NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 Sustained Release 250 Tablets

NOW® Vitamin C-1000 Sustained Release delivers 1,000 mg of vitamin C with rose hips in a tablet designed to release the vitamin gradually over several hours. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble nutrient the body cannot make or store, so it must be replenished daily. It's best known as one of the body's most important antioxidants, helping neutralize the free radicals produced during normal metabolism and everyday exposures, and it plays a vital role in immune-system function. Vitamin C is also essential for the synthesis of collagen, the structural protein that supports healthy skin, blood vessels, cartilage and connective tissue.* Because vitamin C is water-soluble and not stored by the body, a sustained-release format helps maintain more steady levels throughout the day rather than a single quick peak followed by rapid excretion — an efficient way to get lasting benefit from each dose.*

Frequently asked questions

What does 'sustained release' mean?
The tablet releases the vitamin C gradually over several hours, helping maintain steadier levels since the body doesn't store it.*

Why does that matter for vitamin C?
Vitamin C is water-soluble and quickly excreted, so gradual release helps you get more lasting benefit from each dose.*

Is vitamin C water-soluble?
Yes — the body doesn't store it, so a daily supply from diet or supplements helps keep levels topped up.*
