Vitamin C Crystals 1 lb by Now Foods – Antioxidant and Immune Support Powder
Vitamin C Crystals powder by Now Foods supplies ascorbic acid in a pure powder format for adults who prefer mixing a supplement into juice or water rather than swallowing capsules. This 1 lb container provides about 413 servings, with 1,100 mg of vitamin C in each 1/4 level teaspoon (1.1 g).
The single-nutrient formula focuses on vitamin C rather than combining several vitamins or minerals. Its powder format lets you prepare the labeled serving in a drink, while keeping the amount of supplemental vitamin C easy to identify when reviewing your daily routine.
Key Vitamin C Crystals 1 lb Benefits
- Supports normal immune cell function by supplying vitamin C, an essential nutrient involved in everyday immune system activity.

- Supports collagen production, helping maintain the connective tissue that gives skin, bones, and joints their structure.
- Assists plant-based iron absorption, supporting the body's use of this dietary mineral.
How Vitamin C Crystals 1 lb Works
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that humans cannot manufacture, so it must come from food or supplements. After absorption, cells use it in several normal processes. Its ability to donate electrons helps neutralize free radicals and supports enzymes that build collagen. Collagen forms a supportive framework in connective tissue; vitamin C helps the body make that framework rather than supplying collagen itself.
Vitamin C also helps change iron from plant foods into a form the digestive tract can absorb more readily. Because absorption and excretion regulate vitamin C levels, a larger serving does not automatically translate into greater nutritional benefit. Consider the 1,100 mg serving alongside vitamin C already present in multivitamins or other supplements.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin C: Provides ascorbic acid for normal immune function and antioxidant activity. By supporting collagen-building enzymes, this nutrient helps maintain connective tissue in skin, bones, and joints. It also assists absorption of iron from plant foods, connecting its everyday nutritional role with several normal body functions.
