Description
NOW pairs a gram of vitamin C with 100 mg of bioflavonoids, the plant compounds found alongside vitamin C in citrus. The version sold here is made in Canada by the family-owned company.
What the label says
From NOW’s listing:
- Vegetarian/vegan capsule with 100 mg of bioflavonoids.
- Vitamin C is described as essential for collagen production and for skin, bone and joint health.
- Suggested use: 1 capsule daily.
- NPA A-rated GMP certification.
- Made in Canada by a family-owned company.
How it compares
One capsule gives 1,000 mg plus bioflavonoids, a pairing also found in the Thorne Vitamin C with Flavonoids. With 100 capsules it covers just over three months. Because it is made in Canada, an NPN should appear on the label image on Amazon.ca.
Blends that combine vitamin C with other nutrients such as zinc, vitamin D, bioflavonoids or rose hips can simplify a routine, but they make it easier to double up. Before adding one, list everything else you take and check that the combined amounts stay sensible.
Who it may suit
People who want a one-capsule daily routine and like the idea of a citrus-style blend will find this simple to use.
Tips for taking vitamin C
If plain vitamin C upsets your stomach, take it with a meal. Splitting a larger amount into a morning and an evening dose is a common way to make it easier to tolerate. Keep your total from all sources under 2,000 mg a day for adults, the tolerable upper intake level set out by Health Canada and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. People with a history of kidney stones should be cautious with high-dose vitamin C, and a pharmacist can check it against any medication you take.
