Solaray Vitamin C 500 mg with Rose Hips - Sustained Release Capsules, 100 Count

What makes Solaray Vitamin C with Rose Hips special?

Solaray combines vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with rose hips in a sustained-release formula designed to provide a steady supply throughout the day. Each vegetable capsule contains 500 mg of vitamin C, a dose that contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage. Rose hips, known for their natural bioflavonoid content, complement the antioxidant action of vitamin C. This synergy makes the product a practical option for those seeking a reliable daily supplement.

Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with multiple functions supported by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Its authorized benefits include:

• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Supports the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.
• Increases iron absorption.

Additionally, vitamin C participates in the normal formation of collagen, which is necessary for the maintenance of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, and skin. However, specific claims must adhere to those authorized by the EFSA.

Recommended Dosage and Usage

The suggested dose is one capsule twice daily, preferably with meals or with a glass of water. Each package contains 100 capsules, providing a 50-day supply if the indicated regimen is followed. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.

Why choose a sustained-release formula?

Solaray's sustained-release technology releases half the dose rapidly and the other half gradually over a period of up to 12 hours. This allows for sustained levels of vitamin C in the body, avoiding peaks and valleys. It is especially useful for those who prefer a single daily dose or want a continuous supply without the need for multiple doses. The formula is vegan, gluten-free, and contains no artificial ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this vitamin C with other supplements?

Generally, yes. Vitamin C combines well with other nutrients like zinc or vitamin D. However, if you are taking medication or have any health condition, consult a professional before starting any supplementation.

Do rose hips provide additional benefits?

Rose hips are a natural source of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which can enhance antioxidant action. However, the amount of vitamin C from rose hips in this product is minimal; the main contribution is the added ascorbic acid.

Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, the capsules are plant-based (cellulose), suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
