AKSES SWISS Premium Vitamin C Chew Supplement | Ester-C Patented Formula | Prolonged Action | Tropical Taste | 180 Tablets | 1 Tablet a Day | ½ Year Supply

Pretty good value, well packaged with dark plastic to keep them fresh. I found the flavour subtle and it's grown on me, the more I have had. Overall pleased and the price has reduced significantly so quite economical to purchase.

This is an incredibly elaborate and, frankly, expensive approach to getting a lot of vitamin C into your body. The branding, complete with additional pamphlet, is very classy with a scientific, professional-sportsperson style to it, but really this is just masking what the product really is. It’s a crunchable capsule that’s effectively a sugar lump, except it’s xylitol rather than sugar and vitamin C is infused. But the principle is the same.The capsules are very dusty, to the extent that the first time you open the bottle a cloud of dust comes out. There’s a crumbliness to the capsules but for the most part they are just like crunching smaller vitamin tablets from other brands.The flavour is not quite to my taste. It’s a “tropical taste” according to the label, and the flavouring according to the ingredients list is grapefruit and pineapple. As this suggests, this results in quite a sour, tart taste, that isn’t mellowed by any milder citrus. If the flavour were any stronger, it would be one of those tart tastes that makes your eyes squint while you’re eating it. It’s punchy, but not exactly pleasant.Each capsule is 313% of the Nutrient Reference Value of vitamin C. I am not medically qualified so this is not an official statement, but my man-in-the-street understanding is that any vitamin C your body doesn’t need just gets flushed through your system quite quickly, and out the other end. So unless your body is capable or needs to absorb a lot of vitamin C very quickly, you are probably paying for extra vitamin C which is just getting flushed away without being used.The branding, packaging, and most importantly the price on this one are completely over the top, and while there’s nothing wrong with the capsules (apart from subjectively the flavour), there’s really no reason to recommend these over brands that offer the same vitamin C quantities in a form that’s a fraction of the price.

It’s a simple product to use, just chew and swallow. It’s more of a chalky type texture, and the pineapple flavour is only very subtle, with a bit of an odd artificial twang. It’s not that appealing but it’s not unpleasant either and is convenient if you prefer to chew supplements rather than swallow pills or capsules.I find it useful because I take iron an an empty stomach and require a Vitamin C that can be taken without food and that doesn’t hurt my stomach. This suits me well.Benefits:* Easy to consume, just chew it* One bottle lasts 6 months so you don’t have to keep remembering to purchase* Cost effective (£3.67/month)* Ester-C is easy on the stomachDownsides:* Not sure about the various fillers and odd ingredients included in this product* If you need more than 250mg / day (1 of the chewable tablets) it could be less cost effectiveI wouldn’t be in a tremendous hurry to purchase these again, as I’ve used other comparable chewable Vitamin C products that are a bit tastier. That said, they seem to do the job and no major complaints.

A lot of chewable vitamin C tablets taste yummy and fruity like old-fashioned refresher or swizzle sweets from your childhood. These do not. They have no fizz and instead taste a bit bitter and leave a slightly puckered feel in the mouth – which may or may not be the claimed grapefruit and pineapple taste. i am going to wash that taste out now with a cup of tea as the bitterness lingers.Many Vitamin C supplements are 1000mg a day, and dosage at this high level is what is linked in studies to reductions in illness. These are relatively low dose – only 250mg per tablet - and contain xylitol so would have a mildly laxative effect if you took several. You can find quite yummy ones online that taste of rosehip and have twice the dose and only cost 5p a tablet. These cost 13p a tablet. I would not recommend them.

Okay, well, in an attempt towards healthiness, I decided to have a crack at these chewable vitamin C supplements and yuck.I can only liken the taste to chewing unflavoured, standard-issue paracetamol, with a tiny hint of sweetness in the aftertaste which is pretty rapidly succeeded by a bitterness that could only be removed with the judicious application of a chocolate-chip muffin. They're pretty expensive for what they are and, although I wanted the extra vitamin C, there must be a better, tastier, cheaper way.I'm off now, in search of an orange.

Not a chewy thing as I expected but instead a little tablet that you must crunch and munch on before you swallow it rather like those sherbet sweets with the fizz only without the fizz.Take 1 a day.There are 180 days supplyThe sweetener is xylitolFlavouring is Grapefruit and pinespple though I cant say I would have guessedThe smell is unusual and a bit bitter though the tablets arent.They are small and white and come in a screw top jar.There is a little packet of dessicant to stop them getting damp.There is no age guide but it does say keep out of reach of children so I imagine Adult only.I did like that you dont have to swallow the tablet whole.Gluten FreeGMO FreeSugar freeDont store above 25 degrees C
