Rating breakdown

Vitamin C has strong evidence for immune function and antioxidation. PureWay-C shows higher bioavailability than standard ascorbic acid in studies.

Value for money 6.0/10

€0.45 per day is significantly more expensive than standard vitamin C, but PureWay-C technology justifies a premium.

Product Description

Sports Research uses PureWay-C — a patented vitamin C form where ascorbic acid is bound to lipid metabolites and citrus bioflavonoids. Studies show PureWay-C is absorbed faster and remains in the blood longer than conventional ascorbic acid.

What We Like

  • PureWay-C with demonstrated higher bioavailability
  • 1000 mg per single softgel
  • Softgel instead of tablet — easier on the stomach
  • Non-GMO Project Verified

What We’re Missing

  • Significantly more expensive than simple ascorbic acid (sufficient for most users)
  • 60 softgels = 2-month supply
  • Whether the absorption advantage is clinically meaningful remains debated

Usage Recommendation

1 softgel daily with a meal. For short-term illness, increase to 2 softgels.
