Watermelon, because Vitamin C shouldn't be boring 

1000mg of high-potency Vitamin C in a chewable watermelon flavoured tablet. Easy on your stomach, no chalky aftertaste. One tablet. Your immune system covered for the day.

• Dual-source Vitamin C for maximum absorption
• Buffered formula, gentle on the stomach
• Sweetened with xylitol, not stevia
• Chew or swallow, works either way

Designed for busy adults who want reliable daily immune support without the fuss.

Why two sources of Vitamin C?

Sodium Ascorbate is a buffered, non-acidic form that's kind to your stomach while still delivering strong immune and antioxidant support. Ascorbic Acid is a bioavailable form of Vitamin C, supporting collagen production, cellular health and immune resilience.

Together they make up 1000mg of Vitamin C that absorbs fast, works hard, and doesn't leave you reaching for a glass of water to wash away the taste.

Buffered Vitamin C: what does it mean?

The Defender contains sodium ascorbate as one of its Vitamin C sources. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of Vitamin C and is less acidic than pure ascorbic acid.

We use it alongside ascorbic acid to create a dual-source Vitamin C formula.

Why 1000 mg of Vitamin C?

We wanted The Defender to provide a clear, high-strength daily dose in one convenient tablet.

Vitamin C contributes to normal immune system function, normal collagen formation, normal energy-yielding metabolism and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Why watermelon?

Because Vitamin C shouldn't be boring.

We wanted something fresh, fruity and genuinely enjoyable to take.

Watermelon makes your daily Vitamin C routine a little more enjoyable — without compromising on the dose.

Who is it for?

Busy adults who want reliable daily immune support without the fuss, especially heading into the colder months when your body needs it most.

How do I take it?

Anytime of day, one tablet, chewed or swallowed. That's it.
