All of the rants about this product getting their C from China... so do 80 to 90% of vitamin companies. The rest are NOT affordable! When the vitamin is proven to be good quality and is affordable while the rest are so incredibly (horrifically) over priced the choice should not be made to neglect your health over location.
And for those who claim stupidly that bad things come from China... so do a LOT of good things millions in the U.S. use every day. Just because something comes from the U.S. does NOT mean it can be trusted. Drug companies from the U.S. get sued as well for making bad things. My grandma died due to a mistake from a U.S. drug company.
My point is if Vitamins Americans take should only come from the U.S. then these supposed "dream" companies should make them more affordable for us. Especially in the terrible economic times we are in.
Good vitamins are about health not jobs. Until the other vitamin companies start making things affordable the people of this country will have to buy our better health from anywhere we can. Please stop trying to scare people into bad health. This is about the quality of a vitamin, not political or job rants.

It's vitamin C, 1000 mg, just as advertised. The pill is a bit large due to the amount contained and may be hard to swallow whole, but you can crush, chew or split it without damaging the vitamin contained.
Now, since vitamin C is an acid, it may cause heartburn when taking this much at one time. That's not particular to this brand.
I also tried the Spring Valley natural C 1000mg, and it's so concentrated that it leaves a burn on your tongue or in your stomach (depending if you chew or swallow it), for hours or even days. Not this one - it does taste sour, but leaves no burns. Yay.
Other than that, the container has an easy-open lid which snaps when closed. Nice touch.
About the country of origin - this is vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. It's not meat or other perishable and doesn't require a lot of processing. I believe even Chinese farmers would have a pretty good chance of getting this one right...

1000mg's maybe a lot. But being out in the elements in the winter, need some type of defense. Any little bit helps...

I have read that 80% of vitamins sold in the US are made in China. I guess from reading above Nature Made falls into this group. Clue? If it doesn't say where it is made, you can be sure it is not made in the US. China has a bad record, Heparin, for example, in controlling quality in drugs. Why is the US citizen not afforded this information. It should be the law that this be on the label. Why isn't it? Because people would not buy it, of course. We are sheep.
vitamin C 5 out of 5
This product has been very helpful to me!!! I just feel bad that the vitamin is hard to swallow. I wish it was coated. I am not sure if Vit C is coated. I'll try next time I buy it.
