WHY WE STOCK IT
A high-potency, single-ingredient vitamin C supplement providing 1,000 mg of ascorbic acid in one convenient capsule. Vitamin C supports immune function, collagen production and wound healing while acting as an antioxidant that helps protect cells against oxidative damage.
 
The large 300-capsule format provides approximately ten months of daily supplementation.
 
BEST FOR
Adults seeking a straightforward, high-dose vitamin C supplement without added herbs, flavours or sweeteners.
 
Vitamin C contributes to the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums and helps the body absorb dietary iron. A 1,000 mg capsule supplies substantially more than the daily dietary requirement and may not be necessary for everyone with a vitamin C–rich diet.
 
HOW TO TAKE IT
Adults 18 years and older: Take 1 capsule daily, with or without food, or as directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.
 
Swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush, blend or open it. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose unless instructed by a healthcare practitioner.
Taking it with food may reduce stomach discomfort.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you:
Have kidney disease or a history of calcium-oxalate kidney stones
Have hemochromatosis, thalassemia or another iron-overload condition
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Take warfarin or another anticoagulant
Are receiving chemotherapy, radiation therapy or another cancer treatment
Take another supplement containing a high dose of vitamin C
 
Vitamin C increases iron absorption, which may be undesirable for people with iron-overload disorders.
 
Possible adverse effects include nausea, heartburn, abdominal cramping or diarrhea. Reduce the dose or stop use if digestive symptoms develop.
 
The adult tolerable upper intake level from all sources is 2,000 mg daily.
 
Consider vitamin C from multivitamins, drink powders and other supplements when calculating your total intake.
 
High-dose vitamin C may interfere with certain blood, urine and glucose-monitoring tests. Tell your pharmacist, physician and laboratory team that you take 1,000 mg daily, particularly before testing or if you use a blood-glucose meter.
 
Keep out of reach of children.
