Research suggests that regular intake may reduce the duration of the common cold and lessen its severity, whilst individual results can vary. This essential nutrient also plays a vital role in collagen formation, which is important for healthy skin, bones, and joints. As a powerful antioxidant, it helps neutralise free radicals and may reduce oxidative stress. Additionally, vitamin C enhances the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, contributing to healthy iron levels. While these benefits are recognized, this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, , or prevent any disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTimed Release Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timed release formulation of Jamieson Vitamin C 500 mg is designed to release the nutrient gradually over several hours. This slow release helps maintain more stable blood levels throughout the day, which is advantageous for a water-soluble vitamin that is quickly excreted. Unlike immediate-release tablets that cause a rapid spike and drop, timed release provides a sustained supply, reducing the need for multiple daily doses. This is particularly useful for individuals who prefer once-daily supplementation or who experience digestive discomfort with higher doses of immediate-release vitamin C. Swallow the caplets whole without crushing or chewing to preserve the timed-release coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Vitamin C and Why Is It Important?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for numerous bodily functions. Humans cannot synthesise it, so it must be obtained from diet or supplements. It is found in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, strawberries, kiwi, bell peppers, broccoli, and tomatoes. The recommended daily intake for adults is around 75 to 90 mg, but needs may increase during illness, pregnancy, or for smokers. Deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakened immune function, and slow wound healing; severe deficiency causes scurvy. This product provides 500 mg per caplet, above the basic recommendation, and is a convenient way to ensure adequate intake, especially for those with limited dietary sources or increased requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Usage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe suggested dose is one caplet daily, taken with a meal and a full glass of water. Consistency is key, so take at the same time each day. As the caplets are timed release, they should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed. Always read the label and follow the directions for uses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jamieson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46720044466337,"sku":null,"price":43.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ukvitalityvitamins.co.uk\/products\/jamieson-vitamin-c-500-mg-timed-release-caplets-b01koz635q","provider":"UkVitalityVitamins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
