Overview
['This NOW Foods product is a straightforward ascorbic acid crystal powder, sold unflavored in an 8 ounce container. Unlike a fixed dose capsule, a crystal powder lets buyers measure their own amount, which some people prefer for flexibility in mixing with food or drinks.', 'The product is labeled vegan and vegetarian, and the maker frames it around general antioxidant protection along with a broader benefit statement about supporting growth, development and repair of body tissues. These are manufacturer claims about a dietary supplement, not statements about treating any condition.', 'At a price near 9.20 dollars for 8 ounces, this is one of the more budget friendly ways to buy vitamin C by weight rather than by capsule count. A 4.7 rating from 5,500 reviews reflects generally positive buyer experience with the format.']

Frequently asked questions
How do you measure a serving of this powder?
Because this is a crystal powder rather than a pre-measured capsule, buyers need to weigh or measure their own serving according to the directions on the label. A kitchen scale or measuring spoon can help with consistency.
Does this powder have a flavor?
No, the listing describes it as unflavored. Some buyers mix it into juice or other drinks to offset the natural tartness of ascorbic acid.
Is this suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes, the listing states the product is both vegan and vegetarian. Always check the current label for the latest formulation details.
