparing vitamin c with rosehips or vitamin c with acerola, look at the named extract and both stated amounts. This page records those details but makes no claim about what those ingredients will do.
Check the directions exactly
The supplied adult and children's directions read as follows:
Adult dosage: Adults, Take 1 tablet once a day, or as professionally prescribed. Take with food. CHILDREN DOSAGE: Children under 18 years of age, Only as professionally prescribed. Dosage: Adults, Take 1 tablet once a day, or as professionally prescribed. Take with food. Adults Only
The phrase “one a day vitamin c” in a search title is not a substitute for reading these directions. In particular, it does not remove the wording about professional prescribing or taking the tablet with food.
Do not use the pack count to decide your own dose. If a direction is unclear, ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking the product. The maker does not provide instructions for crushing, splitting or dissolving the tablet.
For a question about changing the tablet form, speak to a pharmacist rather than assuming that an oblong tablet can be altered.
Read every warning before ordering
The supplied warnings are:
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional. Dietary supplements can only be of assistance if dietary intake is inadequate. Not to be used in children under 2 years of age without medical advice. Contains benzoates. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your health professional before use.
These warnings belong with the ingredient list and directions. Read them before purchase, not only after the pack arrives.
The children's directions and the warning about children under two should not be read as permission to choose a dose for a child. The listed directions for anyone under 18 say only as professionally prescribed.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, follow the instruction to talk to your health professional before use. If you have questions about your medicines, other supplements or any listed ingredient, take those questions to a doctor or pharmacist.
Check dietary statements without making assumptions
The supplied allergen information states Gluten Free. The maker's supplied statement also reads:
No added yeast, gluten, wheat, milk derivatives or preservatives. No added artificial flavours or sweeteners.
The warning separately states that the product contains benzoates. Both statements are part of the maker's description. If you need help understanding them together, ask a pharmacist rather than drawing a conclusion from just one line.
“No added” wording should not be expanded into claims that are not listed. The maker does not state vegan or vegetarian suitability. It also does not provide a complete inactive ingredient list.
If a particular ingredient or dietary requirement affects your buying decision, request the current label before ordering. A short online specification is not a replacement for checking the pack.
Decide which details you still need
A vitamin c 150 tablet pack gives a clear count, but count alone may not answer your practical questions. The supplied description identifies an oblong-shaped tablet. Its dimensions are not listed.
If tablet size matters to you, ask for more information before purchase. There is no stated tablet length or width on which to base a comparison.
The maker's description also leaves the brand, GTIN, manufacturer part number, pack weight and pack dimensions unspecified. There is no batch-specific expiry date listed here.
These gaps should stay visible rather than being filled with guesses. You can ask us for missing pack details and take the current label to a doctor or pharmacist. That is a better basis for a decision than assumptions drawn from similar-looking products.
Compare listings on the same basis
When looking at vitamin c tablets 1000 mg, compare the amount per tablet rather than relying on a product heading alone. Then check the tablet count, named ingredients and stated directions.
For calcium ascorbate vitamin c or sodium ascorbate vitamin c listings, distinguish the compound amount from the vitamin C amount it supplies. The maker gives both figures.
Check other ingredients separately. A listing for vitamin c with hesperidin or vitamin c with rutoside may use a similar search phrase, but the exact amounts still need to be read.
A larger pack or a higher number is not a personal recommendation. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you. This guide does not rank products by health effects or suggest that one formulation will produce a particular result.
Delivery is within Australia only
We dispatch within 2 working days and delivery then takes up to 7 working days by tracked courier, Australia only.
Dispatch time and delivery time are separate. Allow for both when considering when an order may arrive. The delivery wording does not promise a particular arrival date.
If you are buying for someone else, check that the delivery address is in Australia. Also check with the recipient before buying a supplement as a gift. They should have the chance to review the ingredients and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about whether it is right for them.
Check the pack before opening
On arrival, check the pack condition and seal. Read the current label, including the ingredients, directions, warnings, storage instructions and expiry information.
Follow the storage instructions on that label. A storage temperature is not specified by the maker, so this page does not supply one.
Keep the label with the pack so those details remain available. If anything is unclear or differs from what you expected, contact us before deciding what to do next.
Change of mind returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery on unopened, sealed packs only. Opening the pack affects that change of mind condition. Faulty or damaged items are put right under the Australian Consumer Law.
The short version
This is a 150-tablet pack with 1000 mg total vitamin C listed per tablet. The maker provides the vitamin C sources, other listed active ingredients, adult directions and warnings.
Read those details together, and ask for any missing information that matters to your decision. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist about whether it is right for you.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
