NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 with Rose Hips & Bioflavonoids, 100 Tablets

What Sets This Vitamin C Supplement Apart?

You might be wondering what makes NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 different from the rest. Well, it's the thoughtful combination of pure ascorbic acid with rose hips and bioflavonoids. Rose hips naturally contain vitamin C and bioflavonoids – plant compounds that may help your body absorb and use vitamin C more effectively. Plus, bioflavonoids bring their own antioxidant properties, working hand in hand with vitamin C to support your well-being.*

Made by NOW Foods, a trusted family-owned company since 1968, this supplement is vegan, non-GMO, kosher, and soy free. It's produced in GMP-certified facilities, so you know it's been tested for potency, purity, and stability.

Vitamin C's Top Benefits

Vitamin C does a lot for your body. It's essential for making collagen, the protein that keeps your skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels strong. It also helps your body metabolise amino acids and improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods – great news for vegans and vegetarians.

• Antioxidant Protection: Shields your cells from free radical damage.*
• Immune Support: Keeps your immune system in top shape, especially during stressful times.*
• Collagen Production: Vital for healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues.*
• Iron Absorption: Boosts uptake of non-heme iron, ideal for plant-based diets.

Understanding Vitamin C and Its Importance

Vitamin C – or ascorbic acid, if you want to get technical – is a water-soluble nutrient your body can't make on its own. That's why you need to get it from food or supplements. This formula gives you a solid 1,000 mg per serve, with rose hips and bioflavonoids for extra support. It helps maintain the health of your bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums, and is famous for its immune-boosting and antioxidant powers.*

Different Forms of Vitamin C

Vitamin C supplements aren't all the same. You'll find ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate (a buffered option), and whole-food sources. NOW Foods goes with pure ascorbic acid – the most studied and widely used form. By adding rose hips and bioflavonoids, they mimic the natural cofactors found in whole foods, giving you a more complete approach.

Dosage and Safety Tips

Pop one tablet a day, ideally with a meal, to get your dose. Don't take more than the recommended amount unless your health care pro says so. Vitamin C is pretty safe, but too much can upset your stomach. If you've got a medical condition or are on medication, have a chat with your doctor first. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of kids.
