NOW Foods Vitamina C-1000 Complex con Bioflavonoides, 90 Tabletas

Vitamin C Benefits

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body needs for multiple functions. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage. This means it helps neutralize free radicals generated during normal metabolism and by environmental factors such as pollution or UV radiation. Additionally, it promotes the maintenance of healthy tissues, supporting the structure of bones, cartilage, and gums.

What makes this vitamin C special?

This NOW Foods supplement combines 1000 mg of vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate, a buffered version that is gentle on the stomach. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate has a more neutral pH, ideal if you have digestive sensitivity. In addition, it includes 250 mg of citrus bioflavonoids, natural compounds that act synergistically with vitamin C to enhance its absorption and effectiveness.

Recommended dosage and use

The suggested daily dose is one tablet per day, preferably with a meal. Each tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) and 250 mg of bioflavonoids. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep the product out of the reach of young children.

Types of vitamin C: which one to choose?

There are several forms of vitamin C on the market. The most common is ascorbic acid, but it can be acidic for some stomachs. Calcium ascorbate (as in this product) is a buffered form, less acidic and equally bioavailable. Other options include sodium ascorbate or liposomal vitamin C. Added bioflavonoids improve absorption and provide additional antioxidant benefits. For most people, the buffered form is an excellent choice for its balance between tolerance and effectiveness.

How to choose the best vitamin C?

When looking for a vitamin C supplement, consider the form, dosage, and quality of the manufacturer. NOW Foods is a recognized brand since 1968, with GMP certifications that guarantee the purity and potency of its products. This tablet is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, and suitable for kosher diets. In addition, it has undergone stability and quality tests in accredited ISO/IEC laboratories.
