Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™ by Garden of Life – Immune Support Vitamin C Capsules
Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™ capsules by Garden of Life provide 500 mg of vitamin C per two-capsule serving in a vegan formula. Unlike a vitamin C-only supplement, this formula combines vitamin C from a culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a raw organic fruit and vegetable blend, citrus bioflavonoids, probiotics and enzymes.
The 60-capsule bottle contains 30 servings. It offers a focused option for adults seeking whole food vitamin C alongside their usual meals, rather than a broad multivitamin. The capsules can also be opened when swallowing capsules is inconvenient.
Key Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™ Benefits
- Provides vitamin C for normal immune system support, helping maintain the everyday functions of the body's natural defenses.
- Supports collagen formation, an essential process for maintaining the connective tissue that gives skin and gums their structure.
- Contributes antioxidant support through vitamin C's role in the body's antioxidant network.
- Helps with plant-based iron absorption when vitamin C is consumed with food.
How Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™ Works
Vitamin C is water-soluble, and the body cannot make its own supply. Regular dietary intake therefore matters. After absorption, vitamin C helps enzymes carry out specific jobs, including the steps needed to build normal collagen. Collagen is a structural protein, so supporting its formation is different from supplying collagen itself.
This formula pairs that essential nutrient with a raw organic fruit and vegetable blend containing apple, beet, broccoli and other plant ingredients. Its probiotic and enzyme blend is a separate part of the formula; the vitamin C amount does not describe the amounts of those additional ingredients.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin C: Supports normal collagen production by helping the enzymes that stabilize this structural protein. It also participates in antioxidant activity and helps the body absorb nonheme iron, the iron found in plant foods. These nutritional roles connect vitamin C intake with everyday connective-tissue maintenance and nutritional support.

- Adults seeking a vitamin C supplement with a labeled 500 mg serving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™
What are the benefits of Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™?
Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™ provides 500 mg of vitamin C per two-capsule serving to support normal immune function, collagen formation and antioxidant activity. Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Garden of Life combines this nutrient with a 720 mg organic fruit and vegetable blend and a 60 mg probiotic and enzyme blend. The formula supplies vitamin C rather than collagen or iron themselves.
Who should take Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™?
This product is intended for adults who want vitamin C in vegan capsules with additional fruit, vegetable, probiotic and enzyme ingredients. Adults take two capsules daily, with or without food; the contents may be added to water or juice. It is not intended for children. The label requires practitioner consultation before use during pregnancy or nursing, before surgery, with regular medication use or when otherwise under medical supervision.
Are there any side effects of taking Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™?
Vitamin C can cause diarrhea, nausea or abdominal cramps, particularly with higher total intakes. This product is not intended for children. The label advises consultation during pregnancy or nursing, before surgery, with regular medication use or medical supervision. Keep it out of children's reach; do not use a broken or unsealed package. Its facility also processes soy, dairy, peanut, tree nuts and shellfish. Seek clinician guidance for kidney disease, kidney-stone history or iron overload, and before combining vitamin C with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a statin-niacin regimen.
How does Vitamin Code® Raw Vitamin C™ support overall health?
Its vitamin C contributes to normal processes the body uses every day: making collagen, supporting immune function and participating in antioxidant activity. Collagen helps give connective tissues their structure, while vitamin C also assists absorption of nonheme iron from meals. The body cannot produce vitamin C, so food and appropriate supplements supply it. The fruit and vegetable blend adds plant ingredients but does not replace the fiber and variety of whole fruits and vegetables.
