Vitamin C capsules to support increased requirements

The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule. Take it with a glass of water and preferably with a meal – this can help with tolerability. There is no requirement to take it at a fixed time; what is most important is regular intake that fits in with your everyday routine.

Each capsule provides 1000 mg of vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid.

The NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) is a uniform EU-wide reference value for the average daily requirement of an adult. 1250% means that one capsule provides significantly more than this reference value – this is normal and intended for high-dose preparations like this, and is not an indication of an "overdose" in the medical sense.

1000 mg per capsule is a high dose – around 12.5 times the general nutrient reference value. Vitamin C is water-soluble, which means that what the body does not need is excreted via the kidneys. Stick to the recommended daily dose of 1 capsule. According to the manufacturer, long-term intake significantly above the recommended amount can lead to gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhoea, and the risk of kidney stones can increase. Whether 1000 mg is suitable for your personal situation cannot be assessed here in general terms – if you are unsure, talking to a doctor or pharmacist will help.

For people with an increased need for vitamin C – for example, due to dietary habits, lifestyle or age – a higher dose, such as 1000 mg daily, can be a practical way of meeting their needs with a single capsule. 

Whether this makes sense for you personally depends on your individual diet and your actual needs. 

A nutritionist or your GP will be able to help you with any questions you may have about your personal needs. 

According to the product information, the capsules can be taken daily if necessary, as long as the recommended daily dose of 1 capsule is adhered to. 

There is no general maximum duration – many users integrate the product into their routine on a permanent basis. 

If you are unsure whether long-term use is suitable for you, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has scientifically confirmed that vitamin C contributes, among other things, to the normal functioning of the immune system, to normal collagen formation (relevant for the skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage, teeth and gums), to normal energy metabolism, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This capsule provides 1000 mg of this per day and is therefore particularly suitable for people with increased requirements. 

Note: This product is available as a capsule, not as an effervescent tablet – however, the stated functions of vitamin C apply regardless of the dosage form. 

According to the EFSA, vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. 

A high-dose preparation like this can therefore be part of a needs-based vitamin C supply, for example when the need is increased due to stress, the cold season or an unbalanced diet. 

However, it is not a medicinal product, and the product is not intended to treat, alleviate or prevent colds. 

In the event of acute symptoms, please contact a doctor or pharmacist. 

L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (vegetable capsule shell), corn starch, coconut milk powder and a bamboo shoot extract with natural silica.

This product is primarily designed for adults. Different, usually lower, reference values for vitamin C intake apply for children as well as for pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is no general answer to whether and in what quantity such a high-dose preparation is suitable for these groups – please clarify this in advance with your paediatrician, gynaecologist or pharmacist.

This depends on individual needs, diet and other sources of vitamin C in everyday life. 

The 1000 mg capsule is particularly suitable for people with higher requirements, as it covers these with a single capsule. 

Those who prefer a lower or more finely adjustable dosage are often better advised to use a 500 mg product or to take the dose in divided portions. 

If you are unsure, a brief consultation with a nutritionist or pharmacist will help.

In general, vitamin C can be combined well with other vitamins and minerals. 

If you are taking several supplements, keep an eye on the total amount of the individual nutrients to avoid unintentional overdosing. 

If you take medication regularly, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist in advance.

No, there is no scientifically recognised or approved basis for this. 

The functions of vitamin C confirmed by the EFSA relate, among other things, to the immune system, energy metabolism, collagen formation and the protection of cells from oxidative stress – but not to targeted fat reduction. 

Diet and exercise are primarily crucial for weight management.

That depends on your personal criteria, such as purity, tolerability or origin. 

Our product scores highly with its high bioavailability, vegan formula and manufacture in Europe according to GMP standards.
