KAL C-1000 Plus, Vitamina C 1000 mg, Liberación Sostenida, 100 Tabletas

What is vitamin C and why is it important?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. Therefore, it is essential to obtain it through food or food supplements. This vitamin plays multiple vital functions: it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, protects cells from oxidative damage, and promotes iron absorption. In addition, it is necessary for the normal formation of collagen, which helps maintain the health of the skin, bones, and blood vessels.

KAL C-1000 Plus offers a high dose of 1000 mg per tablet in a sustained-release formula, designed to provide a continuous supply of vitamin C throughout the day.

Key benefits of vitamin C

Vitamin C has health claims approved by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). Its main functions include:

• Immune function: Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Antioxidant protection: Helps protect cells against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
• Iron absorption: Increases the absorption of non-heme iron present in plant-based foods.
• Collagen formation: It is necessary for the normal formation of collagen, essential for skin, bones, teeth, and blood vessels.
• Energy function: Contributes to normal energy metabolism, helping to reduce fatigue and tiredness.

Ingredients and release form

Each KAL C-1000 Plus tablet contains 1000 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The key to this supplement is its sustained-release technology: the tablets are formulated to release vitamin C gradually, which allows maintaining more stable levels in the body for longer compared to immediate-release formulas.

This tablet presentation facilitates daily intake. In addition, the product does not contain common allergens such as gluten, soy, dairy, or yeast, making it suitable for people with food sensitivities.

How to choose the best vitamin C supplement?

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, it is important to consider the dose, release form, and product quality. A dose of 1000 mg is adequate to cover daily needs and provide a plus in times of greater demand, such as during oxidative stress or to support the immune system.

Sustained release is especially useful if you are looking for a prolonged effect without high peaks in the blood. It is also advisable to opt for brands that perform quality tests, such as KAL, which guarantees the purity and potency of its ingredients.

Recommended dosage

It is recommended to take one (1) tablet daily, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The tablets should be swallowed whole, without chewing, to maintain sustained release.

This product is designed for adults. Consult a healthcare professional before use in case of pregnancy, lactation, illness, or if other medications are being taken.

Precautions and contraindications

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

In people with certain conditions, such as kidney stones or hemochromatosis, a doctor should be consulted before taking high doses of vitamin C. Although vitamin C is generally safe, high doses can cause mild digestive discomfort in some people.
