Progressive Vitamin C Complex 600mg, Multi-Source Vitamin C with Fruit Extracts, Supports Immune Function, 60-120 Vegetable Capsules

Progressive Vitamin C Complex Details

Progressive Vitamin C Complex isn't a basic ascorbic acid pill — it's a multi-source vitamin C formula providing 600 mg of vitamin C per capsule from 7 forms of vitamin C, plus 7 fruit extracts (Indian gooseberry/amla, acerola cherry, blueberry, cranberry, elderberry, papaya and mango) and antioxidant support nutrients. The whole-food approach delivers vitamin C with its naturally accompanying bioflavonoids and co-factors, the way you'd get it from eating actual fruit. It includes papaya and black pepper extract for absorption and digestive support, and is formulated to support immune function, wound healing, connective tissue formation, and healthy bones, teeth and gums, with antioxidant support. Available in 60 or 120 vegetarian capsules. Made in Canada.

Quick Facts

Who Progressive Vitamin C Complex Is For

• Adults wanting a comprehensive whole-food vitamin C rather than basic isolated ascorbic acid
• People with sensitive stomachs who don't tolerate plain ascorbic acid well
• Anyone who prefers whole-food supplements over synthetic isolated nutrients
• People wanting layered antioxidant and immune support beyond just vitamin C
• People focused on wound healing, connective tissue, and healthy bones, teeth and gums
• Those who want collagen synthesis support alongside antioxidant action

Who this product is NOT for: If you mostly want the lowest cost per gram of vitamin C, plain ascorbic acid costs less per dose. People with kidney stones (especially calcium-oxalate type) should consult their healthcare practitioner before high-dose vitamin C. People with hemochromatosis should be cautious — vitamin C enhances iron absorption. People with allergies to any of the fruit sources should check the label. If you want a single-ingredient vitamin C for combining with other specific supplements, a simpler product gives you more dosing control.

Vitamart's Take

Progressive Vitamin C Complex is a multi-source vitamin C supplement for immune and antioxidant support. Instead of plain ascorbic acid, it combines whole-food vitamin C sources, fruit extracts, and naturally occurring bioflavonoids — a useful feature if you prefer a whole-food approach to vitamin C. It’s also designed to be gentler on the stomach. It’s made in Canada.

How Progressive Vitamin C Complex Compares

Progressive vs Basic Ascorbic Acid

Plain ascorbic acid is simple, effective daily vitamin C at a low cost per gram. Progressive combines multiple vitamin C sources with seven fruit extracts and support nutrients — the whole-food premium approach at higher cost. For most adults wanting daily immune support, plain ascorbic acid is the sensible workhorse. Progressive is the upgrade for whole-food enthusiasts, sensitive stomachs, or people wanting broader nutritional context.

Progressive vs Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids

Vitamin C + bioflavonoid formulas pair ascorbic acid with a citrus bioflavonoid complex. Progressive includes hesperidin and rutin and adds fruit extracts and other antioxidants on top of seven vitamin C forms. Bioflavonoid formulas are the citrus-focused choice; Progressive is the broader multi-source option.

Progressive vs Liposomal Vitamin C

Liposomal vitamin C uses fat-based delivery technology for higher absorption — useful at high doses (2,000mg+) where standard vitamin C absorption plateaus. Progressive uses the whole-food approach for broader nutritional benefit but doesn't have the liposomal absorption advantage. Different priorities; choose liposomal for high-dose absorption, Progressive for whole-food nutritional context.

Progressive vs Camu Camu or Acerola Powder Alone

Pure camu camu or acerola cherry powder gives you concentrated whole-food vitamin C from a single source — typically more affordable per mg of vitamin C but with less daily-supplement convenience. Progressive includes multiple whole-food sources in one capsule with added support nutrients. Powders work well if you're already adding to smoothies; capsules are simpler for daily routine.

Why a Vitamin C Complex (Not Just Ascorbic Acid)

• Vitamin C in nature is never alone. Real fruit contains vitamin C alongside bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and dozens of other compounds that work together. Isolated ascorbic acid is essentially vitamin C extracted from this context.
• Bioflavonoids extend antioxidant action. Bioflavonoids (the colour compounds in citrus, berries, and other plants) work synergistically with vitamin C — they extend its antioxidant activity in the body and bring antioxidant activity of their own.
• Multiple C sources. Using seven forms of vitamin C — ascorbic acid plus calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and niacinamide ascorbates and ascorbyl palmitate — alongside whole-food fruit sources like acerola and amla gives broader bioavailability profiles since different forms absorb at slightly different rates and through different pathways.
• Seven fruit extracts. Amla (Indian gooseberry), acerola cherry, blueberry, cranberry, elderberry, papaya and mango bring their own polyphenols and antioxidants beyond just vitamin C content. Each fruit has its own profile of supporting compounds.
• Gentler on stomach. Whole-food vitamin C complexes are typically less acidic than pure ascorbic acid, making them gentler for people with sensitive stomachs or reflux. The buffering effect of the natural fruit matrix smooths the acidity.
• The support nutrients layer. Hesperidin, quercetin, grape seed, bilberry, resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid and rutin add antioxidant support, and papaya and black pepper extract are included for digestive support and absorption.

How To Use

Adults: Take 1 capsule with breakfast and 1 capsule with dinner, for a total of 2 capsules per day. Take 2 hours before or after other medications. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so splitting the dose between meals works better than one big dose.

Cautions: Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney stones or kidney disease, have hemochromatosis or iron overload, are scheduled for surgery, have allergies to any of the fruit sources, or take medication. May affect glucose meter readings; if you have diabetes and monitor blood sugar, be aware.
