Shaklee Sustained Release Vita-C 500mg – High Potency Cellular and Immune Support with Rose Hips and Bioflavonoids – 180 Tablets

Looking for a vitamin C supplement that works with your body, not against it? Shaklee Sustained Release Vita-C 500mg is formulated with a smart delivery system that gradually releases vitamin C over 12 hours, providing steady support without the digestive drama. This Aussie-friendly formula combines 500mg of ascorbic acid with rose hips and a bioflavonoid blend to give you a complete antioxidant package.

How the Sustained-Release Technology Works

Instead of hitting your system all at once, this clever system trickles the vitamin C out over half a day. Shaklee's sustained-release technology mimics the body's natural nutrient utilisation, maintaining consistent blood levels and minimising gastrointestinal discomfort often linked to high-dose vitamin C. The result is long-lasting immune and overall health support.

Key Ingredients and Their Synergistic Benefits

Each tablet packs 500mg of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), a form your body recognises and uses easily. Rose hips add a natural hit of vitamin C plus bioflavonoids, which are plant compounds that may boost absorption and antioxidant oomph. The proprietary bioflavonoid blend helps neutralise free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. It's not just a vitamin C tablet—it's an antioxidant powerhouse.

Who Can Benefit from Vita-C?

If you're looking to support your immune system during cold and flu season, or when life gets stressful, this sustained-release formula is a winner. It's also great for those who don't get enough vitamin C from food, smokers (they need extra), and active folks wanting to aid recovery. Since vitamin C is water-soluble and not stored, a daily top-up is key.

Potential Benefits of Vitamin C Supplementation

Vitamin C is crucial for tissue growth and repair. It helps your body make collagen, which keeps skin, bones, teeth, gums, and blood vessels healthy. As an antioxidant, it mops up free radicals that can contribute to ageing and disease. Plus, it improves absorption of non-heme iron from plant foods—good news for vegetarians and vegans. *Always read the labelled and follow directions for use.* These statements have not been evaluated by the TGA.

Vitamin C is water-soluble and vital for many body functions. Shaklee's sustained-release version delivers 500mg gradually over 12 hours, keeping blood levels steady and reducing tummy troubles. With added rose hips and bioflavonoids, it's comprehensive antioxidant support.
