One of the most important benefits of taking Vitamin C Plus Rose Hips is the increased antioxidant support provided for the body. Rose hips also contain significant amounts of vitamin A as well as biologically valuable bioflavinoids which are important in building and strengthening the vascular system. Citrus fruits, usually cited as the best natural source of Vitamin C, have them too but in the bitter white under-peel that is usually not eaten.

Are you taking the right kind of Vitamin C?

Majority of vitamin C supplements on the market are synthetic forms of vitamin C and mostly contain ascorbic acid or ascorbate.  These are laboratory-produced ingredients and are NOT natural C complex vitamins.

Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins that you would need because it is essential for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin which means that your body doesn’t store it. Our main source for Vitamin C would be the fruits and vegetables we eat. In most cases, the vitamins we get from the food we eat isn’t enough which is why it is important that you supplement your diet with this important anti-oxidant. Low levels of Vitamin C have been associated with a number of conditions including high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, stroke, some cancers, and atherosclorosis (the build-up plaque in blood vessels that can lead to heart attack and stroke). Getting enough Vitamin C in your diet by eating lots of fruit and vegetables may help reduce the risk of developing some of these conditions.

What are Rose hips?

Rose hips are the small bauble-like fruits that grow on the rose plant after it blossoms. They resemble pomegranate fruits or small tomatoes growing at the tip of the stem and are usually reddish or orange in color. Rose hips are extremely high in Vitamin C and contain beta carotene, bioflavinoids, and considerable pectin – a soluble form of fiber which helps prevent intestinal cancers, lowers saturated fats and triglycerides, helps control blood pressure and is good for the heart.

PureandHealthy’s C Plus Rose Hips

PureandHealthy by Nu-ture offers vitamin C products composed of pure, all-natural ingredients, known (based on the best research available) to provide the most effective forms and dosages of this amazing nutrient. Our 500 mg tablets make it easy for you to conveniently get the benefits derived from high dosages of L-ascorbic acid that offer additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. 

The health benefits of vitamin C as we know them now are the ones that L-ascorbic acid possesses. Together with flavonoids, polyphenolics, and water insoluble compounds like alpha-tocopherol or vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid contributes to free radical scavenging in the human diet. On the other hand, studies have cited that D-ascorbic has no biological activity and is consistently less effective than L-ascorbic acid over a wide range of concentration.

Rose hips are said to be the best source of vitamin C, with as much as 50% more vitamin C than oranges, making it an excellent immune system booster.

Recommended Dosage

Vitamin C is one of the safest supplements to take, since it has been found to be both non-toxic and non-immunogenic. There are generally no problems associated with taking vitamin C regularly. The US Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is 90 mg/day for an adult male, and 75 mg/day for an adult female; 85 mg/day for pregnant women over 18 years; 120 mg/day for breastfeeding women over 18 years. A higher intake may be recommended for some individuals who have health conditions that may require more of the vitamin. For such cases, we suggest that you consult your physician.

PureandHealthy by Nu-ture offers a higher dosage of vitamin C than is normally recommended, but it is still safely within the upper limit of intake (UL), which was set by the Institute of Medicine at 2,000 mg/day for men and women to prevent diarrhea and gastrointestinal disturbances. This is to safely accommodate the needs of both healthy individuals who need only the RDA and those who have been advised by their physicians to take more. As with any other supplement or medication, it is best to consult your doctor before taking anything.

General Recommendations

It is recommended that health supplements be taken with meals, as there is a greater risk of irritation when taken on an empty or full stomach. For large doses of a single nutrient, it is better to split it up into smaller doses so as not to interfere with the absorption of other nutrients in food.
