What is Illumined C?
Illumined C is Alfa Vedic's botanical approach to a daily essential: four fruit extracts, Vitamin C ester, and fulvic minerals, formulated by Dr. Barre Lando, D.C. Mix as directed into a drink you enjoy.
Who it's for
You already take vitamin C because you know it matters. Now you want the version that's closest to the fruit, fully dosed, and made by someone who can tell you exactly why every ingredient is there. If you've been buying ascorbic acid by the tub or tablets by the bottle, this is your upgrade.
Benefits
• Supports healthy immune function* • Antioxidant protection against everyday oxidative stress* • Supports natural collagen formation* • Fat-soluble vitamin C ester, designed to reach connective tissues that water-soluble C can't* • Fulvic minerals to support absorption and nutrient use*
How to use
Mix 1 to 2 scoops into 4 to 8 oz of water or juice and shake. Or blend it into your morning smoothie. Take it daily.
Ingredients
Organic acerola cherry, amla berry, goji berry, and bergamot orange extracts · Vitamin C ester · Fulvic minerals · Birch xylitol That's the whole list. No fillers, no flow agents, no artificial sweeteners.
The difference is in the formula
Ascorbic acid is one molecule. Illumined C is the whole fruit.
Most vitamin C sold today is ascorbic acid, a single compound typically made in a factory from corn sugar. It's cheap, and it's only one piece of what fruit gives you. The fruit itself carries vitamin C alongside its own plant compounds, the way nature packages it.
Illumined C starts with the fruit. Four organic superfruits, a fat-soluble form of C, and fulvic minerals, combined by a practitioner who's spent 40 years learning what the body actually uses.
Spagyric preparation: the whole plant, nothing stripped out.
- 01 · SeparateEach botanical is broken down into its parts.
- 02 · PurifyEach part is refined on its own.
- 03 · ReuniteEverything comes back together, so you get the whole plant, not one isolated compound.
Why we do it the slow way
Most extraction keeps one compound and discards the rest. Spagyric preparation is a centuries-old craft that does the opposite, and it's rare in modern supplements because it takes time. We use it because the result stays closer to the living plant.
Ascorbic acid powder
One isolated compound. Usually synthesized from corn sugar. That's all you're getting.

What's in your scoop, and why it's there.
Four organic superfruits
The foundation: vitamin C as nature makes it, with the fruit's own plant compounds intact. • Acerola cherry: one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C on earth • Amla berry: revered in Ayurveda for thousands of years for its strengthening effects • Goji berry: antioxidant-rich and long valued in traditional Chinese practice • Bergamot orange: brings citrus compounds and a bright, clean flavor
Vitamin C ester
Most vitamin C dissolves only in water. The ester form is fat-soluble, which is designed to let it reach connective tissues that water-soluble ascorbic acid can't.
Fulvic minerals
A natural trace-mineral complex that acts as a carrier, included to support how your body absorbs and uses the nutrients in each serving.
Birch xylitol
A light, natural sweetness from birch, so it tastes like something you want to drink every day. No artificial sweeteners.

Farm to Formula
Formulated on a farm, not in a boardroom.
Dr. Barre Lando, D.C., has spent more than 40 years in clinical practice asking one question: what does the body need to bring itself back into balance?
He formulates from an off-grid medicinal herb farm on the Smith River in Northern California, one of the cleanest rivers in America. There, he and his wife, Deborah, grow medicine in living soil. He's a master gardener, a permaculture designer, and the person who chose every ingredient on this label.

Questions before your first scoop.
Clear answers before your first scoop.
How is this different from the vitamin C I take now?
Most vitamin C is ascorbic acid: one isolated compound. Illumined C gives you 1 gram of vitamin C from four organic superfruits, plus a fat-soluble vitamin C ester and fulvic minerals, both included to support absorption.* It's whole-fruit C, formulated by a practitioner with 40+ years of experience.
How much vitamin C is in each serving?
1 gram per serving. Each 120 g bag holds 30 servings. We suggest 1 to 2 scoops daily.
What does it taste like?
Fresh and lightly sweet, thanks to the fruit extracts and a touch of birch xylitol. Customers call it "fresh" and "vital." Most mix it into water or juice; it also blends well into smoothies.
What does "spagyric" mean?
It's a centuries-old way of preparing plants. Each botanical is separated into its parts, purified, and brought back together, so you get the whole plant instead of one isolated compound.
What does Beyond Organic mean?
Organic is our minimum. We source from living soil: wild-harvested botanicals and organic, biodynamic, and permaculture growers, hand-selected by Dr. Lando. It's our sourcing standard, not a separate certification.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Vitamin C works as part of your daily foundation, not overnight. Take it consistently and give it a few weeks. That's why the guarantee runs a full 60 days.
Should I check with my practitioner first?
If you're pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a health condition, review the label with a qualified healthcare professional before starting.
Can I get a refund after opening the bag?
Yes. Opened bags are covered by our 60-day money-back guarantee. If it's not right for you, email support@alfavedic.com with your order details.
