Why is Vitamina C classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is deemed ultra‑processed because the tablet is manufactured industrially and includes common excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide, which act as binders, flow agents, and anti‑caking agents.

Is this vitamin C supplement suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The product is formulated with pure ascorbic acid and plant‑based fillers, contains no animal‑derived ingredients, added sugars, or gluten, making it compatible with vegan, keto, halal and gluten‑free dietary regimes.

What is the optimal way to store this product once opened to maintain its potency?

Keep the tablets in the original tightly sealed container, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture; this preserves the stability of vitamin C and prevents degradation.

Product Insights

Kruger’s Vitamina C is an 84 g dietary supplement marketed in Romania, providing a concentrated dose of vitamin C to support immune health. Classified under pnns_groups "Dietary supplements", it does not receive a Nutri‑Score because the label applies to foods, and it falls under NOVA 4, indicating an ultra‑processed product that contains typical excipients such as binders and anti‑caking agents. While it offers a convenient source of ascorbic acid for those with higher needs, high doses can cause stomach irritation and the product lacks the broader nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals found in whole foods.

Comparative Analysis

Compared with typical vitamin C foods, this supplement delivers a much higher, concentrated dose of ascorbic acid without the sugars and calories of whole fruit sources.
