Yamamoto® Nutrition’s Vitamin C 1000 is a dietary supplement that provides a concentrated source of vitamin C, one of the most important nutrients for the health of the immune system, bones, skin and other body tissues. The tablet contains a high dose of vitamin C, equivalent to 1000 mg of ascorbic acid.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble micronutrient that performs a number of crucial bodily functions. It is important for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that forms the structure of many parts of the body, including the skin, bones, tendons and blood vessels; it is a potent antioxidant, which helps protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress; it is also important for supporting the immune system, and can help prevent and fight infections. Vitamin C intake therefore has several health benefits:
-Supports the immune system and prevents and fights infections.
-Improves skin health, by promoting the synthesis of collagen, which forms the structure of connective tissue, skin and capillaries.
-Reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases, because it has an antioxidant action that helps protect the cells from free radicals.
-Improves gum health, has an anti-inflammatory effect and can prevent periodontal disease.
-Optimises iron absorption, which is especially important for those who follow a vegan diet or have an increased risk of developing anaemia.
-Improves brain function and reduces the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
-Promotes cardiovascular health, prevents inflammation and aids pulmonary function.
-Contributes to the metabolism of certain amino acids such as phenylalanine and tyrosine, which subsequently become hormones.
-Transforms inactive forms of folic acid into their active form (folinic acid) and can play a significant role in the metabolism of calcium.
-Protects thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin A and E from oxidation.
For whom is Vitamin C 1000 recommended?
Yamamoto Nutrition's Vitamin C 1000 dietary supplement can be an excellent solution for those who are deficient in this micronutrient, but also for those who have e low intake of fruit and vegetables, the main dietary sources of vitamin C. Taking Vitamin C 1000 can also be particularly useful for those who are exposed to physical or environmental stress, such as athletes or those living in polluted environments, in order to support the immune system and counteract the cell damage caused by free radicals.
**What are the symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency?
Vitamin C deficiency can cause a number of symptoms and health problems. The most common symptoms associated with vitamin C deficiency include:
-Fatigue and weakness: as vitamin C is important for energy production in the body, vitamin C deficiency can result in fatigue and weakness.
-Dry, chapped skin: Vitamin C is important for healthy skin, therefore a deficiency of this vitamin can result in dry, chapped and wrinkled skin.
-Anaemia: since vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, its deficiency can cause iron-deficiency anaemia.
-Frequent infections: vitamin C is important for the immune system and its deficiency can result in frequent or persistent infections.
Why can Vitamin C 1000 also be considered a valid _product for slowing the ageing process?**
Vitamin C 1000 can be considered a valid product for slowing ageing, i.e. a nutrient that helps counteract cellular ageing; this is because vitamin C plays an important role in several physiological processes that influence health and longevity.
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects cells from the damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. This is particularly important because the accumulation of oxidative stress has been associated with cell ageing and the onset of numerous chronic diseases.
Vitamin C is also necessary for the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein present in many parts of the body, such as skin, bones, tendons and blood vessels. With advancing age, collagen production decreases, which can lead to health problems such as loss of skin elasticity and brittle bones. Taking vitamin C can help maintain collagen production and improve the health of collagen-dependent body structures.

Our Advice
Our advice
There is no specific preferable time of day for taking Vitamin C 1000, as this micronutrient can be absorbed by the body effectively at any time. It is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it dissolves in water. However, there are some considerations that can be taken into account to maximise the absorption and utilisation of vitamin C: some experts suggest taking vitamin C with a meal or immediately after a meal, as this can help increase the assimilation of the nutrient and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea or diarrhoea.
Frequently asked questions
Is Vitamin C 1000 also suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets?
Yes, Vitamin C 1000 is suitable for vegans as the source of ascorbic acid used is of plant origin and the other ingredients used in the formulation of the supplement are of non-animal origin. Therefore, if you are vegan or have a plant-based diet, you can take Yamamoto Nutrition's Vitamin C 1000 without any problems or concerns.
Can I take Vitamin C 1000 with other supplements?
Vitamin C 1000 can usually be taken with other supplements without any problems. However, it should be pointed out that zinc supplements can reduce the absorption of vitamin C.
What are the recommended doses for Vitamin C?
The recommended doses for vitamin C vary according to age, sex, health and other individual factors. However, the general guidelines for minimum vitamin C intake include:
-
For adults, the recommended dose of vitamin C is about 75-90 mg per day for women and about 90 mg per day for men.
-
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, women have higher vitamin C requirements, and the recommended daily dose may be around 85-120 mg per day.
-
For smokers, vitamin C requirements may be higher due to increased oxidative stress. In these cases, the recommended daily dose may be around 100-125 mg per day.
-
Some experts suggest taking increased doses of vitamin C to gain additional health benefits, such as supporting the immune system, preventing ageing or reducing the risk of chronic diseases. In these cases, doses can vary from 250 mg per day up to 1000 mg or more per day.
I eat oranges and drink juice every day. Can I also take Vitamin C 1000?
Oranges and juice are a great way to source the vitamin C needed to support the health of the immune system, skin and bones. However, although the intake of vitamin C from natural sources such as oranges and juice is a good habit, it can be difficult to obtain high doses of vitamin C from diet alone.
Taking Vitamin C 1000 can be a useful addition to your diet because it provides a concentrated source of vitamin C, which can be especially useful if you are exposed to physical or environmental stress or if you need extra immune system support.
