SUSTAINED RELEASE C-ASCORBS
Nature's Plus SUSTAINED RELEASE C-ASCORBS is classified as a Joint & Bone supplement, earning an N+ Score of 64 and a 'D' grade. This product features 8 ingredients with complete label transparency, and notably, several key ingredients are present at clinically studied doses. These include Vitamin C (4000mg), Calcium (212mg), Magnesium (108mg), and Zinc (10mg), which research suggests may support various physiological functions. However, Manganese (0.4mg) and Potassium (240mg) are underdosed compared to typical recommendations. The ingredient adequacy stands at 50%, with formula completeness at 25%. This product may be suitable for individuals seeking high doses of Vitamin C and other essential minerals in a sustained-release format, potentially supporting general wellness or specific mineral needs, though its direct impact on joint and bone health beyond these minerals should be considered within the context of the underdosed components.
