I am confused, the most helpful review from PTo says we should get C Complex, but this is just a basic C. Then why He or she recommends this?

This product contains 'ascorbic acid', a synthesized, synthetic & incomplete attempt at Vitamin-C. Synthetic vitamins such as ascorbic acid act more like drugs in the body rather than whole food nutrients with all the available cofactors. Taking any synthetic vitamin can cause imbalances in the body and should be avoided.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know about Vit C complex. I'm switching to it immediately!!

It is supposed to be better. However, when I tried B-12 alone, I got a headache and a lousy feeling in my stomach. I switched back to using a b-complex for my energy needs. For really good Energy, B-12 injections from your doctor would work best ... albeit ... much more expensive.

I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula. It probably does work and I'm sure it had calcium in it because they were much harder to break in half for out 15 LB doxies. (They get 1/2 a tab with each meal -2 times a day). The one question to ask maybe would be: ..What type of calcium is it? My Dr has told "me" to get calcium "citrate" as it is easier to absorb. Ask your Vet and check the ingredients. I will say we LIKE Pet Tabs and the were originally recommended by our Vet. Buying them on Amazon is a cost effective way to get them. Especially true if you are a Prime member!

I purchased the TCJC from various manufacturers after reading many articles and reviews on the benefits of tart cherrys. Country Spoon and 100%Tart Montmorency Cherry Concentrate are in my opinion the best 2. Thickest and best benefit in relieving pain from joint issues. Using the concentrates are easier than eating a ton of real cherries. I did research FDA warnings to a particular companies about using incorrect wording on their website. It was not directed towards the benefits of Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate in general. " Here is a link :http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2012/ucm307676.htm... And that was in 2012. There is another article from 2006. I think for $15.00 for a 160z bottle from Amazon or local vitamin store or vitaminshoppe online, you can test it for yourself. There are many many comments posted on Amazon and other places about whether they benefited from drinking TCJC. I can tell you it did help me. What has helped prob the most though is taking this and doing stretches on the areas I have problems with. ie the space between my thumb and forefinger and hand in general. Stretching helped tremendously while taking the cherry juice. I will not stop doing either one. Why tamper with good results. For some good stretching go to :http://www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com. Gary's instructions have helped me tremendously ! Can I ask why it is important as to which orchard these cherries were grown in ?

Not really sure myself; the C2 appears to have Microsoft Office while the other does not.However, the MSRP of the C1 also appears to be more expensive. I saw a warranty listed under its description, maybe this is the reason for the price discrepancy?

Tell you what, where I come from money doesn't exist. At least not in USD. So you save money and save me from having to take something useless. 1000 wood, 1000 metal fragments, and 2 research kits and you have a deal.

I'm afraid that I, too, fall into the group of those who can't give a good answer to this rather simple question. My reason is that I returned it very soon after I got it because it failed my KISS test ("Keep It Simple, Stupid"). In other words the WCI unit did so many other things, above and beyond the basic cyclometer functions that were all I wanted, that I found it just too, too complex and have been "doing without" ever since...

I guess I never paid any attention. I take Vitamin C every day. My eye doctor suggested these tabs after referring with another eye doctor. I take 4 per day. 2 in the A.M. and 2 before I go to bed. I trust my doctor so I have not questioned him. At least I do not think my eyes have changed much and stayed the same. So I will be taking this Bausch+Lomb PreserVision AREDS rest of my life as long as I can afford it. My eyesite is important to me specially now at 72. Hope you get the answers you are looking for. Take care, Margaret

You will get just that. Excellent product in itself but "forte" is different. The formula has less D, Calcium and phosphorus and more MCHS. You can read the difference on metagenics website. My physician wanted me on the higher MCHC. I am 62 years old. Might make the difference.

Classic is better. And use the DVD as well as the big chart! It is just a matter of slowly building up your body with increasing time slots. Your body will enjoy the feeling of well-ness motions!From Alan in Hawaii

I have read that information also and when I presented this to my GI Doc with his knowledge of my long-standing problems with IBS-C, he thought it was fine for me to use indefinitely. He actually said the thinking on use of some laxatives over time is changing, particularly for those who have not found other alternatives that work for them, so that this would be acceptable in that situation. I have used it for a number of years without a problem or need to increase the dose. It is best to try other things like drinking more water, using more fiber first, but for some, those measures do not work.

Thanks very much for this detailed response. It has helped me and will help others to judge what to buy based on the potencies as you have explained them.

It was not true in the case that I witnessed as far as relief for painful joints is concerned. My father tried a first and second month's worth with no noticeable improvement to joint pain. I got him next some Source Naturals Hyaluronic Joint Complex based on another shoppers experience. Here was the case where it was felt this ingredient was helpful by way of making movement easier. This shopper not want to continue the costly InstaFlex (adv. radio) that contains hyaluronic acid and this product is cheaper. You will be able to locate the review that I am referring to if you search on InstaFlex. So we'll see if my pop notices any improvement; I am not hopeful that he will.

Yes go for C1-3/4! My 10 years' old nephew loves it. I did research and found this one the best quality in the price range.

You are right. The bigger quanties cost .027 per unit and the 350 ct. is .014 per unit. I don't know why. I would purchase 7 of the smaller ct.
