Vitamin C is on of the best ways to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and it also acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin C must be consumed in copious quantities to maintain good health and supplementation is necessary, as the average human does not eat the quantities of fruits and vegetables to fully get the Vitamin C to maintain optimal health. Several studies show that Vitamin C helps -It is an essential component of many enzyme reactions that happen in the body which help in the development and the well being of many vital organs and in immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling. - Many studies have indicated that higher blood levels of Vitamin C could lower the risk of death from all types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. - Vitamin C has also shown to be effective in reducing the severity and the duration of the common cold. How much Vitamin C is needed? Most of the research and supplement recommend taking 500 mgs of Vitamin C to achieve health results but there is no adverse reactions from taking more. The 1000 mg is thus perfect for for our consumption. The normal RDA is 75-90 mgs a day and unless you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables it would be hard to get all the required. According to WebMd, we would have to get here are all the foods and beverages you'd need to consume to reach 500 milligrams (mg): Cantaloupe, 1 cup (8 ounces): 59mg Orange juice, 1 cup: 97mg Broccoli, cooked, 1 cup: 74mg Red cabbage, 1/2 cup: 40mg Green pepper, 1/2 cup, 60mg Red pepper, 1/2 cup, 95mg Kiwi, 1 medium: 70mg Tomato juice, 1 cup: 45mg. So the pill is perfect and it combined with Rose hip, which is one of the richest plant sources of Vitamin C and Lycopene- which reduces the dangerous LDL.

Rose hips are the round portion of the rose flower just below the petals. Rose hips contain the seeds of the rose plant. Dried rose hips and the seeds are used together to make medicine. Fresh rose hips contain a lot of vitamin C, so they share many uses with vitamin C including preventing and treating colds, flu, and vitamin C deficiencies. However, much of the vitamin C in rose hips is destroyed during drying and processing and also declines rapidly during storage. Because of this, many rose hip-derived "natural" vitamin C products have actually been fortified with lab-made vitamin C, but their labels may not always say so. Rose hips are also used for stomach disorders including stomach spasms, stomach acid deficiency, preventing stomach irritation and ulcers, and as a "stomach tonic" for intestinal diseases. They are also used for diarrhea, constipation, gallstones, gallbladder ailments, lower urinary tract and kidney disorders, fluid retention (dropsy or edema), gout, back and leg pain (sciatica), diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, high blood pressure, chest ailments, fever, increasing immune function during exhaustion, increasing blood flow in the limbs, increasing urine flow and quenching thirst. In foods and in manufacturing, rose hips are used for tea, jam, soup, and as a natural source of vitamin C.

excellent great quality

Great source of vitamin c at a fair price

I have no idea if this is doing anything for me but I trust that it is. I like that there's one pill per serving. I am so sick of vitamins where it's labeled "1000mg" but then the fine print says "One serving of six pills= 1000mg" or something, y'know? It's easy to figure out how many to take and less hassle to swallow them all, with a nice simple 1000mg pill, & easier to calculate how long a bottle will last. I do believe the extra stuff in these helps the VitC absorb better but I'm no nutritionist. The price is good. It has a flip-top so they're easy to get out. I'm pleased. I'll likely buy these again.

Most people are unaware that YOU CAN NOT OVERDOSE ON VITAMIN C PERIOD. That being said, the body, if given too much vitamin C, will have a reaction in the form of mild to medium diarrhea. If that does happen then drop dose by 1/4 and that is your bodies safe max level. You would have to be in the 15,000 to 40,000 mg range before that would happen. Fact: Vitamin C, in the presence of cancer cells, becomes an Oxydator that Will kill those cells. There are 3 primary things that effect the body. 1) Fungi, 2)Virus' 3)Bacterial. Vitamin C, in the presence of these issues becomes an Oxydator and keeps them at bay. Vitamin C is water soliable and must be taken throughout the day. Use the Vitamin C with Rose Hip, it helps to retain more of the C during release. I take 10,000 mg daily and I don't keep a cold, when they do come on, more than a few hours. Read up on Dr. Linus Pauling, 2 time Nobel Peace Prize Recipient. He, Dr. Abram Hoffer and Dr. Max Gerson, (Read about Dr. Max Gerson and his Life Saving, Proven Cure against cancer with Case Studies), have proven the Absolute healing effects of this Vitamin, as well as many ohers. You can read all about this information at orthomolecular.org They even have list of doctors worldwide who are Ortho Molecular specialist that truely treat your whole body with, near, no pharmaseuticals. The Corporate pharmacy monsters do not care about your health. Do yourself a favor and start Really Studying on subjects like Ortho Molecular medicine, Hollistic Medicines, Homiopathic medicine, The Endocrine System (especially the Thyroid Gland. I chose Dr. David Brownstein, leading expert in his book: Overcoming Thyroid Disorders. Near 80% of All Americans are walking around with an abnormal thyroid gland. Doctors today are being trained to ignore our sympthoms and reley on lab results.They are loosing their ability to know the symptoms). Get back to the basics of life and escape this crazy illusion of Corporate Dictatorship. Ask yourself this. Why are boys growing breast and some being born with no genitils? Why are girls becoming physically more masculine? Why is Cancer up 5,000% since the 50's in most cases and 20,000% in a few special cases? We have all these walks for the Cure, but never do we ask "hey, why is Cancer up all over the place?" Fight Cancer by fighting ignorance. The AMA (American Medical Association) doesn't care about your health. They are, and have been for some time now, a Eugenics Political system. Please do yourself a favor and Look up The Beginings of Euginics and the people who have pushed this Antihumanistic view on the poor and ill. Look, get healthy by getting informed and being responsible for Yourself. No Sheeple in 2014!!! LOL Watch "What in the world are they spraying" then the second one "Why in the world are they spraying". It's Free on YouTube. Enjoy the Vitamin C

If you take vitamin C these are a quality product. I like the rose hips included in the mix. I’ve been taking them for years and I firmly believe they help prevent getting colds in the winter. At most I get 1 a season despite being exposed at work etc.

Excellent product. I have been using this product since mid August and this product provides a great way to build collagen. If you need to build collagen (nosebleeds or bleeding in general), this could be an excellent supplement. As always, if you are currently talking other medication, please consult your physician prior to use. In general, with most of my other natural supplements, there appears to be no side effects although watch the dosage and do not exceed your daily dosage. While I originally purchased this product for building collagen, another beneficial side effect has been the ability to fight infection, cold and flu. In the past when I had the flu, I would be sick for a prolonged period with sneezing, coughing and generally be ridden with flu symptoms. So, in addition to nosebleeds and bleeding in general, a highly beneficial side effect has been the ability to fight the flu and the common cold. While I understand that past performance is not an indication of future performance, as I stand currently, I am highly positive about Vitamin C in general and it's beneficial effects on one's health.
