How much vitamin C do adults need, and is 1000mg too much?
Adults need around 40mg of vitamin C a day, which most people get from their diet. NHS guidance says taking less than 1000mg a day in supplement form is unlikely to cause harm, but taking more than that can cause stomach pain, diarrhoea or flatulence. This product's one-tablet daily dose provides 1000mg, so it should not be exceeded.
What is rose hips powder, and why is it included?
Rose hips are the fruit of the rose plant and are a natural source of vitamin C. Each tablet combines 62.5mg of rose hips powder with the standardised 1000mg vitamin C dose.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes. It's suitable for vegans, vegetarians and kosher diets. The tablet's glazing agents include vegetable glycerin, sourced from palm kernel oil and coconut oil rather than animal ingredients.
How long will one pack last?
Each pack contains 100 tablets. Taken at the labelled dose of one tablet a day, one pack provides just over three months' supply.

Usage and Instructions
As a food supplement for adults, take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the stated dose.
Warnings
This product provides 1000mg of vitamin C, the full amount NHS guidance considers unlikely to cause harm as a daily supplement dose, so the following precautions apply:
- Do not take more than the stated one-tablet daily dose; taking more than 1000mg of vitamin C a day may cause stomach pain, diarrhoea or flatulence.
- If you have haemochromatosis or another condition causing high iron levels, avoid this product; vitamin C increases iron absorption, and NHS guidance advises against vitamin C supplements in this condition.
- Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Side Effects
Vitamin C tablets are not associated with side effects when taken at the recommended dose. Taking more than 1000mg a day may cause digestive symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhoea or flatulence (see Warnings).
