rubyni Vitamin C with the power of the best natural fruits
What comes to mind when you hear the term vitamin C? Most people spontaneously think of a lemon or orange. But there are fruits that score with far more vitamin C. These include the acerola cherry and amla, the Indian gooseberry.
Vitamin C fulfills many important tasks in your body. It not only plays a fundamental role for the immune system, but also for your energy metabolism: the vital substance can help to banish tiredness – and thus act as a real freshness kick. Your connective tissue is also dependent on vitamin C. Among other things, you need it for beautiful skin and healthy joints and bones.
Freshly harvested, many types of fruit and vegetables contain plenty of vitamin C. However, they often travel a long way before they end up on your plate. Their vitamin content can decrease significantly. With rubyni vitamin C capsules, you can prevent a vitamin C deficiency – naturally, vegan and with the concentrated power of acerola and amla.
- Contributes to normal energy metabolism and can therefore reduce tiredness and fatigue 1
- Supports collagen formation for healthy connective tissue and beautiful skin2,3
- Is an important building block for a powerful immune system4
- Increases iron absorption3
- 100 % natural vitamin C from the best fruits: Acerola and Amla
- 212 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C per capsule
- from sustainable organic cultivation: 100 % organic
- Vegan, lactose- and gluten-free; free from preservatives and fillers
rubyni Vitamin C can help you meet your daily vitamin C requirements from the best fruits. We obtain the vital substance from high-quality, sustainably grown acerola cherries and Indian gooseberries (amla). The special thing about this is that the so-called fruit matrix is preserved during gentle processing. This means that the vitamin C is embedded in a natural network full of valuable plant substances.
Acerola comes from Brazil and is one of the fruits with the highest vitamin C content in the world: 100 grams (g) of the fully ripe fruit can contain up to 2,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C.5 Amla contains around 600 to 700 milligrams per 100 grams of fruit.6 By comparison, a lemon contains just 53 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit.7
How much vitamin C does your body need?
Your body can neither produce nor store vitamin C itself. You must therefore regularly consume sufficient amounts with food.8 But what exactly does this mean?
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 95 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C for women. For men it is 110 milligrams per day. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or smoking, you have a higher daily vitamin C requirement. 2 But people who work hard physically, suffer from infections or are under stress also have an increased vitamin C requirement.9
The European Union (EU) specifies a requirement of 80 milligrams of vitamin C per day for both sexes. This is the so-called nutrient reference value (NRV for short). This is used as a guide in the manufacture of food supplements when it comes to the dosage of vitamins and minerals.10
All about our capsules
One capsule of rubyni Vitamin C contains 212 milligrams of vitamin C – this corresponds to 266% of the daily vitamin C requirement according to the nutrient reference value (NRV*). Two capsules contain 425 milligrams of vitamin C, i.e. 531 % according to NRV*.
Recommended intake: We recommend taking 1-2 capsules of rubyni vitamin C per day. This is possible at any time of day – but you should not take the capsules on an empty stomach. If you take two rubyni vitamin C capsules per day, ideally divide them into two portions. This is the best way for your body to absorb the vitamin C. Always take the capsules with plenty of water and without chewing.

rubyni vitamin C at a glance: What’s in our capsules
rubyni Vitamin C is a dietary supplement that provides you with vitamin C from natural sources. We use two different fruits, acerola and amla.
Ingredients:
- Organic acerola fruit powder (from Malpighia glabra, freeze-dried, 20 % vitamin C)
- Organic Amla fruit extract (from Emblica officinalis, 50 % vitamin C)
- Coating agent hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (plant-based capsule shell, certified vegan)
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. However, if this term is used on a dietary supplement, it usually refers to ascorbic acid that has been produced synthetically, i.e. artificially. With our rubyni vitamin C capsules, however, we provide you with vitamin C that is embedded in its natural fruit matrix.
Good to know: As vitamin C is an acid, fruits with a high vitamin C content usually taste sour. If your teeth come into contact with large amounts of the acid, it can attack the tooth enamel. This is not a problem with our practical rubyni vitamin C capsules: they are swallowed whole.11
Pack size: 180 capsules – in a can made from recycled PET.
Note: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or to replace a healthy lifestyle.
Best fruit – sustainable cultivation
Our rubyni vitamin C capsules contain only pure fruit. They provide you with 100% natural vitamin C from two types of superfood: acerola and amla. The fruits are grown sustainably and organically.
We only use the best fruits for our organic acerola fruit powder from Brazil. They are gently freeze-dried so that the full fruit matrix of the acerola cherry is preserved. In addition to vitamin C, it contains many other valuable components, such as fiber that aids digestion.
Our organic Amla fruit extract contains the best of the so-called Indian gooseberry. It comes from the highlands of Ooty, among other places. This region in India is known for the cultivation of high-quality amla. Our fruits are processed gently so that we can guarantee you the highest purity and quality – without any artificial additives.

Vitamin C: for your connective tissue and a building block for the immune system
Vitamin C is an essential vital substance. Among other things, your body needs it to produce collagen. Collagens are certain proteins that make up the main component of your connective tissue – which in turn is involved in the formation of blood vessels, skin, bones, cartilage, gums and teeth. Vitamin C therefore contributes to the normal function of all these different tissues.2,3 A deficiency can, for example, increase the risk of bleeding gums.12
Do you often feel tired and exhausted? Then it could also be that you are not consuming enough vitamin C. This is because one of the tasks of this vital substance is to keep your energy metabolism in balance.1
However, vitamin C is also essential for many other processes in the body. 2,3
Without sufficient vitamin C, your immune defense is not fully effective. This is because it helps certain cells of the immune system to mature and multiply – and enables them to find and fight pathogens.13,14
Just like our berry extracts15, vitamin C also has an antioxidant effect. This means that it can protect your cells from damage caused by so-called free radicals. These are reactive molecules that occur naturally in the metabolism and can attack the body’s cells.16
Vitamin C – essential for your body
Did you know that the highest concentration of vitamin C is found in your brain? This is where its antioxidant effect is important, as it reduces inflammatory processes. The vitamin also supports the development and function of the nervous system and the production of certain messenger substances in the brain, known as neurotransmitters.17
A sufficiently high vitamin C level also has a positive effect on mood: In people with depressive symptoms, a high-dose vitamin C intake can brighten the mood.17 A lack of vitamin C, on the other hand, can be associated with mood swings and mental impairment. Studies provide an indication of this.18
Do you eat a vegetarian or vegan diet? Vitamin C can help you prevent an iron deficiency: with its help, the body can better utilize iron from plant-based foods. This includes pulses, oatmeal and pumpkin seeds, for example.6
Heat-sensitive vital substance
Foods such as fruit, vegetables and herbs contain plenty of vitamin C when freshly harvested. However, the content can vary greatly and depends, for example, on the degree of ripeness of the produce. The vitamin is also sensitive to heat and is (partially) lost through cooking. Even if food is stored for longer, this often reduces its vitamin C content.2,3
rubyni Vitamin C can prevent an undersupply of vitamin C and help to remedy a deficiency. The practical capsules make it easy to cover your daily vitamin C requirement from natural sources: our food supplement always provides you with a constant dose of the important vital substance.

EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD TRUST
Tobias Angerer
Cross-country skier
As a former professional athlete and health-conscious person, my physical performance and well-being are extremely important to me. That's why I take rubyni® with elderberries - it's now part of my daily routine. I am convinced of the positive effects of elderberries on my immune system, my energy levels and my fitness, especially during regeneration after periods of exertion.
Andrea Sokol
Phytotherapist | Nutrition and health consultant
I work as a nutrition and health consultant and am a trained phytotherapist. Transparency, sustainability and quality are very important to me. And I have to say that rubyni® has completely won me over as a brand. The capsules contain only extremely high-quality and natural ingredients whose effectiveness has been proven by studies and which provide the body with important nutrients. I have published several videos about my personal rubyni® journey on my YouTube channel Ohlala & Solala. There I tell you even more about what makes this dietary supplement so special from my point of view.
Hanna Kebinger
Biathlete
As a biathlete, I have to be fit and able to perform at the drop of a hat. I had big problems with that in the past. My body was repeatedly weakened and I had to put up with many setbacks. When I was looking for a solution to support my immune system in the long term, my naturopath introduced me to elderberries as a superfood, among other things. I now take rubyni® with elderberries every day. The capsules are also super handy when I'm on the World Cup circuit. Rubyni® is a valuable aid for me during stressful competition phases and my immune system is finally back on top form.
