SOLARAY Timed Release Vitamin C with Rose Hips & Acerola, 1000mg, 250 Tablets

The Importance of Vitamin C

Discover Solaray Timed Release — Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the human body is unable to produce on its own. It must be obtained from dietary sources or supplementation. This vitamin is widely recognized for its contribution to the normal function of the immune system and its ability to protect cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also plays a key role in the formation of collagen, which is necessary for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth, and blood vessels. Additionally, it helps to increase the absorption of non-haem iron from plant-based foods and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. SOLARAY Timed Release Vitamin C offers a convenient way to meet your daily needs, providing 1000mg per serving in a formula that includes rose hips and acerola – natural sources of bioflavonoids that work synergistically with vitamin C.

What Makes SOLARAY’s Timed Release Innovation Important?

SOLARAY has developed a two-stage timed release technology designed to deliver vitamin C in a controlled manner. This approach aims to release half of the vitamin C rapidly for immediate support, while the remaining half is released gradually over several hours, helping to maintain more consistent blood levels of vitamin C throughout the day. This may improve absorption and utilisation compared to immediate-release formulae. The product is enhanced with rose hips and acerola, which naturally contain bioflavonoids – compounds that may support the activity of vitamin C and contribute to its antioxidant effects. SOLARAY has been committed to quality since 1973, sourcing premium ingredients and verifying their products through independent laboratories.

Choosing the Right Vitamin C Supplement

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, it is important to consider factors such as dosage, form, and additional ingredients. Dosages commonly range from 500mg to 1000mg per serving, with higher amounts often used for targeted support. The form (tablet, capsule, powder, gummy) affects convenience and absorption. Look for third-party testing or certifications such as 'Lab Verified' to ensure purity and potency. If you prefer a supplement with naturally occurring bioflavonoids, products that include rose hips or acerola are a good choice. SOLARAY’s Timed Release Vitamin C combines these features: a substantial 1000mg dose, a two-stage release system, and the addition of rose hips and acerola, all in a vegan, lab-tested formula.

Different Forms of Vitamin C

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms, each with different characteristics. The most common is ascorbic acid, which is highly effective but can be acidic and may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals. Buffered forms like sodium ascorbate are gentler on the stomach. Liposomal vitamin C is designed for enhanced absorption through encapsulation in liposomes. Whole-food sources such as acerola cherry and rose hips provide vitamin C along with naturally occurring cofactors. SOLARAY’s timed release tablets combine ascorbic acid with rose hips and acerola, offering the benefits of both synthetic and natural sources in a convenient tablet form. This product is also vegan, making it suitable for plant-based diets.

Recommended Intake and Safety

The recommended intake of vitamin C varies by age, sex, and life stage. For most adults, a daily intake of 65 to 90mg is sufficient to prevent deficiency, but higher doses are often used for immune support and antioxidant benefits. SOLARAY Timed Release Vitamin C provides 1000mg per serving of two tablets. It is generally well tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild digestive upset at high doses. It is always advisable to consult with a health care professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medications. This product is formulated for adult uses and should be taken as directed.

Food supplements are intended to supplement the diet and should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Always read the label and follow directions for uses.
