    I ordered four with S&S and the total was $20.40 for some reason. $5.10 each

    • hamza23 on 24/07/2023 - 11:27

      Hmm not sure, 4 comes to $30.60 for me ($7.65ea), 5 for $36.12 ($7.22ea, additional 5% off activates).

    Does it show an expiry date? Couldn't find one

      No expiry dates on regular Amazon AU items unfortunately, only warehouse (short dated/damaged) items.

      • randomdude14 on 24/07/2023 - 11:39

        Thanks. It better not be short dated - 300 tablets :D

          I would be asking for a refund if the expiry if earlier than 2024, since it recommends 2 tablets a day, so product needs to have at least 5 months on it.

          I've seen discounted vitamins on Amazon Warehouse with a few months left before expiry, so I don't think Amazon would sell anything that close to expiry as new.

    My dentist doesn’t recommend chewable Vit C, it’s pretty acidic and he has seen tooth damage.

    Buy the swallowable kind, they cost more though.

          not really, no need to scare people into not taking these, when 99% of those people eat foods that are more acidic and worse for their teath throughout the day.

        THAT is what you are NOT supposed to do.

        You are filling your mouth with an acid solution for an extended period.

        If you chew them as recommended, small pieces of vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) gets stuck in your teeth causing localised erosion.

    Wouldn’t recommend bothering with Vitamin C supplements - no evidence to suggest it’s helpful for colds, and you can get your RDI from a half punnet of strawberries or a single capsicum anyway. Zinc has some evidence for preventative effects (though still not much) so would be a better choice of supplement.
    It’s a good discount though.

    • Flying Ace on 24/07/2023 - 13:01

      Have you seen the price of capsicums or strawberries?

      Surely it’s much easier for people to have a couple of vitamin c tablets than munch on a whole capsicum every day.

      • Ozymandias on 24/07/2023 - 13:30

        They’re just examples - oranges, mandarins, broccoli, etc, etc. It might be easier but it’s not really healthier.

          I negged you. Sure, taking ascorbic acid — which indeed is not the whole vitamin C complex, and is typically synthesized from corn syrup and acetone, btw — sure doesn't replace eating fruit and — especially! — veg rich vit C — and fermented foods too; kraut has the highest concentration of them all — but for therapeutic doses, when confronting a viral infection or any other type of oxidative stress, megadoses of L-ascorbic acid (i.e. synthetic), or better yet sodium ascorbate (ascorbic acid + sodium bicarb), can truly do wonders (especially if in liposonal form or intravenous; something that hospitals do all the time, for the appropriate cases).

          The major problem with this "vitamin C" here is not that it's synthetic, but that it's sweetened with saccharin. I'd rather buy ascorbic acid crystals (powder) from NOW on iherb (cheapest I've found), and make it liposomal with sunflower lecithin on a ultrasonic cleaner.

          • Ozymandias on 24/07/2023 - 14:56

            @wisdomtooth: From what I've read, therapeutic mega-doses have the least evidence of efficacy. See this Cochrane review as an example: "The failure of vitamin C supplementation to reduce the incidence of colds in the normal population indicates that routine mega-dose prophylaxis is not rationally justified for community use."
            (though they do note that for certain subgroups it may be helpful)
            It's these megadoses that supplements are made for, hence my saying that these are a bit of a waste.

            It sounds like we agree on the crux of my argument, which is that in a standard diet (or even a substandard diet) it's pretty easy to get enough Vitamin C for good immune function without resorting to tablets.

            • wisdomtooth on 24/07/2023 - 22:16

              @Ozymandias: We do. Sorta. Vit C tablets — or, better yet, powder, bc it has no fillers or sweeteners — are not for maintenance, but they're not completely useless. They're for early treatment (emphasis on early).

              The problem with megadosing is that people take 1000mg tablets once a day, and that's it. Even this 500mg is too much. Vit C is water soluble — otherwise we couldn't mix it in water — so the kidneys just excrete them right away. One is better off taking 200mg every hour or so than taking a big dose at once (the opposite of vitamin D, a hormone actually, that can be taken once a week even, instead of everyday — although that probably reduces bioavailability).

    • Gen Ice on 24/07/2023 - 22:22

      There are lots of health benefits of Vit C. It may not help with colds but definitely antioxidant effect and immune boosting can help you catching a one. You shouldn't get Infusions but no harm taking oral supplements as it is water soluble vitamin.

      • wisdomtooth on 25/07/2023 - 14:33

        You shouldn't get Infusions

        IVC? Why not? Hospitals use them to treat specific cases all the time.

        • Gen Ice on 25/07/2023 - 15:08

          I am saying without medical advice for the general population.

    This or Flu shot?

  • wisdomtooth on 24/07/2023 - 14:06

    Surgaless, but sweetened with saccharin?? No, thanks.

    Saccharin, a petroleum-based sugar substitute, is used in soft drinks, diet food and personal hygiene products such as lip balm and toothpaste. Saccharin was linked to cancer in clinical studies in the 1970s, but it continues to be used as a food and hygiene product additive, including for use in sweetening toothpaste. (Healthfully)

    Sweeteners and Additives
    Artificial sweeteners are often used instead of sucrose (table sugar) to sweeten foods and beverages. One of the most popular of them, saccharin, in 2000, was removed from the U.S. National Toxicology Program's Report on Carcinogens, where it had been listed since 1981 (suspected to cause urinary bladder cancer) as an anticipated human carcinogen. However, high doses of saccharin cause bladder stones comprised of sodium saccharin and bladder cancer in male rats. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) removed saccharin from the list of human carcinogens because saccharin did not cause bladder stones in humans, and the increased frequency of bladder cancer in the male rats was considered to be secondary to chronic bladder inflammation resulting from the stones.
    — Julia S. Kravchenko, in International Encyclopedia of Public Health (Second Edition), 2017

    In four studies of up to 30-month duration, sodium saccharin was carcinogenic in Charles River CD and Sprague–Dawley male rats as evidenced by a dose-related increased incidence of benign or malignant urinary bladder neoplasms at dietary concentrations greater than 1% (Tisdel et al., 1974; Arnold et al., 1980; Taylor et al., 1980; Schoenig et al., 1985).

      • wisdomtooth on 24/07/2023 - 22:24

        That's probably a good idea too; mostly all commercial chocolate is glorified corn fructose syrup with glyphosate laced hydrogenated GMO soybean oil (i.e. margarine), artificially coloured to look like cacao. And even true chocolate, made with true cacao, is unfortunately tainted with high levels of cadmium and lead.

      • ultramag69 on 24/07/2023 - 18:29

        Not always, some minerals and vitamins build up in the body and can have serious side effect s, B6 being one of the nastiest. Thankfully it isn't one that builds up in the body over time.

            • wisdomtooth on 24/07/2023 - 22:31

              @MuddyClear: Vitamin A is the only one, and if taken in synthetic form in excessive amounts. The cases of hypervitaminosis are fsw, far in between, and are mostly all children. There's a lot of fear mongering around vitamin C, but hypercalcaemia has only been observed at levels 4x greater than what health authorities deem toxic (i.e. 400 ng/ml = 1000 nmol/L), and still is, arguably, due to K2 deficiency, rather than excess D3.

            @[Deactivated]: B6 can cause nerve damage if you take excessive supplementation.

            • [Deactivated] on 24/07/2023 - 21:54

              @zoob: Does it matter which form of B6?

            • MuddyClear on 24/07/2023 - 22:37

              @zoob: You take the recommended dose for a general multivitamin, which is usually one a day, and it probably doesn’t even have B6. These are formulated so that they are unlikely to cause an issue.

              • [Deactivated] on 24/07/2023 - 22:41

                @MuddyClear: Most do tho

                • MuddyClear on 24/07/2023 - 22:47

                  @[Deactivated]: It’s non issue, if you stick to the recommended dosage. People here are referring to excessive dosage, which can cause problems.

                  You think a big multinational company will make a multi that causes nerve damage? People have been taking multi’s for decades now without any reports of nerve damage.
