Description
Nutricost is a value-focused American brand, and its vitamin C with rose hips follows that pattern: a simple formula and a very large bottle.
How it compares
One capsule a day at 1,000 mg is a lower dose than the Nature’s Bounty 1,500 mg rose hips tablet, and eight months per bottle usually means one of the best values per serving on this page. It is US-made, so check the label for a Canadian NPN.
Rose hips and citrus bioflavonoids are natural companions of vitamin C in food. In supplements, the amounts added are usually small next to the vitamin C itself, so the decision mostly comes down to dose, format and whether you value the addition enough to pay for it.
What the label says
According to Nutricost:
- 1,000 mg of vitamin C with 25 mg of rose hips per serving.
- 240 capsules per bottle, a 240-day supply.
- Supports immune health, collagen production and bone health.
- GMO-free and gluten-free.
- Made in an NSF-certified, GMP-compliant, FDA-registered facility.
Who it may suit
Budget-conscious buyers who take one capsule a day for months at a time will appreciate the count. If your interest is skin, our guide to vitamin C serums covers the topical side.
Tips for taking vitamin C
Count everything: a multivitamin, a drink mix and this product together can add up quickly, and the upper limit is 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. Taking servings with meals and spacing them out helps if you notice heartburn or loose stools. If you have had kidney stones, or you take prescription drugs, a quick conversation with your pharmacist is worthwhile.
