MegaFood's Complex C is made with vitamin C as ascorbic acid, along with organic ingredients—orange and orange peel, amla fruit, rose hips, green bell pepper, cranberry, and blueberry, which research shows are beneficial forms of the nutrient. Since this supplement includes a number of different ingredients, including rose hips, this may not be the best choice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Rose hips also may interact with antacids, estrogens, lithium, and medications that affect blood clotting. Although the amount of rose hip is very low, it is important to run this supplement by a healthcare provider before adding it to your regimen.

Vitamin C assists in converting iron that is poorly absorbed, such as plant-based sources of iron, into a form that is easier to absorb ( 18).

It found that people who took a vitamin C supplement had a 44% lower gout risk ( 16). Pullar JM, Carr AC, Vissers MCM. The roles of vitamin C in skin health.
