Why vitamin C 1000 mg capsules are useful

A balanced diet is often enough in everyday life. But when you push yourself to the limit in training or the stress at work increases, your energy metabolism uses significantly more resources. You need extra power.

This high daily dose is the classic "no-brainer": instead of swallowing several small pills, a single portion gives you the full supply. High-dose vitamin C is your direct support for stable defenses and active cell protection when it counts.

Keep it simple: you don't want to do the math, you want to be covered.

Clean label: vitamin C without additives

Many cheap supplements stretch their ingredients with unnecessary fillers to push production. GN takes a different approach. Here you buy vitamin C without additives, i.e. guaranteed free from magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide.

Instead of chemical additives, natural rice bran extract is used. This makes these capsules highly dosed and at the same time extremely pure in their form. Even the shell consists only of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (vegan cellulose). You get the full value for your money, without the ballast.

Who is this supplement for?

This product is primarily aimed at two groups: Athletes and anyone looking for support during the cold season. This support is particularly important for athletes, as intensive training increases the body's requirements and demands cell protection.

Thanks to the plant-based casing, the contents are 100% vegan. An honest mentor tip: On an empty stomach, pure acid can cause irritation. To avoid such side effects, simply wash the capsule down with a large glass of water with a meal.

Dosage & intake

It's easy to use: take 1 capsule daily unchewed with plenty of liquid. Ideally, you should do this with a main meal, which not only improves tolerance, but also optimizes your iron absorption from food.

This dosage is absolutely common during high physical exertion. As the body cannot store the vitamin in the tissue for long, the daily routine is crucial for a constant supply.

Pure L-ascorbic acid vs. fruit extracts

Why does GN Laboratories use pure acid instead of acerola or rose hip powder? The answer is simple: concentration and value for money. Fruit extracts would often be extremely expensive and the capsules huge in order to get 1000 mg of active ingredient.

Here you get the identical molecule as in nature, but in an isolated, stable form. Your metabolism does not chemically differentiate between the structure from the laboratory and that from the lemon, it simply utilizes the micronutrient. With Gigas, you pay for maximum efficiency, not for marketing stories.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How much vitamin C 1000 mg a day makes sense?
For athletes and during periods of stress, 1000 mg of vitamin C per day is ideal. Less is often sufficient for pure prophylaxis without stress, but what the body cannot utilize is simply excreted in the urine. So you are not taking any risks as long as you drink enough.
What does vitamin C 100 mg do?
This micronutrient is a real all-rounder for your body. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and nervous system. It also contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for the function of bones, teeth, skin and blood vessels. It also helps to protect your cells from oxidative stress (cell damage).
Why capsules instead of powder?
Pure powder is extremely acidic and often attacks tooth enamel when drunk. The cellulose coating protects your teeth from direct contact with acid and only releases the ingredient in the stomach. You also save yourself the hassle of weighing and always have the exact amount to hand when you're out and about.
Can I take the supplement with my coffee?
Better not to add it directly. Caffeine and certain tannins in coffee can block the absorption of micronutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. It is better to wait 30 to 60 minutes or simply take the capsule with lunch to ensure optimum bioavailability.
Is continuous use possible?
Yes, because this vital substance is water-soluble, the body does not build up critical depots, as would be the case with fat-soluble representatives. Especially for active people with high levels of wear and tear, this routine is often part of the daily basic supply and not just a short-term cure.
What role does the product play for skin and joints?
It is the decisive co-factor for the body's own collagen formation. Without this micronutrient, the body cannot build stable collagen. It therefore contributes directly to the normal function of skin, cartilage and bones, which is important not only for the appearance but also for the stability of your musculoskeletal system during training.
