About Nature’s Sunshine Vitamin C Time Release

Your body depends on vitamin C for numerous essential functions, yet it cannot produce this vital nutrient on its own. Nature’s Sunshine Vitamin C Time Release delivers a powerful 1,000mg dose of vitamin C in an advanced time-release formula designed to provide steady, sustained nutrition throughout your day. This carefully engineered supplement ensures your body receives consistent vitamin C support when it needs it most.

Unlike regular vitamin C supplements that can be quickly eliminated from your system, this time-release technology provides a steady flow of nutrients over approximately six hours. This extended-release approach allows your body to absorb and utilize vitamin C more efficiently, reducing waste and maximizing the benefits of each dose.

The Power of Enhanced Absorption

What makes this formula truly exceptional is its carefully crafted blend of complementary nutrients. Each tablet contains not just pure ascorbic acid, but also a proprietary 25mg blend of natural compounds that work synergistically with vitamin C. Rose hips provide natural vitamin C along with additional antioxidants, while acerola fruit extract contributes one of nature’s richest sources of natural vitamin C.

The inclusion of rutin, hesperidin, and lemon bioflavonoids creates a comprehensive antioxidant network. These bioflavonoids work alongside vitamin C to enhance its absorption and extend its antioxidant activity in your body. This natural partnership helps protect your cells from oxidative stress more effectively than vitamin C alone.

Your Daily Defense Against Free Radicals

As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals – unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging and various health concerns. Your immune system relies heavily on adequate vitamin C levels to function optimally. Vitamin C supports various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system, helping your body maintain its natural defenses.

The time-release formulation ensures that your immune system receives consistent support throughout the day, rather than experiencing the peaks and valleys associated with immediate-release supplements. This steady supply helps maintain optimal tissue levels of vitamin C, supporting collagen formation, wound healing, and overall tissue integrity.

Quality You Can Trust

Nature’s Sunshine has formulated this supplement without sugar, starch, artificial colorings, or flavorings, making it suitable for those seeking clean, natural nutrition. The special time-release coating is derived from natural sources and designed to withstand stomach acid, ensuring the vitamin C reaches your intestines where it can be properly absorbed.

Each tablet provides 1,111% of the Daily Value for vitamin C, giving your body ample resources to support its many vitamin C-dependent processes. Whether you’re looking to support your immune system, maintain healthy skin and connective tissues, or enhance your body’s antioxidant defenses, this comprehensive formula provides reliable, sustained nutrition.

Recommended Usage

Take 1 tablet daily with a meal for optimal absorption and to minimize any potential stomach sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes time-release vitamin C better than regular vitamin C?

Time-release vitamin C provides a steady, sustained release of the nutrient over approximately 6 hours, allowing your body to absorb and utilize it more efficiently. Since vitamin C is water-soluble and quickly eliminated from the body, the time-release formula helps maintain consistent blood levels throughout the day, reducing waste and maximizing benefits.

Why are bioflavonoids included in this formula?

Bioflavonoids like rutin, hesperidin, and those found in rose hips and acerola work synergistically with vitamin C to enhance its absorption and extend its antioxidant activity. These natural compounds help create a more comprehensive antioxidant network and may improve the overall effectiveness of vitamin C in your body.

Is 1,000mg of vitamin C safe to take daily?

Yes, 1,000mg of vitamin C is well within safe limits for most adults. The tolerable upper intake level for vitamin C is 2,000mg per day. However, if you have specific health conditions or take medications, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

When is the best time to take this supplement?

Take one tablet daily with a meal to optimize absorption and minimize any potential stomach sensitivity. Taking vitamin C with food helps buffer the acidity and can improve tolerance, especially for those with sensitive stomachs.

Can I take this if I'm already eating vitamin C-rich foods?

Yes, you can safely combine this supplement with vitamin C-rich foods in your diet. Since vitamin C is water-soluble, excess amounts are typically eliminated through urine. However, getting vitamin C from both food sources and supplements can help ensure you maintain optimal levels throughout the day.
