Vitamin C-1000 Sustained Release Tablets

Key Benefits of Vitamin C for Everyday Health

Vitamin C is a powerhouse nutrient that supports numerous bodily functions. Research-backed benefits include:

• Immune Support: Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, helping you stay resilient day after day.
• Collagen Production: It aids normal collagen formation, which is crucial for healthy skin, bones, and joints.
• Antioxidant Protection: By neutralising free radicals, vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress and maintain tissue health.
• Nutrient Utilisation: It enhances the absorption of non-heme iron from plant sources, supporting energy metabolism and reducing the risk of anaemia. It also helps the body utilise folic acid and other nutrients.
• Neurotransmitter Synthesis: Vitamin C is involved in producing neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, playing a role in mood regulation and cognitive function.

These benefits make vitamin C a cornerstone of any daily wellness routine.

What Makes This Vitamin C-1000 Sustained Release Tablet Special?

Unlike standard immediate-release supplements, our Vitamin C-1000 tablet uses sustained release technology to deliver a steady stream of vitamin C over several hours. This helps maintain consistent blood levels, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with conventional tablets.

Each tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C from ascorbic acid, enhanced with rose hips – a natural source of bioflavonoids and additional vitamin C. The tablet features a vegetarian coating and is free from wheat, gluten, soya, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, and tree nut ingredients. It is manufactured in a GMP facility that processes other allergen-containing ingredients. Natural colour variation may occur, reflecting the absence of artificial dyes.

How Does Sustained Release Work?

The gradual release mechanism allows the tablet to pass through the digestive tract, releg vitamin C slowly. This prolonged release supports efficient utilisation of the nutrient over an extended period, making it ideal for those who prefer a once-daily dose or have a sensitive stomach that reacts poorly to high single doses.

Recommended Dosage and Important Safety Information

Take one tablet daily with food to maximise absorption. Do not crush or chew the tablet, as the sustained release mechanism relies on swallowing whole. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Caution: For adults only. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

Understanding Vitamin C: An Essential Nutrient

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient that the human body cannot produce on its own, so it must be obtained from diet or supplementation. It plays a vital role in immune defence, collagen synthesis (the structural protein for skin, bones, and joints), and acts as a powerful antioxidant. Additionally, it supports amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and the utilisation of nutrients like folic acid and iron.

Since the body doesn't store large amounts of vitamin C, regular intake is important. Our sustained release tablets provide a convenient way to maintain adequate levels throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
