Ultra Potent-C 500 90T by Metagenics – Buffered Vitamin C for Immune Support
Ultra Potent-C 500 provides 500 mg of vitamin C per tablet in a buffered formula designed with digestive comfort in mind. This Metagenics vitamin C supplement combines several vitamin C sources with citrus bioflavonoids and other supporting ingredients. The 90-tablet bottle offers a practical option for a practitioner-guided routine focused on everyday nutritional support. It is a tablet formula, not the similarly named chewable or powder.
Key Ultra Potent-C 500 Benefits
- Immune support: Supplies vitamin C to help maintain normal immune function as part of a balanced approach to daily wellness.*
- Antioxidant support: Vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress through its normal antioxidant activity.*
- Buffered vitamin C: Combines ascorbic acid with mineral ascorbates in a delivery system designed to help reduce the potential stomach upset associated with vitamin C intake.*
How Ultra Potent-C 500 Works
Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient used throughout the body, including by immune cells. Maintaining adequate intake supplies this nutrient for its normal functions rather than promising an immediate change in how you feel.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin C sources: The blend includes calcium ascorbate, niacinamide ascorbate, ascorbic acid and other ascorbates, providing the labeled vitamin C amount within the proprietary formulation. Human research with vitamin C-rich food in men with initially low vitamin C status supports a connection between vitamin C status and selected immune-cell functions. That food-based research does not establish a specific outcome for this finished formula.*
- Citrus bioflavonoids: The citrus bioflavonoid complex accompanies vitamin C and is standardized to a stated full-spectrum bioflavonoid content.
- Niacin and companion ingredients: Niacin, L-lysine, L-cysteine and L-glutathione are also present. Their individual amounts are listed below so you can review the entire formula with your practitioner.
This vegetarian vitamin C formula is also identified as non-GMO and gluten-free. Buffered delivery is a formulation feature, not a guarantee that every person will tolerate it identically. Check the full ingredient list when comparing it with other supplements.

- Adults discussing a daily vitamin C supplement with their healthcare practitioner.
- People seeking a tablet-based option for antioxidant and immune nutritional support.*

Frequently Asked Questions About Ultra Potent-C 500 90T
What are the benefits of Ultra Potent-C 500?
Ultra Potent-C 500 supplies vitamin C for normal immune function and antioxidant support. Each tablet contains 500 mg of vitamin C, along with niacin, citrus bioflavonoids and other ingredients in a buffered formula. The buffered delivery system is designed to help reduce potential stomach upset. Think of it as nutritional support that complements food and healthy habits, not as a promise to prevent illness or provide the same noticeable response for everyone.*
Who should consider Ultra Potent-C 500?
Adults looking for a buffered vitamin C tablet can discuss this formula with their healthcare practitioner. Its non-GMO, gluten-free and vegetarian characteristics may help when comparing options, but the complete ingredient list still matters. Review any other supplements you use, especially products supplying vitamin C or niacin. A practitioner can help determine whether an additional supplement fits your intake and needs; the product information does not establish a separate pediatric dosing plan.
Can Ultra Potent-C 500 cause side effects?
The buffered formula is designed with stomach comfort in mind, but individual tolerance can vary. Stop using it and contact your healthcare practitioner if you notice an unwanted reaction. Review the full ingredient list and your other supplements before starting, rather than assuming buffered means suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant, nursing, take medication or have a health condition, ask your practitioner to assess your situation. Keep the product out of the reach of children.
How does Ultra Potent-C 500 fit into an overall wellness routine?
Use it as one part of a routine that also includes varied food, adequate rest and other healthy habits. The manufacturer recommends one tablet three times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. The label defines a serving as one tablet; that is different from the full suggested daily schedule. Follow individualized guidance instead of adding extra tablets on your own, and periodically review whether your supplement routine still matches your nutritional needs.
