Healthspan Elite Vitamin C 500mg
Vitamin C 500mg from Healthspan Elite is a chewable orange tablet rather than one you swallow, using a sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid combination billed as gentler on the stomach at this dose, with added citrus bioflavonoids. Vegan, and part of the brand's official All Blacks range. Informed Sport certified, so every batch is screened against the banned-substances list for tested athletes.

Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it a chewable or a swallow tablet?
- It is a chewable orange-flavoured tablet, so it can be taken without water — handy for anyone who dislikes swallowing tablets.
- Why the sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid combination?
- Healthspan pairs the two forms and markets the result as gentler on the stomach at a 500mg dose than ascorbic acid alone, and adds citrus bioflavonoids.
- Is it suitable for vegans?
- Yes, Healthspan lists Vitamin C 500mg as suitable for vegans.
- Is it tested for banned substances?
- Yes. It carries Informed Sport certification, so every batch is independently screened against the WADA banned-substances list.
