Vitamin C + Rosehip Extract + Citrus Bioflavonoids | 1000mg | 365 Tablets | Vit4ever

Vitamin C 1000mg Time Release from Vit4ever

This vitamin C 1000mg has a delayed release (time release). The tablet does not release the vitamin C all at once, but spreads this out over several hours. In addition to pure vitamin C, the tablet contains rosehip extract and citrus bioflavonoids, two substances that naturally occur together with vitamin C in fruit. One tablet per day provides 1000 mg, and with 365 tablets in a jar, you have a year's supply at home at once.

How time-release works in this vitamin C 1000mg

A regular tablet with ascorbic acid falls apart quickly. The matrix in which the vitamin C in this tablet is processed breaks down gradually, so that the release is spread over a longer period. The difference lies in the structure of the tablet itself: a layer that slowly disintegrates, instead of a tablet that immediately falls apart as soon as it comes into contact with moisture. Manufacturers often use a matrix structure based on fats or fibrous substances for this type of tablet, which absorbs moisture like a kind of sponge and therefore only releases the vitamin C after some time.

Why rosehip and bioflavonoids have been added

Rosehip (the fruit of the wild rose) and citrus bioflavonoids often occur together with vitamin C in nature, for example in citrus fruits. Vit4ever processes them alongside the ascorbic acid, so that the tablet remains closer to the natural combination found in fruit. Bioflavonoids and rosehip do not have an approved EU health claim themselves. The amounts of rosehip extract and citrus bioflavonoids are not specified separately on the label. You will therefore see an asterisk in the table instead of an exact milligram value for these two additions.

What vitamin C does in your body

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, blood vessels, cartilage, teeth and gums, to the normal function of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E. Furthermore, vitamin C increases iron absorption and contributes to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system during and after heavy physical exertion; that beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg above the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

Practical: a year's worth of vitamin C in a jar

With 365 tablets in a jar, you only need to order this product once a year if you take one tablet daily. That reduces packaging waste and is convenient if you do not want to think about reordering every month. Each batch is independently tested for content and purity, so you know that every tablet contains what is stated on the label. For those who prefer to take 1000 mg in a single tablet instead of several smaller tablets per day, this is a practical choice within the vitamin C range of Vit4ever. The tablet is also easy to take with you: one tablet per day fits into any routine, whether you eat breakfast at home or are on the go.
