This American Health Ester-C Effervescent product is categorized as an 'Other Combination' supplement, primarily featuring a high dose of Vitamin C. It provides 1026 mg of Vitamin C, which research suggests may support immune function and antioxidant processes. The formula also includes several B vitamins, with Vitamin B6 (10 mg), Vitamin B12 (25 mcg), Niacin (5 mg), and Pantothenic Acid (2.5 mg) present at dosages considered clinically relevant. However, other ingredients such as Vitamin A, Thiamine, and Riboflavin are noted as underdosed. With an N+ Score of 54 and a grade of F, this product falls into the below-average tier, indicating concerns with overall ingredient adequacy and formula completeness despite 100% label transparency.
