Carlyle Vitamin C 2000mg with Rose Hips - 150 Caplets | Vegetarian, Non-GM, Gluten free

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C does a fair bit of heavy lifting in your body. Here's what it's known for:

• Immune support: Helps keep your immune system ticking along, especially during times of physical stress or seasonal challenges.
• Antioxidant protection: Neutralises free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and cellular damage.
• Collagen formation: Essential for making collagen, a protein that supports healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and connective tissues.
• Iron absorption: Boosts the absorption of non-heme iron from plant foods, helping maintain healthy iron levels.
• Energy metabolism: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, so you feel energised throughout the day.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient your body absolutely needs but cannot make itself. It's famous for immune support, but it also helps with collagen production, iron absorption, and more. Rose hips are the fruit of the rose plant, rich in bioflavonoids that work alongside vitamin C to boost its absorption and effectiveness.

Carlyle's formula delivers 2,000 mg of vitamin C per serve, making it a high-strength option for maintaining adequate levels. Each bottle contains 150 caplets, providing 75 serves at a convenient two-caplet serving size.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C comes in several forms. The most common is ascorbic acid, the pure form used here – it's well absorbed and cost-effective. Other forms include sodium ascorbate (buffered, gentler on the stomach), liposomal vitamin C (enhanced absorption), and wholefood sources like acerola. This supplement combines ascorbic acid with rose hips, which add naturally occurring bioflavonoids for a more complete nutrient profile.
