C-1000 with Rose Hips by NOW provides 1,000 mg of Vitamin C per tablet alongside Rose Hips and a Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex, delivering broad-spectrum antioxidant support and immune function maintenance in a single daily tablet.
Key Benefits of Vitamin C with Rose Hips
- Immune Function Support — Vitamin C plays a central role in maintaining the body's natural immune response, supporting white blood cell activity and overall immune system function.
- Antioxidant Protection — As a potent water-soluble antioxidant, Vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals that can compromise cellular integrity and accelerate oxidative stress.
- Collagen Synthesis Support — Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in the biosynthesis of collagen, the structural protein that maintains the integrity of skin, joints, connective tissue, and bones.
- Rose Hips Synergy — Rose Hips Powder (25 mg) provides naturally occurring bioflavonoids and phytonutrients that complement Vitamin C's antioxidant activity and bioavailability.
- Bioflavonoid Complex Enhancement — Citrus bioflavonoids work in concert with Vitamin C to support vascular integrity and optimize the absorption and utilization of ascorbic acid at the cellular level.
Vitamin C is water-soluble and not synthesized by the human body, making consistent daily intake essential for maintaining optimal physiological function. The inclusion of Rose Hips and a Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex in this formula creates a synergistic matrix that supports Vitamin C's bioavailability and extends its antioxidant activity beyond what isolated ascorbic acid alone provides. This combination reflects a whole-food-aligned approach to Vitamin C supplementation, grounded in the way these compounds naturally co-occur in plant sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of Vitamin C in immune function?
Vitamin C supports multiple components of the immune system, including the production and function of white blood cells. It also maintains the skin's barrier function, which serves as the body's first line of defense against environmental stressors.
Rose Hips are a natural source of bioflavonoids and phytonutrients that complement Vitamin C's antioxidant activity. Research suggests that bioflavonoids may enhance the absorption and retention of Vitamin C in tissues, making the combination more effective than ascorbic acid alone.
How does Vitamin C support skin and joint health?
Vitamin C is a required cofactor for collagen synthesis — the structural protein that maintains the elasticity and integrity of skin, cartilage, and connective tissue. Consistent daily intake supports the body's ongoing collagen production processes.
How does "sustained release" change the effectiveness?
Absorption optimization is the primary goal; because Vitamin C is water-soluble and quickly cleared by the body, a slow-release tablet helps maintain higher plasma levels for a longer duration than immediate-release formats.

Yes — C-1000 with Rose Hips by NOW is certified Vegetarian/Vegan. The tablet coating is plant-derived, and no animal-sourced ingredients are used in the formulation or manufacturing process.
