Powder allows fully personalised dosing, tailored to your needs, build or the time of year. It dissolves easily in water, juice or a smoothie, making it easy for anyone who struggles to swallow tablets. It also skips the binders and coating agents found in standard tablets, giving a purer product, and works out significantly cheaper over time than repeatedly buying small tablet packs.

Dissolve 1/2 to 1 measuring scoop (500mg–1g, included with the jar) in a large glass of water, fresh fruit juice or a smoothie. Take in the morning or early afternoon, as vitamin C can have a mild stimulating effect. Start with a moderate 500mg/day and increase gradually if needed. It can also be added to cold preparations like purées or yoghurt — avoid hot preparations, as heat can degrade the vitamin.

Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function, a valuable ally during season changes, and to reduced tiredness and fatigue — appreciated by busy city dwellers. It supports the absorption of plant-based iron, particularly useful for vegetarians and vegans, contributes to normal collagen formation for healthy skin, gums and cartilage, and is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Made by Novoma, a French brand known for simple, pure formulations with no unnecessary additives, manufactured in France or Europe to strict standards. The jar has a practical, airtight design to preserve quality over time.

Follow the recommended dose. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if unsure. Not recommended for people with iron overload (haemochromatosis) or a history of kidney stones. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use. This food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of young children’s reach.

Can I dose it without scales?

Yes — each jar comes with a scoop calibrated to 500mg. Fill it level for a precise 500mg dose, or use two scoops for 1g.

How long does a 500g jar last?

At 1g/day, roughly 500 days (over a year); at 2g/day, about 250 days — an economical choice for long courses, whether for individual or family use.

Does vitamin C powder taste acidic?

Yes, L-ascorbic acid is naturally acidic. Dilute it in a large volume of liquid, like orange juice or a smoothie, to soften the taste, or mix it with yoghurt or purée. If you have a sensitive stomach, take it with a meal rather than on an empty stomach.
