Everything Vyvata knows about this product — the score, the evidence, the FAQ, and where else to find shopper reviews. No hidden data. Every vendor is scored on the same published rubric — no brand can pay for placement. Read the rubric →
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a well-characterized water-soluble antioxidant and essential cofactor for collagen hydroxylation, carnitine biosynthesis, catecholamine synthesis, and iron absorption. RDA sits at 75-90mg/day for adults; supplement doses of 250-1000mg are common, absorption saturates around 200mg per single dose, and the tolerable upper intake is 2000mg/day (higher doses cause osmotic diarrhea). MRI Performance Vitamin C is a straightforward single-ingredient capsule at 180 count from an established sports-nutrition brand. The product does not disclose the per-capsule dose in the title (likely 500mg or 1000mg) or specify whether it is plain ascorbic acid, buffered (calcium/sodium/magnesium ascorbate), or contains bioflavonoids. Plain high-dose ascorbic acid can cause GI upset in sensitive users — a buffered version (like Ortho Molecular's Buffered C, also in this batch) mitigates that but costs more. Standard tier: a real single-nutrient vitamin C from a real brand at a reasonable count, unremarkable on transparency but not problematic on safety.
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

The Vyvata score measures product integrity against a published rubric, not customer sentiment. Vyvata does not aggregate, republish, or license third-party reviews — the links below open search pages on their respective platforms.
Every VSF-related metafield surfaced verbatim. Nothing hidden. If you spot data that looks wrong, let us know.
Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
