What “supports immune system function” means on a vitamin C label
Listed medicines in Australia may only make claims drawn from a set list that the TGA permits, and each product is listed for specific ones. Tangy Vitamin C is listed for the immune system, and that is the only health statement we make for it.
The label is also plain about a supplement's role: vitamins can only be of assistance if dietary vitamin intake is inadequate.
Vitamin C for the immune system: food first
The NHMRC sets the Recommended Dietary Intake for adults at 45 mg of vitamin C a day. Good food sources:
- Capsicum, red and green

The figures for every age group are in how much vitamin C per day.
