The Role of Vitamin C in Your Health

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient your body cannot produce on its own, so you need to get it from food or supplements every day. It's well known for supporting normal immune function, especially during and after intense physical activity. Vitamin C also acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress. It contributes to normal collagen formation for healthy skin, bones, gums, cartilage, teeth and blood vessels. What's more, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and enhances iron absorption when taken together. Blackmores Bio C 1000 provides a potent 1000 mg per tablet to help you reap these benefits.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. The most common and cost-effective is ascorbic acid (the form used in Blackmores Bio C 1000). There's also sodium ascorbate (a buffered version that's gentler on the stomach), liposomal vitamin C (designed for better absorption), and wholefood sources such as acerola cherry. Each has its own pros and cons, but ascorbic acid is well-researched and effective for most people when taken consistently. Blackmores Bio C 1000 sticks with this reliable form.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

Take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, talk to your healthcare professional before use. Always read the labelled and follow the directions for use. Keep out of reach of children.
