For adults who want to top up their vitamin C intake with a single capsule a day, for example during regular intensive training. According to the manufacturer, not recommended for persons under 18.

What is in one capsule?

Each capsule provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C from L-ascorbic acid. This corresponds to 1,250% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).

Besides this, the capsule contains only rice bran extract as an anti-caking agent; the shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a cellulose derivative of plant origin.

Vitamin C in everyday life

The body can neither produce vitamin C itself nor store it for long, so it has to be taken in regularly with food. Good sources include peppers, broccoli, citrus fruits and blackcurrants.

The DGE gives reference values for adults of 110 mg per day for men and 95 mg per day for women.

How to take it

One capsule a day with plenty of fluid is enough. According to the manufacturer, it is easy to take with a main meal. A tub of 120 capsules therefore lasts around four months.
