Vitamin C Supplements

Six labels, 15 bottles shown here

The vitamin C collection lists 38 products in total, and 15 of them are shown here. Those 15 come from six brands: Nature Made supplies 6, GIGI Laboratories (the Ester-C line) 3, Bronson 2, NatureBell 2, with Horbäach and Swisse contributing one bottle each. All 15 share a single product type, Supplements. Tag counts show the overlap with the rest of the store: 13 of the 16 carry Health & Vitamins, 8 Immune Support, 8 Women’s Health, 5 Hair Skin and Nails and 5 Men’s Health.

Tablets outnumber capsules; gummies are a two-bottle corner

Format split across the 15 listings here: 8 tablets, 4 capsules, 2 gummies and 1 caplet. If swallowing pills is the sticking point, the chew-and-gummy end is small but real — Nature Made Zero Sugar Vitamin C Gummies 250 mg 100 Count at $9.3, the cheapest gummy on the shelf, and Nature Made Chewable Vitamin C 1000 mg Tablets 90 Ct at $11.61. On the capsule side, Liposomal Vitamin C 2000mg 240 Ct Capsules is the only liposomal format among the eight products linked here.

Vitamin C on its own, or vitamin C inside a blend

Across the 15 bottles listed here, 7 are vitamin C by itself and 8 pair it with something else — B vitamins, zinc, quercetin, cranberry or grape seed extract. In a blend the vitamin C figure is one line on the panel, not the headline on the front. Two from the blend group: Nature Made Stress B-Complex with Vitamin C & Zinc 75 Tablets at $14.97 and NatureBell Zinc Quercetin Vitamin C D3 240 Ct Capsules at $58.0. For the plain version, Bronson Vitamin C 1000mg Tablets 250 Ct Daily Wellness Routine is a 250-count tablet bottle at $32.0.

Reading the price against the count

Prices here run from $8.99 to $58.0, with a median of $17.27. By band, of the 16 listings here: 7 land under $15, 3 between $15 and $30, 3 between $30 and $50, and 3 at $50 or above. Bottle sizes range from 60 units to 300, and every listing states a count — check it before you set two prices side by side. The Ester-C tablets make the arithmetic plain: Ester-C 500 mg Vitamin C Tablets 90 Ct Daily Wellness Routine is $8.99, while Ester-C 500 mg Vitamin C Tablets 270 Ct 3 Pack Routine is $18.99 — three times the tablets for a bit over twice the money, same 500 mg label strength.

This shelf shares all 15 of its products with Health & Vitamins and 8 with Immune Support.
