Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble essential vitamin that the body cannot synthesise; it must be obtained from the diet or through supplementation. It acts as a powerful antioxidant, helps build and maintain collagen (important for skin, bones, cartilage, gums and blood vessels), supports the immune system, aids iron absorption, and contributes to many core metabolic and cellular processes. This powder form allows for flexible dosing and ease of integration into daily routines, whether mixed into drinks, smoothies or other foods making vitamin C intake simple and convenient for modern life.

People who want to ensure adequate vitamin C intake - especially if diet lacks sufficient fruits/vegetables.

Individuals seeking immune support and cellular protection in times of stress, exposure or high demand.

Those interested in skin, joint, connective tissue or bone health - particularly if ageing, exercise or lifestyle put stress on tissue integrity.

Anyone who wants a clean, flexible, easily dosed supplement instead of relying solely on diet, ideal for busy lifestyles or seasonal support.

Metabolics Vitamin C Powder is developed with clarity, purity and everyday practicality at its core, providing pure ascorbic acid with no fillers or unnecessary additives.

Vitamin C is rapidly absorbed in the intestines and reaches peak levels in the bloodstream within approximately two hours. However, it is also quickly metabolised and excreted, with blood levels often declining within 3–4 hours. Due to this short half-life, smaller, more frequent doses may be more effective than a single large dose. Vitamin C requirements may increase during periods of stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, or when taking certain medications, such as some antibiotics, which can accelerate its depletion.
