about this product.

Vitamin C-1000 by NOW Foods is a high-dose ascorbic acid supplement providing 1,000 mg of vitamin C per tablet. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that the body cannot synthesise on its own, making consistent dietary or supplemental intake essential. It contributes to normal immune function, supports collagen synthesis — relevant for skin, connective tissue, and wound repair — and helps reduce oxidative stress by neutralising free radicals.

This tablet suits a range of people: those with low dietary intake of fruit and vegetables, individuals in periods of high physiological stress such as illness or intense exercise, smokers (who have notably higher vitamin C turnover), and anyone who has confirmed suboptimal status through a blood test. At 1,000 mg per dose, it sits at the higher end of supplemental intake; those with sensitive stomachs may prefer to take it with food, as high-dose ascorbic acid can cause gastric discomfort on an empty stomach.

NOW Foods is a long-established supplement manufacturer with a broad portfolio and a reputation for straightforward, no-frills formulations. This is a practical, well-priced entry point for anyone looking to maintain adequate vitamin C status year-round or to increase intake during periods of greater demand.

Vitamin C 1000mg

how to take it

i.

Take 1 tablet daily, preferably with a meal to reduce the chance of gastric discomfort. Follow the dosage guidance on the packaging, and consult a clinician before exceeding the recommended dose consistently.

frequently asked.

Why take 1,000 mg rather than a lower-dose supplement?

The 1,000 mg dose is relevant when dietary intake is consistently low, during illness, periods of intense exercise, or for smokers, whose vitamin C turnover is higher than average. For people with adequate diets, a lower dose may suffice — it is worth reviewing your intake before choosing a dose.

Can I take this on an empty stomach?

High-dose ascorbic acid can cause stomach discomfort in some people when taken without food. Taking the tablet with a meal generally reduces this risk.

Is it safe to take long-term?

Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is excreted in urine rather than stored. That said, consistently high doses may increase the risk of kidney stones in susceptible individuals. If you have a history of kidney stones, speak to a clinician before supplementing at this dose.

How long before I notice a difference?

Vitamin C works as an ongoing nutritional support rather than a fast-acting intervention. If you have been genuinely deficient, improvements in energy and skin health may become apparent over several weeks, though individual response varies.

Who should avoid this supplement?

People with haemochromatosis (iron overload) should use high-dose vitamin C with caution, as it enhances iron absorption. Those with kidney disease or a history of oxalate kidney stones should consult a clinician before use.

The first adrenal support that made a quick difference.

4 days ago

Gentle on a sensitive stomach, and I feel like myself again. I had tried two other glandulars before this and neither sat right.

MRVerified Buyer

Steadier mornings within a fortnight.

1 week ago

I was sceptical about glandulars, but my mid-afternoon crash has genuinely eased. One capsule with breakfast and I forget about it.

ALVerified Buyer

Subtle, but real.

2 weeks ago

Not a stimulant, which is exactly what I wanted. It took about ten days, then I realised I wasn’t dreading the afternoon any more.

SKVerified Buyer

My clinician recommended it.

3 weeks ago

Bought after a blood panel flagged a flat cortisol curve. Easy to take, no jitters, and the sourcing is refreshingly transparent.

TPVerified Buyer

Recovery feels faster.

1 month ago

Training hard through a stressful stretch and this has helped me bounce back between sessions. Already on my second bottle.

DVVerified Buyer

Does what it says.

1 month ago

No frills, one ingredient, a sensible dose. I appreciate that it is designed to be used for a season rather than forever.
