Other Ingredients (3)
Rice FlourFiller
Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination (FDA and Consumer Reports). Rice accumulates arsenic from soil at higher rates than other grains. Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
Rice HullsAnti-caking
Ground outer husk of rice grains used as a plant-based flow and anti-caking agent
Capsule ShellCapsule
Generic capsule shell where the label does not specify the material. Common materials are hypromellose (HPMC) for vegetarian capsules and gelatin for traditional capsules — both are GRAS-listed and safe. Fish gelatin and pullulan variants also exist.
How to Take It
Take it anytime
Plain ascorbic acid is acidic — high doses can bite on an empty stomach. Take it with food if that happens, and split doses above ~500 mg.
On the label
As a dietary supplement, take one veggie capsule per day with water.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
