Thorne Vitamin C Powder is a pure ascorbic acid supplement in powdered form, designed for flexible, daily vitamin C intake.

Why we love it

Thorne Vitamin C Powder is a pure ascorbic acid supplement in powdered form, designed for flexible, daily vitamin C intake. Ascorbic acid is the biologically active form of vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant that plays a central role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and the neutralisation of free radicals.

Good to know

  • A food supplement. Do not take more than the dose on the label.
  • Not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
  • Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care.
  • Keep out of the reach of young children.
How to use

Mix a quarter teaspoon into water or juice and drink promptly. Taking it with food may reduce the chance of gastric discomfort, particularly at higher doses. Follow the dosage guidance on the packaging if you are adjusting the amount.

More about it

Thorne Vitamin C Powder is a pure ascorbic acid supplement in powdered form, designed for flexible, daily vitamin C intake. Ascorbic acid is the biologically active form of vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant that plays a central role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and the neutralisation of free radicals. It also supports the absorption of non-haem iron, making it a useful companion for those managing low ferritin levels.

The powder format suits people who prefer to avoid capsules, need to adjust their dose incrementally, or want to add vitamin C to a broader morning routine - mixing it into water, juice, or a smoothie takes seconds. It is a practical option for those recovering from illness, under sustained physical or psychological stress (both of which deplete circulating ascorbic acid), or simply seeking a reliable daily top-up when dietary intake is inconsistent.

Thorne is a brand with a long-standing reputation for rigorous manufacturing standards and minimal excipients. This product contains a single active ingredient - ascorbic acid - with no fillers, binders, or flavourings listed, which makes it straightforward to use and easy to stack with other supplements without introducing unnecessary additives. For those whose requirements are confirmed by a blood panel, the dose can be titrated precisely, which a fixed-capsule format does not allow.

Your questions

How does powder compare to a vitamin C capsule?

The active ingredient — ascorbic acid — is the same. The powder simply allows you to adjust your dose more precisely and avoids the binders or fillers sometimes present in capsule forms. It also dissolves easily into any drink.

Can high doses of vitamin C cause any side effects?

Ascorbic acid is generally well tolerated, but doses above bowel tolerance can cause loose stools or gastric discomfort. Starting with a modest amount and increasing gradually helps identify your personal threshold. Those with a history of kidney stones should consult a doctor before supplementing at higher doses.

Is this suitable to take alongside an iron supplement?

Vitamin C is commonly taken alongside non-haem iron because ascorbic acid is studied for its role in improving iron absorption. Taking both at the same time is a reasonable approach, but check with your doctor if you are on a prescribed iron therapy.

How long until I notice a difference?

For general immune and antioxidant support, consistent daily intake over several weeks is typically recommended. If you are supplementing to address a confirmed deficiency, a follow-up blood test after 8–12 weeks is the most reliable way to assess change.

Who might not be suitable for this product?

People with a history of kidney stones, haemochromatosis, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency should seek medical advice before taking high-dose vitamin C. Check the packaging for allergen information and consult your GP if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.

My daily staple

6 months ago

Been stirring a scoop into my morning orange juice for about three months now. Hard to pinpoint exactly what changed but my energy feels steadier and I haven't had my usual winter cold. Simple, unflavoured, does what it says.

Clean ingredient list

6 months ago

Just ascorbic acid, nothing else. That's exactly what I wanted. Mix it into water before my run and it dissolves quickly with no residue. Happy customer.

I was low on ferritin and my GP suggested pairing vitamin C with my iron supplement. Started using this alongside it and my last blood test showed a proper improvement. The powder format makes it easy to take with food.

Good product, pricey for what it is

6 months ago

No complaints about the quality — dissolves well, no weird taste, and the tub is a decent size. My only gripe is that pure ascorbic acid powder is a commodity ingredient and £24.99 feels steep compared to what you can get from a supermarket brand. Still, the minimal excipients justify it for me, just barely.

Exactly what I needed post-illness

7 months ago

Picked this up after a nasty bout of flu left me feeling depleted for weeks. Added it to my smoothie every morning and genuinely felt I was bouncing back faster than usual. Can't prove causation but I'll keep using it.

NB

7 months ago

Swapped from capsules because I wanted to adjust the dose depending on how I'm feeling — higher when stressed or travelling, lower on normal days. The powder format is perfect for that.
