Key Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that contributes to many aspects of health. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for vitamin C: it contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal collagen formation for healthy skin and joints, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also enhances iron absorption and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Mason Natural Vitamin C 500 mg Chewables deliver these benefits in a convenient, great-tasting tablet.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient your body cannot produce. It must be obtained daily from food or supplements. As a powerful antioxidant, it neutralises free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and cellular damage. Free radicals are generated through metabolism and environmental factors like pollution.
Beyond antioxidant effects, vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen synthesis, supporting the structure of skin, blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments. It also boosts non-heme iron absorption, a key advantage for plant-based diets. Your immune system relies on vitamin C to maintain white blood cell function and skin barrier integrity. Consistent daily intake is essential.
Why Choose Chewable Vitamin C?
Chewable tablets are ideal for those who dislike swallowing pills or prefer a flavoured supplement. Mason Natural Vitamin C 500 mg Chewables have a pleasant orange flavour, making daily consumption enjoyable. They can be taken with or without food, whilst taking with a meal may reduce any stomach acidity.
This formula combines ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered, less acidic form that is gentler on the stomach. Each tablet provides 500 mg of vitamin C (556% of the Nutrient Reference Value), offering robust daily support.
