The Role of Vitamin C in the Body

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. It must be obtained through diet or supplementation. This powerful antioxidant contributes to numerous physiological processes, including the maintenance of healthy skin, bones, teeth, and gums. With modern lifestyles and environmental stressors, many people turn to vitamin C supplements to ensure they meet their daily needs. NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 provides a convenient 1000 mg dose in a single daily capsule, making it easy to maintain optimal levels.

Key Benefits and EFSA-Approved Claims

This supplement delivers antioxidant protection, helping to neutralise free radicals that can cause oxidative stress. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation, which supports the structure of skin, joints, and connective tissues. Additionally, vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. The inclusion of 100 mg of bioflavonoids—natural plant compounds—works synergistically with vitamin C to support these benefits.

Bioflavonoids: Enhancing Absorption and Efficacy

Bioflavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in fruits and vegetables, often accompanying vitamin C in whole foods. They enhance the absorption and activity of vitamin C, providing additional antioxidant support. The 100 mg of bioflavonoids in this formula help maximise the benefits of each dose, supporting a healthy immune response and promoting overall vitality.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

For adults, take one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. This provides 1000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of bioflavonoids. Do not exceed the recommended dose. As with any supplement, consult your health care provider before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication. Keep out of reach of children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
