Science & effects of vitamin C

Ascorbic acid is one of the best-known vitamins - and for good reason. Just one capsule containing 1000 mg of vitamin C provides you with a high dose of this essential vitamin. In the form of L-ascorbic acid, it is particularly well researched and has been established in the diet for decades.

It is scientifically proven that this important nutrient contributes to the normal function of the immune system [7][19], to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue [9] and to cell protection through its role as a powerful antioxidant [4][19]. It also supports energy metabolism [8], the normal functioning of the nervous system [8] and collagen formation - a crucial factor for skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels [4].

The vitamin C level in the body is also relevant for many people [18]. With a high-dose supplement such as our capsules, you can ensure that your intake remains stable - without any complicated preparation or additional sugar from fruit or juices.

This is particularly important for athletes: intense exercise can increase oxidative stress. With this supplement, you can cover your needs in a targeted manner and rely on tested quality [12][13][15].

Use & dosage of vitamin C capsules

This essential nutrient fulfills many tasks in the body. It contributes to energy supply [8], immune defense [7] and supports numerous metabolic processes [8]. It is not only the intake that is crucial, but also the right amount.

Our capsule preparation makes the supply particularly easy. Each capsule contains 1000 mg ascorbic acid in high-dose form. This reliably covers your recommended daily dose - clearly dosed and immediately available [8].

So you always know exactly what you are giving your body. And you can easily integrate your dietary supplement into your daily routine - ideally with a glass of water with a meal. Thanks to its high tolerability, the supplement is also suitable for longer intake phases without putting unnecessary strain on the stomach [7][9].

How much vitamin C per day?

The recommended amount for adults is around 1000 mg of vitamin C per day [8][19]. You can also get this amount from fruit and vegetables, such as peppers, broccoli or oranges - but only with significantly larger amounts of food [4]. With a capsule, you get the same effect easily, without additional sugar or calories.

Athletes and active people in particular benefit from this daily supplement, as physical exertion can increase the requirement [12][14][15].

1000 mg vitamin C per capsule - why this is ideal

Many supplements only contain 250 or 500 mg of vitamin C per unit. Our capsules, on the other hand, provide a full 1000 mg of vitamin C in a single intake. This allows you to reach the recommended daily amount directly - without having to combine several tablets or measure out powder [8][19].

The advantage: a clear dosage, maximum simplicity and a reliable supplement for your everyday life.

Maximum dosage & safety

According to scientific findings, a daily dose of 1000 mg vitamin C is considered optimal [8][19]. It is not usually necessary to exceed this, as the body does not store excess amounts but excretes them [7].

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rates 1000 mg per day as a safe supplement [19]. Our capsules are precisely tailored to this amount so that you receive a clear dosage without the risk of oversupply. Each batch is also laboratory tested - for a high level of safety and confidence.

When to take vitamin C capsules?

It is best to take your capsule with a meal and some liquid. This supports optimal absorption and makes it easy to integrate the supplement into your daily routine [8]. Many people prefer to take it in the morning with breakfast, as this is the easiest way to implement the routine.

Athletes often also use the supplement after training in order to consistently maintain their daily supplementation [12][13]. The important thing is not the exact time, but that you take your supplement regularly - this ensures a stable supply for your body.

Quality & production

When choosing your supplements, it's not just the dosage that counts, but also the quality. Our high-dose vitamin C capsules are manufactured under strict standards in Germany - for maximum purity and reliability [19].

Produced by GN Laboratories and available exclusively from Gigas Nutrition, this product is based on a transparent formula: L-ascorbic acid as a proven vitamin C formula, a vegan capsule shell and rice bran extract as a natural anti-caking agent.

Each batch is laboratory tested to confirm the purity and active ingredient content. This gives you a high-quality food supplement - free from unnecessary additives, vegan and made in Germany [7][19].

Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin C Capsules

Get expert answers to the most common questions about high-dose Vitamin C supplementation, usage, and its benefits.

How much Vitamin C per day is optimal?
The recommended daily amount is around 1000 mg (according to scientific reviews on optimal absorption [8][19]).

With one capsule, you fully cover this need – practical and reliable. For comparison: This amount corresponds to the content from several portions of fruits and vegetables like oranges, peppers, or broccoli (Vitamin C also plays an important role for skin and collagen [4]).

For athletes and active people, daily supplementation is particularly beneficial as physical stress can increase requirements (studies show positive effects on recovery and performance [12][17]).

When is the best time to take Vitamin C?

You can take Vitamin C flexibly throughout the day. It's best to take the capsule with a meal and some liquid (this supports absorption and simultaneously improves iron utilization [6]). This way, taking it becomes a fixed part of your routine.

How long does a bottle with 120 capsules last?

A bottle lasts for about four months if you take one capsule with 1000 mg Vitamin C daily (this corresponds to the recommended safe daily dose [19]). This gives you long-term coverage of your needs without constantly having to reorder.

Is Vitamin C the same as ascorbic acid?

Yes, Vitamin C is the common designation for L-ascorbic acid (scientifically studied and established for decades [7][18]). In our capsules, we use exactly this form – proven and laboratory-tested manufactured in Germany.
