Many ordinary Vitamin C supplements only offer isolated ascorbic acid that passes quickly through your system. Solaray C-1000 With RH, Acerola, Bioflavonoids supplies pure Vitamin C accompanied by the same natural plant compounds found in fresh citrus and wild berries. This gives you a balanced, easy-to-digest daily formula that fuels your immune system, strengthens joint tissue, and keeps your energy resilient.
In nature, Vitamin C never appears as a lonely molecule. In fresh fruits like oranges and berries, Vitamin C is naturally wrapped inside bioflavonoids, fruit acids, and plant nutrients. Here is how each ingredient in C-1000 With RH, Acerola, Bioflavonoids works together to help your body get the most out of every dose:
1. High-Potency Ascorbic Acid (The Core Engine)
Ascorbic acid is the exact bio-identical form of Vitamin C your cells use to combat stress and rebuild tissue. Because human bodies cannot produce Vitamin C internally, we must get it from food or supplementation every day. A full 1,000 mg serving provides a generous daily foundation to keep your cells saturated and ready for physical or seasonal challenges.
Rose hips are the nutrient-rich seed pods left after wild roses drop their petals, and Acerola is a tropical superfruit packing up to 30 times more natural Vitamin C than an orange. These real whole-food extracts provide natural fruit acids and bio-trace minerals that help buffer the natural acidity of Vitamin C, making each capsule much gentler on sensitive stomachs.
3. Citrus Bioflavonoid Concentrate (50 mg)
Bioflavonoids are specialized antioxidants extracted from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits. You can think of bioflavonoids as "bodyguards" for Vitamin C: they shield delicate vitamin molecules from breaking down prematurely in your gut, slow down how fast your kidneys flush them out, and assist in transporting Vitamin C across cellular walls.
How Vitamin C Works Inside Your Body Every Day
Vitamin C is not just a seasonal cold remedy; it is an essential nutrient running through your system all day. Here are three major biological jobs that require a steady daily supply:
✓ Armoring Your White Blood Cells
Your white blood cells are the front-line soldiers of your immune system. When your body detects foreign intruders, these cells gather up to 80 times more Vitamin C inside themselves than is found in your bloodstream. As white blood cells do their job, they release chemical bursts that can harm healthy cells if they do not have enough antioxidant protection. Vitamin C acts like a personal shield so your immune cells can keep working strong.
✓ The Primary Spark Plug for Building Collagen
Collagen is the flexible glue that holds your skin, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and joints together. Your body cannot physically weave collagen fibers without Vitamin C present. Vitamin C activates the specific enzymes (prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase) that lock collagen strands into strong cords. Getting enough Vitamin C helps keep skin elastic, gum tissue healthy, and joints comfortably cushioned.
✓ Neutralizing Free Radicals & Recycling Other Antioxidants
Every breath, workout, and exposure to sunlight or exhaust creates unstable molecules called free radicals that can age and wear down cells. Vitamin C steps in to neutralize free radicals before they can harm delicate cell walls. Even better, Vitamin C partners with other nutrients: after Vitamin E and glutathione finish neutralizing cellular waste, Vitamin C recycles them back to life so they can protect you again.
At VitaNet ® LLC, we stand behind nutritional education grounded in real science. The benefits and mechanisms discussed on this page reflect peer-reviewed medical and nutritional research:
Citrus Bioflavonoid Bioavailability: Vinson, J. A., & Bose, P. (1988). Comparative bioavailability to humans of ascorbic acid alone or in a citrus extract. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 48(3), 601–604.
Clinical Finding: In human subjects, ascorbic acid formulated alongside a citrus bioflavonoid complex was absorbed more slowly, stayed in the blood stream longer, and exhibited ~35% greater total bioavailability than plain ascorbic acid.
Immune Cellular Activity: Carr, A. C., & Maggini, S. (2017). Vitamin C and Immune Function. Nutrients, 9(11), 1211.
Clinical Finding: Vitamin C actively accumulates in neutrophils and phagocytes, supporting microbial clearance and protecting host tissues against excessive oxidative damage during immune defense.
Collagen Synthesis & Tissue Repair: Pullar, J. M., Carr, A. C., & Vissers, M. C. (2017). The Roles of Vitamin C in Skin Health. Nutrients, 9(8), 866.
Clinical Finding: Vitamin C serves as an indispensable enzymatic cofactor for collagen stabilization, promoting healthy skin elasticity, capillary integrity, and wound recovery.
Intake Guidelines & Daily Tolerability: National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements. Vitamin C: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals.
Authoritative Finding: Identifies regular dietary baselines and establishes a 2,000 mg/day Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for healthy adults, confirming that 1,000 mg daily is well within safe, well-tolerated supplementation levels.

Frequently Asked Questions About C-1000 With RH, Acerola, Bioflavonoids
1. Why are Rose Hips and Acerola Cherry added to this Vitamin C formula?
Rose Hips and Acerola Cherry are two of the richest natural plant sources of Vitamin C on earth. Instead of supplying only isolated ascorbic acid, these whole-fruit extracts provide natural bioflavonoids, trace minerals, and plant enzymes that mirror how Vitamin C occurs in fresh food, assisting stomach tolerance and nutrient uptake.
2. What do Citrus Bioflavonoids do for absorption?
Citrus bioflavonoids are natural antioxidants extracted from citrus rinds. Clinical studies show that bioflavonoids protect Vitamin C from breaking down too quickly in the body, which helps elevate blood levels and prolongs how long the vitamin remains active in your tissues.
3. Is taking 1,000 mg of Vitamin C daily safe?
Yes. Because Vitamin C is water-soluble, your body uses what it needs and naturally eliminates the rest in urine. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) sets the safe upper intake limit for adults at 2,000 mg per day. A single 1,000 mg VegCap is well within safe, clinically recognized daily amounts.
4. Will this formula upset my stomach?
While unbuffered ascorbic acid pills can feel sharp on an empty stomach, Solaray C-1000 pairs its ascorbic acid with natural botanical buffers (Rose Hips and Acerola) and packs them in an easily digestible vegetable capsule with organic rice extract. Taking it with a meal ensures comfortable digestion.
5. Are these capsules 100% vegan?
Yes. The capsules are made entirely from plant-derived vegetable cellulose. No animal gelatin, beef, or pork ingredients are used anywhere in the product.
6. How does Vitamin C support healthy skin and flexible joints?
Vitamin C is an essential co-factor that your body uses to assemble collagen fibers. Without adequate Vitamin C, your body cannot maintain strong, elastic skin or rebuild cartilage and tendon tissue in your joints.
