Vitamin C Complex (Acerola + Rosehip) | 300 capsules | Vit4ever

Vitamin C Complex from Acerola and Rosehips

Most vitamin C supplements contain synthetic ascorbic acid, made in a factory from glucose. This vitamin C complex from Vit4ever takes a different approach: acerola and rosehips, two fruits that are naturally rich in vitamin C. Two capsules per day provide a total of 400 mg of vitamin C, of which 220 mg comes from acerola extract and 180 mg from rosehips. That is 500 percent of the reference intake. One bottle contains 300 capsules, enough for 150 days of use at the recommended daily dose.

Why acerola and rosehips instead of ascorbic acid

Acerola (Malpighia glabra) is a cherry-like fruit from South America that is among the most vitamin C-rich fruits in the world, naturally having a much higher concentration than, for example, an orange. Rosehips (Rosa canina), the fruit of the wild rose, are also naturally high in vitamin C. Both fruits have long been used as natural sources of vitamin C, long before ascorbic acid could be produced synthetically. The difference is that these fruits provide vitamin C together with other plant substances, such as bioflavonoids, while a synthetic tablet contains only the pure ascorbic acid molecule. Vit4ever therefore uses extracts of both fruits instead of isolated ascorbic acid, standardized so that each capsule provides a fixed amount of vitamin C. This keeps this vitamin C complex closer to the form in which you naturally find it in fruit. The difference lies in the accompanying plant substances, not in the ascorbic acid molecule itself, which is chemically identical to the synthetic version used in most other supplements.

400 mg of vitamin C per day, divided between two sources

Of the 400 mg of vitamin C per daily dose, 220 mg comes from acerola extract and 180 mg from rosehips. This distribution ensures that you are not dependent on a single fruit source. What many people do not know is that some of the vitamin C in fruit is lost during processing and storage, so for a standardized dose, the extract is standardized to its vitamin C content. This keeps the dosage per capsule constant, regardless of fluctuations in the original fruit. This means you know exactly how much you are getting, even though the source is plant-based and not synthetic. In practice, this means that two capsules per day give you a fixed, consistent dose, even though the vitamin C concentration in fresh fruit varies from season to season.

What vitamin C means for your body

Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In addition, vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of the skin, bones, blood vessels, cartilage, teeth and gums, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E. Vitamin C also increases iron absorption and contributes to the maintenance of the normal functioning of the immune system during and after strenuous physical activity (with a daily intake of 200 mg of vitamin C in addition to the recommended daily intake; this product provides 400 mg per daily dose). With this complex, you therefore get that contribution from two fruits instead of from a laboratory process. That makes no difference to the action of the vitamin C itself, but it does make a difference to the origin of the raw material you are getting.

Plant-based, pure and tested

The capsules are plant-based and free from gluten, lactose, artificial colors and preservatives, making the complex suitable for a vegan diet. Each batch is produced and controlled in Germany according to strict quality standards, paying attention to both the vitamin C content and the purity of the extracts. With 300 capsules in a bottle and a daily dose of 2 capsules, you have a supply for 150 days. For those who prefer to choose a natural source of vitamin C instead of a synthetic one, this is a concrete alternative within the Vit4ever range. The two capsules per day are easy to incorporate into a fixed routine, for example at breakfast or lunch. And if you are wondering whether you have to take the two capsules at once: you do not necessarily have to, you can also spread them throughout the day as long as you take 2 capsules per day. This way, you can easily fit this vitamin C complex into your own daily schedule.
