Cenovis Vitamin C
29 reviews
Cenovis vitamin C poison – Disgusting that consumers are in belief of label discription. Please don't use this product Cenovis is misleading you , poison aspartame along with other poison. I believe a class action should be taken , all those who have had serious reaction because the labels didn't disclose the poison used . Show details
Cenovis Vitamin C – This tastes like sugar in a tablet. It does not mention any artificial sweetners but it doesnt mention that it doesnt contain them. Easy way to get out of the fact it has them added. Do not buy this brand. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY Show details
Ingredients not listed – I am so disappointed to discover that this product contains artificial sweeteners. Who needs poison like that? It only spikes insulin levels and is in general harmful. Show details
Carcinogenic Ingredient – I bought this from Chemist Warehouse and noted afterward that their website description contained a WARNING: Contains Saccharine. Saccharine is not just an artificial sweetener but one linked with cancer. This is not listed in the ingredients on the packaging. I attempted to contact Cenovis not once but twice to have them deny or confirm that… Read more
this ingredient was in the formulation and they didn't even have the courtesy to respond to me. So given they did not take the opportunity to respond I'd take this as assent.
Tastes good but not good for you! – Fails to list artificial colours and sweeteners added! Sure they taste good but this is really a poor excuse of a company if they think they can throw around the word natural and do this! Show details
make my face red – I bring back to the chemist werhouse castle hill towers because this make my face like orange colour change for other brands I happy with the result never again buy from cenovis brand Show details
SCAM PRODUCT !! – Pretends to be natural, but it contains many HIDDEN INGREDIENTS! This is NOT a legal product because it does NOT list its full ingredients. Very disappointing that the TGA allows this to happen! Show details
Ingredients not revealed – I had to ring Cenovis to get truth about the artificial sweeteners, colours etc. They did return calls and give answers - but why include this garbage in a 'health' product. Show details
dont trust this brand – No aritficial colors flacours or preservatives? They must have found a loophole to be able to sell us this chemical garbage. Trying to make a quick buck on health concious people will hopefully drive them out of business. We are not the brain dead consumers that shop at mackers every day. I strongly advise anyone who reads this to never buy another cenovis product or anything that's associated with them Show details
Bad reaction to product then I found out the ingredients - explains why – I had an inflammatory reaction, apparently to these tablets, which caused me a lot of grief until I tracked down the cause. I called them and they told me it contains: Color: Sunset Yellow FCF, Aluminium Lake Sweetener: Sorbitol, Sodium Cyclamate, Saccharine Sodium. None of this was mentioned on the label! How is this allowed? I will be wary of… Read more
buying Cenovis and/or Nature's Own (seem to be the same outfit they have the same phone number) products in future.
No complete list of ingredients – I had an allergic reaction to these tablets due to artificial color used in them. Time they updated their label to include all ingredients. I will never buy them again Show details
My experience with this product – I have used the 500mg version of this product for years and have found it effective in preventing full onset and /or speeding recovery of a cold or similar affliction. to achieve this outcome, I typically use at elevated dosages of 8-12 tablets spread over the course of a day for several days.

Contains artificial sweetener HORRIBLE! – Taking vitamin C, we are trying to look after our health. Artificial sweeteners are absolutely horrible and cause all sorts of diseases! Should be clearly marked on label especially because people give these to their kids. Only noticed because I started getting headaches. Do not buy!!!!! Show details

I finished 2 bottles of this products – I've been taking vitamin C for years. This product is cheap and easy to take. It is bit sweet for me but I can deal with. Will buy this product again after finishing my current one. Show details
Laxative due to artificial sweetener – I got really bad diarrhoea the first time I tried those. And I was edgy and could not concentratr. This stuff is poison..Stay away! And i've lost all trust in that brand. Show details
Misleading marketing – Misleading marketing in that there's no disclosure of the artificial sweetner. I'm surprised this was able to be sold without disclosing that. I'm not even sure what to do with these now! Show details
Has sweetener – You should make it clear that there is sweetener added. I took that the sugarless meant it was not sweet and looking at the label it lists the only ingredient as ascorbic acid. Show details
Sad. Saccharin Sodium. Terrible dissapointed – Very sad that this product is tricking the consumers on to think that it is a healthy option with the Sugarless label I've been taking this product to boost my immune system. I can't have sugar which is contributing to the out of balance my body has been experiencing. It tastes sweet, its Orange colour and they say no artificial flavours or… Read more
preservatives? What is in it then?
Shame on then misleading the consumers
Compromising healthy diet, waste of money
Wasted money – As others have written, very deceptive marketing from a well known and trusted brand. If you are adding artificial sweeteners then tell people so the don't waste there money on this crap, what a waste of $19.00. Hope the sewerage works appreciate them. The simple fact is I am not allowed sugar or artificial sweeteners in my diet. Thanks for being… Read more
part of the problem not the solution. PS this is the last Cenovis product I ever buy if your to ashamed to list the full ingredients on the label then don't sell it.
Deceptive marketing ,tastes terrible – They have the gawl to boldly claim on the label this tablet is sugarless but it tastes so sickly sweet because of added artificial sweeteners . Come on cenovis change this product it's terrible
Throw them in the bin – Just 1 one...and the disgusting metal after taste was enough to go and search the contents...low and behold...saccharin...whatever health the vitamin C is giving is greatly counteracted by this dangerous ingredient. A friend who had MS symptoms tried kicking her artificially sweetened drink habit (including saccharin)...3 months later, all signs… Read more
of MS are gone. Throw them in the bin immediately and buy something where the manufacturer actually discloses the contents. I didnt buy them...a friend at work offered me a couple and I just warned him.
I agree with the Deceptive Marketing review. Its offensive that a company related to 'health' would even envisage including something like this...and hidden too! Take business elsewhere...just make sure you read the label...no disclosure...no buy.
Deceptive and unacceptable – I don't know why Cenovis thinks it's okay in this day and age to supply a supplement without stating ALL of the ingredients. I come from the US and there, by law, every little scintilla of an ingredient has to be listed. What gives it the orange flavor? What flavouring and colourings are in it? It's a mystery. I happen to be intolerant of Sunset… Read more
Yellow (aka Orange Yellow S aka FD&C Yellow 6 aka 110), which gives me diarrhoea. These tablets give me diarrhoea too, so they probably contain the same colouring. Shame on Cenovis!

Deceptive marketing – The inclusion of saccharin sodium, an artificial sweetener, in this product makes it unhealthy to consume and it is not listed on the front of the container where it has what ingredients it contains, but is hidden on the back in small print in the directions for use. It also claims no artificial additives/preservatives etc. Very disappointing. Will not purchase again
Sugarless but contains saccharin??? – I've been taking these for several months under the assumption that it was sugarless until I find on the back in fine print that it contains saccharin. Very deceptive packaging - disappointed.
Warning: Contains Saccharin – When something says it contains no gluten, lactose, sugar or artificial flavours, and yet it tastes sweet, then you know there is something wrong. I hate the way that they hide the fact it contains saccharin in the "fine print", with no clear ingredient list. Very annoying Cenovis.
Good – This is a fantastic, economic product which works effectively in boosting your immune system. The orange flavouring makes it taste great- as though you're eating a lolly. You can purchase these at your local supermarket or chemist for a reasonable price. I've often seen them on special at the chemists so always keep a look out- it's definitely… Read more
worth the savings. The jar is easy to open, so there's no child safety factor about it. Make sure you keep them in a high place, because i'm sure an overdose on these wouldn't be too good for kids.
OK – Overall, I'd recommend this as a cheap, effective solution for clearing away an oncoming cold and boosting the immune system. There are better, more natural products out there, though. Does what you would expect from a Vitamin C tablet in the sense that if you're feeling the oncoming of a cold, this product actually works and the cold should… Read more
disappear pretty quickly (so long as you take the tablet early enough). It's very cheap, as most Cenovis products are. I don't like that it contains sodium saccharin, which has been proven to be dangerous over time. It's the main reason I only bought this product once, and have now switched to other, more natural-based products.
Good – This product is great, it's got that orange lolly taste and if your purchase the sugarless version it's even better for you. Just note 250mg is a relativity weak dose and is advisable for those experiencing cold and flu symptoms and those who want to enhance their immune system. But it usually doesn't matter as these come in larger packs of 300… Read more
and it's always good to take 4-8 a day (1 in the morning, mid-day, later afternoon and night) to keep C levels up for optimum protection. Tastes nice, got that orange lolly taste. (mines the sugarless version, so that's a plus) Haven't noticed too much effect, but it's hard to know with this kind of thing. Though I have noticed I'm less likely to get a cold when I go out on my cold nightly walks.
Terrible – enovis vitamin c has sweet after taste and gives no details about its artificial sweetener is it US Drug Administration approved? low price after taste, no details regards artificial sweetener
