NaturesPlus Vitamin C 1000 mg with Rose Hips - 60 Sustained Release Tablets

Key Vitamin C Benefits for Your Health

Vitamin C is widely celebrated for its role in supporting the immune system. According to the European Food Safety Authority, vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, making it a vital nutrient for everyday wellness. It also plays a part in normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue. Each tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C (1111% of the Nutrient Reference Value) along with 100 mg of rose hips, a natural source of bioflavonoids that work synergistically with the vitamin.

• Immune Support: Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Antioxidant Protection: Helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Collagen Formation: Necessary for normal collagen production, supporting healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage.
• Iron Absorption: Enhances the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods.

Understanding Vitamin C and Its Role

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient that the human body cannot synthesise. It must be obtained through diet or supplementation. As a powerful antioxidant, it helps neutralise free radicals that can cause cellular damage. NaturesPlus Vitamin C with Rose Hips delivers a high-potency dose in a sustained release format, ensuring a steady supply throughout the day to maintain optimal levels.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements are available in several forms, including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, and liposomal versions. NaturesPlus uses ascorbic acid in a sustained release matrix, which gradually releases the nutrient to minimise digestive discomfort and provide consistent coverage. The inclusion of rose hips (Rosa canina) adds naturally occurring bioflavonoids that may enhance the antioxidant effects. Sustained release tablets are ideal for those who prefer a single daily dose without the need for multiple intakes.

Selecting the Ideal Vitamin C Supplement

When choosing a vitamin C supplement, consider the dosage, form, and additional ingredients. A 1000 mg dose is suitable for daily maintenance, while higher doses may be used for targeted support. Sustained release formulations help maintain steady blood levels. Look for products that are third-party tested for purity and potency. NaturesPlus Vitamin C is hypoallergenic, vegetarian, and free from artificial colours, preservatives, and gluten. Manufactured to GMP standards, it ensures quality and safety.

Dosage Guidelines and Safety Information

Adults should take one sustained release tablet daily with food, or as directed by a health care professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Vitamin C is generally safe, but high doses may occasionally cause mild digestive upset. If you have a medical condition or are taking medication, consult your doctor before uses.
