That combination positions it as a long-supply, higher-potency option within NOW's tablet lineup, aimed at people who want fewer doses spread out over the day rather than an immediate-release format.

Frequently asked questions

What does 'sustained release' mean here?

It means the tablet is designed to release its vitamin C gradually over time rather than all at once. This describes the formulation, not a medical outcome.

How does this compare to the non-sustained-release 1,000 mg options?

The core vitamin C dose is similar to other 1,000 mg products in this lineup, but this one specifically uses a sustained-release tablet design and includes rose hips.

Is it allergen-free?

The label states it's allergen-free, though anyone with specific sensitivities should still review the full ingredient list themselves before buying.
