C-1000 Plus 90 Cápsulas - Progressive Laboratories

What is C-1000 Plus and how can it help you?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that plays multiple roles in the body. Progressive Laboratories' C-1000 Plus offers you 1000 mg of vitamin C per dose in a convenient 90-capsule format. This supplement is designed for those seeking an extra supply of this key nutrient, whether to complement a balanced diet or to cover specific needs.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells against oxidative damage. It also helps in the normal formation of collagen, which is necessary for the maintenance of skin, bones, and blood vessels. Additionally, it improves iron absorption and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Health Benefits of Vitamin C

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C has several scientifically backed benefits:

• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, teeth, gums, and blood vessels.
• Increases iron absorption.
• Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

It is important to remember that these benefits are obtained within a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Recommended Dosage of Vitamin C

The recommended daily dose of vitamin C for adults in Spain is 80 mg, although many people opt for higher doses to maintain optimal levels. C-1000 Plus provides 1000 mg per capsule, a much higher amount than the recommended daily intake, but within established safe limits (the tolerable upper limit is 2000 mg per day).

It is recommended to take one capsule daily, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your healthcare professional before starting supplementation.

What Makes C-1000 Plus Special?

Progressive Laboratories is a brand recognized for its commitment to the quality and purity of its supplements. C-1000 Plus comes in easy-to-swallow capsules, ideal for those seeking a convenient way to get their daily dose of vitamin C. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality controls to ensure the potency and safety of the product.

Furthermore, being a high dose (1000 mg), it is suitable for people with increased needs, such as smokers, athletes, or those exposed to greater oxidative stress. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so the excess is eliminated through urine, making it difficult to reach toxic levels.

How much Vitamin C do I need daily?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults is 80 mg, but this figure may vary depending on age, gender, and lifestyle. For example, smokers need an additional 35 mg per day due to increased oxidative stress. People who engage in intense physical activity or are under stress may also benefit from a higher intake.

A dose of 1000 mg per day is safe for most people and can help maintain optimal plasma levels. However, it is best to adapt supplementation to your individual needs under professional supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vitamin C

Can I take too much Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is eliminated through urine. However, very high doses (above 2000 mg per day) can cause digestive discomforts such as diarrhea or nausea. That's why it's important not to exceed the recommended dose.

Is natural or synthetic Vitamin C better?

Synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is chemically identical to natural vitamin C and has the same bioavailability. Both forms are effective. The choice depends on personal preferences.

According to the EFSA, it is not proven that vitamin C prevents colds. However, it may help shorten their duration and reduce the severity of symptoms if taken regularly.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of small children.
