Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for many bodily functions, supported by decades of research.

• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C neutralises free radicals, reducing oxidative damage to cells and tissues.*
• Immune Support: It supports the function of immune cells, helping the body defend against seasonal challenges.*
• Collagen Production: Vitamin C is a cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen synthesis, essential for skin elasticity and joint flexibility.*
• Iron Absorption: It enhances absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, maintaining healthy iron levels.*

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. The most common is ascorbic acid, the purest and most cost-effective form, which NOW use here. Some prefer buffered versions like sodium ascorbate for gentleness on the stomach, but ascorbic acid is well-tolerated when taken with food. Bioflavonoids, naturally occurring compounds in citrus fruits, are often included to enhance antioxidant activity and strengthen capillaries.* This formula includes a concentrated bioflavonoid complex derived from citrus.

For those with dietary restrictions, the product is free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives. It is also gluten-free and suitable for vegans.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient vital for overall health. As a powerful antioxidant, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It is also essential for collagen synthesis, supporting the structure of skin, bones, tendons, and blood vessels.* While many associate vitamin C with citrus fruits, getting enough from diet alone can be challenging due to factors like cooking and storage. A high-quality supplement like NOW Vitamin C-1000 with Bioflavonoids offers a convenient way to maintain optimal daily levels.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The suggested dose for adults is one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Each capsule provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C, well above the recommended daily intake. Higher doses are generally safe, but some individuals may experience mild digestive upset, especially on an empty stomach. If you have a history of kidney stones or other medical conditions, consult your health care provider before use.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, meaning excess is excreted in urine. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
