Common questions

Is Option+ Vitamin C healthy?

Option+ Vitamin C scores 85/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Option+ Vitamin C?

Option+ Vitamin C lists 3 ingredients, starting with Ascorbic Acid, Microcrystalline Cellulose and Magnesium Stearate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Option+ Vitamin C contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Option+ Vitamin C’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Option+ Vitamin C?

Option+ Vitamin C has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Option+ Vitamin C compare to other vitamins?

At 85/100 Option+ Vitamin C sits in our top band, among the better vitamins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in vitamins is NOW Foods Extra Strength Astaxanthin 10 mg at 97/100.
