Vitamin C + Zinc tablets from Vitabay are enriched with 1000 mg vitamin C and 10 mg zinc.
The tablets are made exclusively from natural ingredients and are vegan.
They are manufactured in Germany and are subject to various quality controls.
The vitamin C it contains not only strengthens the immune system, but is also known as a valuable antioxidant. This means that it offers protection against “free radicals”, which lead to “oxidative stress” in the body in excessive concentrations. This is one of the causes of diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc.) and is also responsible for the ageing process of the skin. The trace element zinc is a component of numerous enzymes and proteins. It is therefore important for elementary reactions in the body (e.g. cell growth, wound healing, metabolic processes, immune system, etc.). In summary, Vitabay ‘s vitamin C + zinc tablets are a suitable product to support your own health.

For the sake of the environment, a glass jar for storing the tablets would have been desirable, although it should be borne in mind that this also involves additional costs for the consumer.
On a positive note, the product was manufactured in Germany.
The label on the tin states that one vitamin tablet contains 1000 mg vitamin C, 10 mg magnesium and 42 mg citrus biovlavonoids .
The contained quantity of 200 tablets is therefore sufficient for almost 7 months and weighs 326g.

The recommended dose on the label is one tablet per day. This dose should not be exceeded. It should also be taken with plenty of liquid.

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Dosage | High dosage of vitamin C (1000mg per tablet) | 100 points |
| Ingredients | Bioflavonoids, zinc, vegan | 100 points |
| Ingestion | With sufficient liquid, no discomfort, can be divided into two halves | 100 points |
| Quality | No preservatives, GMO- and gluten-free, purity and quality controls during production | 100 points |
| Offer | Only one dose size (200 tablets) available | 80 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
According to the manufacturer, Vitabay ‘s vitamin C + zinc tablets should be taken with sufficient liquid . This makes it easy to take, even if the tablets appear relatively large at first glance. However, they can be divided into two smaller halves if required.
The tablets are characterized by a high dosage of vitamin C (1000 mg per tablet) and citrus bioflavonoids (42 mg per tablet), which strengthen the capillaries and have an antioxidant effect. The zinc contained (10 mg) is an elementary trace element that the body cannot produce itself, but which is important for a number of important bodily reactions.
Another positive aspect is that the product is not only free from preservatives, but also free from genetic engineering and gluten.
The quality is also characterized by the fact that the tablets are free from preservatives , genetic engineering and gluten and undergo various purity and quality controls during production.
Unfortunately, the vitamin C + zinc tablets are only available in one pack size (200 tablets).
In conclusion, it can be said that Vitabay ‘s vitamin C + zinc tablets were able to maintain their very good overall impression even after the test.
