Nature’s Bounty Vitamin C + Rose Hips, 1000 mg, 100 Coated Caplets

Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is widely known for its contribution to immune function. It helps maintain the activity of white blood cells, which are essential for the body's natural defences against environmental stressors. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C neutralizes free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and premature cellular aging. Incorporating this nutrient into your daily routine is a proactive step for overall wellness, though individual results may vary.

Nature's Bounty Vitamin C + Rose Hips delivers 1000 mg of vitamin C per serving, combined with rose hips for added bioflavonoids that may enhance absorption. This formula supports year-round immune health and helps maintain your body's natural defences.

What Makes This Vitamin C Supplement with Rose Hips Special?

With over 50 years of experience, Nature's Bounty is a trusted name in nutrition, committed to quality and scientific research. This supplement is non-GMO, gluten-free, sugar-free, and contains No artificial colours or sweeteners. Each coated caplet is vegetarian-friendly and easy to swallow, with a convenient one-serving-per-day dosage.

The addition of rose hips sets this product apart. Rose hips, the fruit of the rose plant, provide naturally occurring bioflavonoids that have been studied for their potential to support vitamin C utilisation. While more research is needed, this combination offers a holistic approach to immune support.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms, including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, liposomal, and whole-food sources. Nature's Bounty uses ascorbic acid, the most common and well-researched form, which is highly bioavailable and effective at raising blood levels of vitamin C. For those with sensitive stomachs, the coated caplets are designed to be gentle while providing a high dose.

Rose hips are a whole-food source of bioflavonoids, but the primary vitamin C in this product is synthetic ascorbic acid, ensuring consistent potency and purity. Ascorbic acid remains the gold standard for immune support supplements.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own; it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Known for supporting the immune system, it also acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that cause oxidative stress. Nature's Bounty Vitamin C + Rose Hips provides 1000 mg of vitamin C per serving, combined with rose hips—a natural source of bioflavonoids that may enhance absorption.

Rose hips have been used for centuries in traditional wellness practises. They contain naturally occurring vitamin C and other antioxidants, making them a complementary addition to this supplement. Whether you're looking to maintain year-round immune health or support your body's natural defences, this formula offers a convenient, high-dose option.

Do not exceed the stated dose unless directed by a healthcare professional.

As with any dietary supplement, consult your healthcare practitioner before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking medication. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
