Now Foods Vitamina C-1000 de Liberación Sostenida - 100 Comprimidos

Vitamin C Benefits

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. In addition, it contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and increases iron absorption. Now Foods Vitamin C-1000 Sustained Release provides 1000 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) per tablet, in a sustained release format designed to maintain stable levels throughout the day.

Why choose sustained release?

Vitamin C is water-soluble and is rapidly eliminated in the urine if taken in high doses all at once. Now Foods' sustained release formula is designed to gradually release vitamin C over several hours, which can help maintain more consistent serum levels and make the most of each dose. This is especially useful if you are looking for a continuous supply of vitamin C for your daily life, without having to take multiple doses. Each tablet provides 1000 mg of pure ascorbic acid in a controlled release matrix.

Recommended dosage and instructions for use

It is recommended to take 1 tablet daily, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 and over. As with any supplement, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication. Remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.

Product quality and purity

Now Foods is a recognized brand in the supplement sector, with decades of experience in manufacturing high-quality products. This supplement is produced under strict quality controls and good manufacturing practices (GMP). The sustained release tablets are formulated without common allergens such as gluten, wheat, milk, egg, fish, or shellfish (check the label for detailed information). In addition, they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as they do not contain ingredients of animal origin.

Synergies with other nutrients

Vitamin C works synergistically with other antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium, helping to regenerate their active form. It also promotes the absorption of non-heme iron present in plant-based foods, so taking it with iron-rich meals can be beneficial. For complete support, combine it with a B-complex vitamin and minerals such as zinc, which also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
