What Is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient that plays a vital role in many bodily functions. As an essential vitamin, your body cannot produce it on its own, so you must obtain it through diet or supplementation. NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 provides a potent 1,000 mg per serving, paired with rose hips and bioflavonoids to support your daily wellness routine.

This formula is designed to help maintain the health of your bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. Vitamin C is also well-known for its role in supporting immune function and acting as a powerful antioxidant.

What Makes This Vitamin C Supplement Special?

NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 stands out because it combines pure ascorbic acid with rose hips and bioflavonoids. Rose hips are a natural source of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which are plant compounds that may enhance the absorption and effectiveness of vitamin C. Bioflavonoids themselves offer antioxidant benefits, working synergistically with vitamin C to support overall health.

Produced by NOW Foods, a trusted family-owned company since 1968, this supplement is vegan, non-GMO, kosher and soy free. It is also manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, ensuring that every aspect of production is rigorously tested for potency, purity and stability.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms: ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate (buffered) and whole-food sources. NOW Foods use pure ascorbic acid, the most common and well-researched form. The addition of rose hips and bioflavonoids provides a more comprehensive approach, as these natural cofactors are often found in whole foods.

Each tablet delivers 1,000 mg of vitamin C, making it easy to achieve the recommended daily intake. For those with sensitive stomachs, the inclusion of rose hips may provide a gentler option compared to plain ascorbic acid.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The suggested serving is one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a health care professional. Vitamin C is generally safe, but high doses may cause digestive discomfort. If you have a medical condition or are taking medication, consult your doctor before use.

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
