NOW Vitamin C-1000 was specially formulated to provide a sustained release of vitamin C and includes
rose hips as an added source of 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. Take one tablet daily.
