Swanson Vitamin C 1000 mg with Rose Hips, Timed Release, 250 Tablets

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 functioning of the immune system, protects cells from oxidative damage, and supports normal collagen formation for the proper functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. Additionally, it aids in normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. With each 1000 mg tablet, you get a significant dose to meet your daily needs.

Why choose a sustained-release format?

Vitamin C is water-soluble and is quickly eliminated from the body. Therefore, the sustained-release formula is designed to gradually release the nutrient over several hours. This helps maintain more stable blood levels and reduces the possibility of stomach upset sometimes caused by pure ascorbic acid. This system is ideal for those seeking consistent coverage throughout the day with a single dose.

Recommended dosage and directions for use

It is recommended to take 1 tablet daily with water, preferably with a meal. Each tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) along with rosehip, a natural source of bioflavonoids. 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.

What makes this vitamin C with rosehip special?

Rosehip (Rosa canina) is the fruit of the wild rose, known for its high content of bioflavonoids and natural vitamin C. In this formula, rosehip complements the action of ascorbic acid, providing plant compounds that have traditionally been used to support vitamin C function. Furthermore, the combination offers a more complete antioxidant profile, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress.
