Kirkland Signature Vitamina C con Escaramujo, 1000 mg

Vitamin C benefits

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that performs multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, both before and after intense exercise. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage, helping to neutralize free radicals. In addition, vitamin C is necessary for the normal formation of collagen, a key protein for the health of skin, blood vessels, bones and gums. Finally, it promotes iron absorption, which is especially useful in vegetarian or vegan diets.

Recommended dose

Each Kirkland Signature Vitamin C with Rose Hips tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C, a high dose that largely covers the recommended daily needs. It is advisable to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, unless a healthcare professional indicates it. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.

What makes rosehip special?

Rosehip is the fruit of the wild rose and has traditionally been used as a natural source of vitamin C. In this formula, rosehip provides bioflavonoids, plant compounds that can complement the action of vitamin C and improve its bioavailability. Although the main vitamin C is of synthetic origin (ascorbic acid), the inclusion of rosehip provides a more complete profile of phytonutrients.

How to choose a quality vitamin C?

When choosing a vitamin C supplement, it is advisable to look at the dose, form and additional ingredients. The dose of 1000 mg is one of the most common and is considered adequate for healthy adults. As for the form, pure ascorbic acid is well tolerated by most people, although those with sensitive stomachs may opt for buffered forms such as sodium ascorbate. The presence of rosehip adds extra value thanks to its bioflavonoids. In addition, this product is gluten and lactose free, suitable for people with intolerances.
