Nutricost Vitamin C with Rose Hips 1025 mg, 240 Capsules

Brilliant news for those looking to support their daily health: Nutricost's Vitamin C with Rose Hips provides a robust 1,000 mg of vitamin C per capsule, plus 25 mg of rose hips. This high-strength formula is designed to help maintain normal immune function and protect cells from oxidative stress – all in one convenient capsule.

Why Your Body Needs Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is vital for healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. It also supports a healthy immune system, helping white blood cells function normally. As an antioxidant, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and contributes to normal energy metabolism. These benefits are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), so you can be confident in the science behind this nutrient.

The Added Benefit of Rose Hips

Rose hips are the small fruits of the rose plant, packed with natural vitamin C and bioflavonoids. In this supplement, each capsule contains 25 mg of rose hips, providing additional antioxidants such as quercetin and hesperidin. These bioflavonoids are believed to support the absorption and efficacy of vitamin C, offering a synergistic effect. Many people prefer a whole-food approach, and rose hips have a long history of uses for their nourishing properties.

Understanding Vitamin C Forms

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms, including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and liposomal vitamin C. This product uses pure ascorbic acid, the most widely researched and effective form. Capsules are a convenient choice; each delivers a pre-measured 1,025 mg serving (1,000 mg vitamin C + 25 mg rose hips). For those with a sensitive stomach, buffered forms may be gentler, but ascorbic acid works well for most people.

What to Look for in a Supplement

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider dosage, form, added ingredients and quality certifications. A daily dose of 1,000 mg is suitable for most adults. Look for products that are third-party tested for purity and potency. Nutricost's formula is manufactured in a GMP-compliant, registered facility, and is non-GMO and Gluten-free. Third-party testing ensures you're getting what's on the label.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The recommended intake is one capsule per day, providing 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 25 mg of rose hips. This is well within the safe upper limit of 2,000 mg per day for adults. Vitamin C is water-soluble and generally well tolerated, whilst very high doses may cause digestive discomfort. Always consult a health care professional if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition. Store in a cool, dry place.
