NOW Vitamin C-1000 is a unique blend including rose hips and bioflavonoids which work synergistically
with vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system.
Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue)
and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health. Vitamin C is needed for amino acid
metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic
acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body's cells and
molecules from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules generated
during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors. This unique blend
includes rose hips and bioflavonoids which work synergistically with vitamin C.
