Key Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is celebrated for its antioxidant powers and its ability to bolster the immune system.* But its contributions go further—it’s essential for collagen synthesis and helps your body absorb iron from plant-based foods.* Each capsule of NOW Vitamin C-1000 delivers a full 1,000 mg of vitamin C along with 100 mg of citrus bioflavonoids, which are natural plant compounds that work alongside vitamin C for enhanced effectiveness.*

• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and supporting healthy aging.*
• Immune Support: It helps immune cells like white blood cells function properly, helping your body stay resilient.*
• Collagen Production: Vitamin C is a key cofactor for collagen-building enzymes, which keeps skin elastic, joints flexible, and bones strong.*
• Iron Absorption: It increases absorption of non-heme iron from plants, helping maintain healthy iron stores.*

With 1,000 mg of vitamin C plus 100 mg of bioflavonoids per dose, this supplement offers robust support for your daily health needs.*

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that your body requires for many essential functions. As a powerful antioxidant, it defends cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can contribute to aging and disease.* It is also critical for making collagen—a protein that gives structure to your skin, bones, tendons, and blood vessels.* Additionally, vitamin C supports a healthy immune system, helping you weather seasonal challenges.*

Getting enough vitamin C from food alone can be tricky. Cooking, storage, and daily habits can lower the amount in your diet. That’s why a high-quality supplement like NOW Vitamin C-1000 with Bioflavonoids is a convenient way to maintain ideal levels every day.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C comes in various forms. Ascorbic acid is the purest and most cost-effective option, and that’s exactly what NOW uses in this product. Some people prefer buffered forms like sodium ascorbate if they have a sensitive stomach, but ascorbic acid is generally well-tolerated when taken with food.

Bioflavonoids, such as those from citrus fruits, are often added to boost vitamin C’s antioxidant activity and help strengthen capillaries.* NOW’s formula includes a concentrated bioflavonoid complex for added synergy.

This supplement is designed for a wide range of diets: it’s vegetarian, vegan, non-GMO, kosher, and free from common allergens like gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, and sugar. It’s produced under strict GMP standards for purity and potency.

Why Choose NOW Vitamin C-1000 with Bioflavonoids?

The addition of 100 mg of bioflavonoids per capsule sets this formula apart from plain vitamin C. Bioflavonoids are studied for their role in immune function and vascular health.* The capsules are easy to swallow, making them a practical choice every day.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The suggested adult dose is one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Each capsule provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C, which is well above the recommended daily intake. Higher doses are generally safe, though some people may experience mild digestive upset, especially on an empty stomach. If you have a history of kidney stones or other medical conditions, talk to your healthcare provider before starting.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, meaning excess is excreted in urine. Still, stick to the recommended dosage. Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
