Description
Thorne’s formula combines vitamin C with citrus flavonoids from oranges, which the brand describes as the way the two occur together in nature. It is a premium brand with a strong focus on testing.
How it compares
The listing does not state the milligrams per capsule, so check the supplement facts in the images on Amazon.ca. Compared with the NOW C-1000 with bioflavonoids, Thorne is usually the more premium choice; value per serving depends on the dose, so compare servings, not bottles.
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.

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.
