Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C donates electrons to support antioxidant defences and is a cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen formation and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Caution: High intakes may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food and consider reducing dose if stomach upset occurs.
Rose hips (Rosa canina fruit)
Rose hips provide natural vitamin C and polyphenols that may contribute additional antioxidant activity.
Caution: May interact with very high vitamin C intake and could increase gastrointestinal sensitivity in some individuals.
How they work together
Ascorbic acid provides a direct, high-dose source of vitamin C for antioxidant and collagen-related enzymes, while rose hips add plant polyphenols that may complement oxidative stress support over the sustained-release period.
