Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Supports a healthy immune system, helping your body fight off illness.
  • Acts as a strong antioxidant, protecting your cells from damage caused by harmful molecules.
  • Essential for making collagen, a protein vital for healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels.
  • Aids in the absorption of iron from plant-based foods, which is important for preventing low iron.
  • Affordable and widely available from a trusted brand.

Cons

  • High doses (over 2000mg daily) can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea in some individuals.
  • Can increase the risk of kidney stones in people already prone to them, especially with very high doses.
  • May interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners (like Warfarin) or statins, though this is less common with typical doses.
