Vitamin C Effervescent Powder Blend Orange Flavor
About This Product
The Walgreens Vitamin C Effervescent Powder Blend is categorized as an 'Other Combinations' supplement, containing 19 distinct ingredients. It received an N+ Score of 56, earning a grade of F, which indicates a generally low overall quality. The product delivers a robust 1000mg of Vitamin C, along with Niacin (5mg), Vitamin B6 (10mg), Vitamin B12 (25mcg), and Pantothenic Acid (2.5mg), all of which are present at dosages that research suggests may be effective. However, several B vitamins, including Thiamine (0.4mg), Riboflavin (0.4mg), and Folic Acid (12mcg), are underdosed compared to clinical recommendations. Despite 100% label transparency, its ingredient adequacy and formula completeness scores are low, at 29% and 25% respectively. This product may be suitable for individuals prioritizing high-dose Vitamin C and certain B vitamins in an effervescent format, but it does not provide comprehensive nutrient support.
