Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the human body and therefore needs to be obtained from the diet.
Fruit and vegetables should remain the primary dietary sources of vitamin C, with supplements used to complement rather than replace a varied and balanced diet.
Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function, but this does not mean that a vitamin C supplement prevents or treats colds, influenza or other infections.
Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums and teeth. These are nutritional maintenance claims and should not be interpreted as claims to treat skin, joint, dental or connective-tissue conditions.
Vitamin C increases iron absorption. This may be useful to consider when taking an oral iron supplement, although people receiving treatment for iron deficiency should follow the advice provided by their healthcare professional.
High supplemental intakes of vitamin C can cause gastrointestinal effects such as abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea in some people.
If you have kidney disease, a history of certain kidney stones, an iron-storage disorder or another significant medical condition, discuss regular high-dose vitamin C supplementation with your pharmacist or doctor.
Not Suitable For
Seek professional advice before use if:
- You have kidney disease
- You have a history of kidney stones
- You have an iron-storage disorder such as haemochromatosis
- You are taking regular medication
- You have an underlying medical condition
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding and are unsure about your supplement requirements
- You are already taking another high-strength vitamin C supplement
- You have an allergy or sensitivity to any ingredient
How to Use
Follow the recommended daily intake stated on the current Sona packaging or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Chew the tablet before swallowing.

FAQs
1. What is Sona C500 Chewable 90 Tablets?
Sona C500 Chewable is an orange-flavoured vitamin C food supplement supplied in an easy-to-take chewable tablet. Each tablet provides 500mg of vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal collagen formation and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Sona currently lists C500 Chewable within its vitamin range.
2. How much vitamin C is in Sona C500 Chewable?
Each tablet provides 500mg of vitamin C, equivalent to 625% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value of 80mg for adults. The higher percentage does not mean that more than the recommended intake should be taken. Always follow the dosage directions on the current Sona packaging and consider vitamin C supplied by other supplements.
3. Does Sona C500 Chewable support the immune system?
Yes. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. This is an authorised EU health claim. It describes vitamin C's established nutritional role in maintaining normal immune function and should not be interpreted as meaning that Sona C500 prevents or treats colds, influenza or other infections.
4. Can Sona C500 help with tiredness and fatigue?
Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. These are authorised nutritional health claims. Persistent or unexplained tiredness can have many causes, however, and should be discussed with a healthcare professional rather than relying solely on a vitamin supplement.
5. Does vitamin C support normal collagen formation?
Yes. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, teeth, gums and blood vessels. This describes vitamin C's normal nutritional role and does not mean that a vitamin C supplement is intended to treat skin disorders, arthritis, dental disease or other medical conditions.
6. Does Sona C500 contain antioxidants?
Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This is an authorised EU health claim and is the appropriate way to describe vitamin C's antioxidant role. The product should not be promoted as preventing diseases associated with oxidative damage.
7. Does vitamin C help with iron absorption?
Yes. Vitamin C increases iron absorption. This is an authorised EU health claim. People taking an oral iron supplement may therefore see vitamin C included in some iron formulations. However, anyone being treated for diagnosed iron deficiency or anaemia should follow the specific treatment and dosage advice provided by their healthcare professional.
8. Why choose a chewable vitamin C tablet?
A chewable supplement can be particularly convenient for people who dislike swallowing standard tablets or capsules. Sona C500 Chewable combines this format with an orange flavour and provides 500mg vitamin C per tablet. The tablet should be taken according to the manufacturer's current directions rather than treated like a confectionery product.
9. Can I take Sona C500 with a multivitamin?
Potentially, but check the multivitamin label first because most comprehensive multivitamins already contain vitamin C. Combining products is not always necessary. Your pharmacist can help you review your total supplemental intake if you regularly take a multivitamin alongside separate vitamin C or other individual nutrients.
10. Can I take vitamin C every day?
Vitamin C supplements can be taken according to their labelled directions, but more is not automatically better. Vitamin C is also widely available from foods, particularly fruit and vegetables. High supplemental intakes can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in some people. People with kidney disease, kidney stone concerns or iron-storage disorders should seek professional advice before regular high-dose supplementation.
11. Is Sona an Irish vitamin brand?
Yes. Sona Nutrition is an Irish supplement company founded in 1984. Sona states that it remains family-run, produces its range from its facility in Dublin and is GMP licensed by the HPRA. This makes Sona a long-established Irish brand across vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements.
