Vitamin C is a popular vitamin supplement, mostly because of its important impact on our immune system. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that must be supplied through the diet and/or via dietary supplements as the body cannot produce it on its own.
Time release
Because vitamin C is water-soluble, high doses at one and the same time can be difficult for the body to absorb, i.e. some is absorbed and the rest is passed out. When you get to higher doses of 1000 mg per tablet, slow excretion is desirable, then the body has the opportunity to absorb more of the vitamin over time.
Elexir Vitamin C 1000 mg Time Release is released slowly for up to 8 hours. You can therefore take the tablet in the morning and have a continuous uptake throughout the working day!
The vitamin C in the tablet is in the form of granules that dissolve slowly in the intestine, which gives the body many small doses over time instead of a single large dose.
Vitamin C Time Release is also supplemented with bioflavonoids from buckwheat and acerola and rosehip powder.
The functions of vitamin C in the body are many! Vitamin C contributes to:
- The normal functioning of the immune system.
