Swanson Vitamin C with Rose Hips, 500 mg, 100 Capsules

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

• Immune Support: Vitamin C helps maintain a healthy immune system, particularly during seasonal changes.
• Antioxidant Protection: It neutralises free radicals, reducing oxidative stress that can damage cells and tissues.
• Skin Health: As a cofactor for collagen production, vitamin C supports skin structure and elasticity.
• Cardiovascular Wellness: By protecting blood vessels from oxidative damage, it may support heart health.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own. It plays a vital role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant protection. By neutralising free radicals—unstable molecules from pollution, UV rays, and even normal metabolism—vitamin C helps shield your cells from oxidative stress. This antioxidant action supports not only your immune system but also your skin’s elasticity and cardiovascular health. Swanson’s Vitamin C with Rose Hips provides a convenient 500 mg dose to help fill dietary gaps and promote overall wellness.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

As a food supplement, take one capsule daily with food and water. Each capsule supplies 500 mg of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) plus rose hips. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by a health care professional. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is usually excreted, but high doses may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.

The Swanson Advantage: Full Spectrum with Rose Hips

Swanson’s formula goes beyond basic ascorbic acid by incorporating rose hips—a natural source of bioflavonoids that may enhance vitamin C absorption and activity. This full-spectrum approach use plant-based ingredients without unnecessary processing, delivering vitamin C as nature intended. For over five decades, Swanson has been committed to quality: every batch is made in GMP-certified facilities and tested by independent third-party labs to ensure purity and potency.
