3. Best vitamin C supplement for all-around immune support
New Chapter Fermented Activated C Complex
This is a great supplement for all-around immune support. Each capsule contains 250 milligrams of fermented vitamin C, which may be a bit easier to absorb than traditional forms.
Since New Chapter is all about high quality, plant-based nutrition, this supplement also contains elderberry, ginger, turmeric, astragalus, maca root, and chamomile. All those plants support immunity and help curb the negative effects of stress — which is great, since stress itself can mess with immune function!

4. Best non-acidic vitamin C supplement
Country Life Buffered Vitamin C
This higher-dose option has 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C per capsule. Unlike most other supplements here, this one is “buffered” — that is, combined with calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide to help neutralize the acidity of vitamin C and allow for higher doses without upsetting your stomach.
One reviewer points out that even while taking 2,000 milligrams per day, she’s not experiencing GI symptoms like she did with other vitamin C supplements.
One potential con: Some reviewers say these tablets are a bit large. So if you have trouble swallowing pills, pass on this one.
