Sustained Release C1000 Ascorbic Acid
What it is
It is formulated for sustained release, meaning the ascorbic acid is intended to be absorbed by the body over an extended period. The 'C1000' indicates a dosage of 1000 milligrams per serving. It is typically found in tablet or capsule form.

This product is designed to be swallowed whole with water. It is generally recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in your system. Some people prefer to take it with food to minimize any potential stomach upset, although this is not always necessary. Always follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging or by a healthcare provider. Do not crush or chew the tablets or capsules, as this can interfere with the sustained-release mechanism.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike immediate-release ascorbic acid, which is absorbed quickly, sustained-release formulations are designed to provide a gradual release of the active ingredient. This can lead to a more prolonged presence of the compound in the body compared to a single, rapid dose.
Who it is for
Individuals looking to supplement their dietary intake of ascorbic acid may choose this product.
How to keep the rest
