NOW Supplements, Vitamin C-1000 Complex with 250 mg of Bioflavonoids, Buffered, Antioxidant Protection, 90 Tablets

Looking to support your daily nutrition with a reliable immune booster? NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 Complex provides a potent 1,000 mg of vitamin C per serving in a buffered, gentle form. Combined with 250 mg of bioflavonoids, this formula is designed for optimal absorption and synergistic effectiveness.

Why Choose Buffered Vitamin C?

Buffered vitamin C, such as calcium ascorbate, offers a less acidic option compared to standard ascorbic acid. This makes it kinder to the stomach and ideal for those who experience digestive discomfort with regular vitamin C. The calcium component also contributes to bone health. NOW's buffered form ensures you get your daily vitamin C without irritation.

Key Nutrients: Bioflavonoids and Their Benefits

Bioflavonoids are natural plant compounds found in citrus fruits. They work alongside vitamin C to enhance its absorption and provide their own antioxidant properties. This combination supports the body's defence against oxidative stress and helps maintain healthy tissues. The 250 mg of bioflavonoids in this formula complement the vitamin C effectively.

How to Select the Right Vitamin C Supplement

When choosing a supplement, consider dosage, form, and quality certifications. NOW Vitamin C-1000 Complex delivers a standard daily dose of 1,000 mg per tablet, with the added benefit of bioflavonoids. The product is Non-GM, vegan, gluten-free, and free from common allergens like soya, nuts, dairy, and eggs.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The recommended dosage for adults is one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. Higher doses should be taken under medical guidance. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any excess is usually excreted, but very high intakes may cause mild digestive upset. The buffered form minimises this risk. Consult your health care professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
