FAQ
- How much vitamin C should I take?
The amount of vitamin C you need depends on your age, diet, and health goals. Most healthy adults need between 75 mg and 90 mg of vitamin C daily from food and supplements combined. However, many vitamin C supplements provide higher amounts, ranging from 250 mg to 1,000 mg per serving. If you're considering a higher-dose supplement, it's a good idea to consult your healthcare provider to determine what's appropriate for your individual needs. - Can you take too much vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means your body uses what it needs and excretes the excess. However, taking very large amounts may cause unwanted side effects in some people. Common side effects of excessive vitamin C intake can include upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea or abdominal cramps. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for adults is 2,000 mg per day. If you're considering high-dose vitamin C supplementation, talk with your healthcare provider first, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or certain medical conditions. - How is timed-release vitamin C different from regular vitamin C?
Timed-release vitamin C is designed to release vitamin C gradually over several hours, rather than all at once. This slow-release delivery helps provide a steady supply of vitamin C throughout the day and may reduce the need for multiple servings. - Why choose a timed-release vitamin C supplement?
Many people choose timed-release vitamin C for its convenience. Because the vitamin is released gradually, it can help support consistent vitamin C intake throughout the day in a single serving. - Why does this vitamin C formula include rose hips?
Swanson C-1000 with Rose Hips combines vitamin C with rose hips, a fruit naturally rich in bioflavonoids and antioxidant compounds. Rose hips are traditionally paired with vitamin C because their complementary phytonutrients help support the body's antioxidant defenses and may enhance the overall benefits of vitamin C. - Is this timed-release vitamin C supplement suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
Swanson Timed-Release C-500 vitamin C supplement is non-GMO, making it a great choice for consumers seeking products made without genetically modified ingredients. However, it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
