Vitamin C-500 with Rose Hips (Immunity, Collagen, Antioxidants) – Daily Support for Natural Defense, Firm Skin and Energy Metabolism

Vitamin C-500 with Rose Hips from Now Foods combines 500 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with 40 mg rose hip powder (Rosa canina), offering complete support for immune system, collagen synthesis, antioxidant protection and energy metabolism. Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in numerous biochemical pathways, participates in collagen formation, supports blood vessel, cartilage, bone and gum health, increases iron bioavailability non-hemic and contributes to oxidative response regulation. Rose hips add a natural complex of phytonutrients (bioflavonoids, polyphenols), which may favor absorption and potentiate antioxidant effects. The C-500 formula with rose hips is designed for daily use, for people who are active, exposed to oxidative stress or who want to maintain skin elasticity and balanced immunity throughout the year.

Detailed Benefits of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 500 mg with Rose Hips

• Immune system support and defense response

The immune system needs a constant supply of key micronutrients to function optimally. Vitamin C contributes to:
• Normal activity of immune cells (neutrophils, lymphocytes) and their efficient mobilization
• Synthesis and protection of factors that support mucosal barrier of respiratory and digestive tract
• Rapid regeneration of antioxidant environment, allowing cells to cope with oxidative stress associated with seasonal challenges
C-500 with rose hips supports balanced immune response, useful in busy periods, travel, seasonal transitions or when body is stressed.

• Collagen formation for skin, joints and blood vessels

Collagen is the "scaffold" of connective tissues, and vitamin C is an indispensable cofactor for proline hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, key enzymes in collagen maturation. Through 500 mg intake:
✅ Skin firmness and elasticity are supported
✅ Cartilage and joint integrity during effort is favored
✅ Vascular wall resistance is maintained, with impact on circulation and leg comfort
Well-structured collagen means more resilient tissues, more fluid mobility and more uniform skin appearance.

• Multiple antioxidant protection and antioxidant network "recycling"

Oxidative stress affects lipids, proteins and DNA. Vitamin C acts as electron donor, neutralizing free radicals and reactivating other endogenous antioxidants. In vitamin C presence:
✅ Vitamin E regeneration in lipid phase of membranes is supported
✅ Cellular antioxidant environment is stabilized in conditions of effort, pollution or stress
✅ Sensitive structures of eyes, skin and blood vessels are protected
This synergy helps body maintain healthy redox balance, essential for vitality and recovery.

• Energy metabolism and fatigue reduction

Vitamin C participates in normal functioning of energy metabolism, being involved in enzymatic pathways that support conversion of nutrients into usable energy. Optimal vitamin C status can contribute to:
• Reduction of fatigue sensation in demanding periods
• Support for mental clarity in prolonged activities
• Smoother transition between effort and recovery
Combination with rose hips offers complementary plant intake, suitable for active lifestyle.

• Support for iron absorption and daily vitality

Non-hemic iron from plant sources has lower absorption; vitamin C reduces it to ferrous form, easier to take up at intestinal level. Through constant C-500 intake:
✅ Iron status is supported in diets with reduced intake or in periods with increased need
✅ Normal hemoglobin production is supported, with impact on tissue oxygenation
✅ General vitality is favored, especially in people with predominantly plant-based diet
Efficient iron management means stable energy throughout the day.

• Gum, tooth and bone health

Collagen and proper mineralization are crucial for healthy smile and strong support system. Vitamin C contributes to:
• Gingival integrity and resistance of tooth support tissues
• Quality of organic matrix in bones, in synergy with minerals
• Maintenance of favorable oral environment, as part of general care routine
Through its role in collagen, vitamin C complements oral hygiene practices and nutrient intake for strong structures.

• Skin with luminous appearance and resilience to environmental factors

Exposure to sun, wind, pollutants and temperature changes stresses skin barrier. Vitamin C, alongside polyphenols from rose hips:
✅ Supports dermal fiber synthesis, with impact on firmness
✅ Helps limit oxidative stress at epidermal level
✅ Contributes to more uniform and supple skin appearance
Daily skin care routine is potentiated from within, supporting natural radiance.

• Balance in periods of stress and prolonged demands

Mental and physical stress can deplete antioxidant reserves. C-500 with rose hips:
• Quickly restores antioxidant "buffer" when demand increases
• Supports clarity and focus in long projects or travel
• Makes managing busy days easier, with short recovery breaks
This simple nutritional anchor is useful for professionals, students or people with unpredictable schedules.

• Role of rose hips (Rosa canina) in formula synergy

Rose hips are traditional source of phytonutrients, with polyphenols and bioflavonoids that can:
✅ Complete antioxidant protection in aqueous and lipid phase
✅ Support capillary integrity and circulatory comfort
✅ Contribute to gastric tolerance of formula, through gentle plant profile
In tandem with ascorbic acid, rose hip powder adds "finesse" and phytonutrient diversity.

• Versatility for diverse wellness objectives

Whether priority is seasonal immunity, firm skin, joint mobility or office energy, Vitamin C-500 with rose hips:
✅ Fits in simple or elaborate nutrition regimens
✅ Complements diets with high plant intake, for iron absorption
✅ Accompanies training programs, supporting recovery and tissue comfort
Coherent micronutrition approach makes difference between "getting through day" and "performing through day."

• Key mechanisms working together

This formula's strength derives from three complementary axes: collagen synthesis (for tissues), antioxidant protection (for cells) and metabolic support (for energy). Vitamin C activates collagen maturation enzymes, supports antioxidant recycling and supports iron absorption; rose hips add polyphenols that complete antioxidant shield. Together:
• Contribute to adaptable immune system
• Maintain integrity and elasticity of support structures
• Help body cope with daily stressors with greater ease

Vitamin C-500 with Rose Hips, Now Foods, with 500 mg ascorbic acid and 40 mg rose hip powder, is modern, balanced and versatile support for immunity, collagen and antioxidant protection, with benefits felt in skin, joints, energy and daily comfort.
