Would you like to boost your immunity? Or maybe you want to restore your skin's radiance and elasticity? There is a way. Vitamin C - in addition to being invaluable for the proper functioning of the immune system and improving beauty - will give you energy, support you with colds, and also positively affect brain function. What else can you gain from taking it? Reach for vitamin C and see how it can improve your condition.
Vitamin C is one of the water-soluble vitamins and is responsible for a number of processes in the body. It affects, among others, the proper functioning of the immune system and helps protect mitochondria and DNA from oxidative stress [1]. It is mainly known for supporting the body during infections. It has been shown that this vitamin can act preventively on colds and have an impact on shortening the duration of its symptoms [2]. Vitamin C also helps to take care of beauty and the condition of the musculoskeletal system. It participates in the proper production of collagen, responsible for the good condition of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. In addition, it supports the functioning of the nervous system and contributes to maintaining normal psychological functions and reducing the feeling of fatigue and weariness. It is believed that the appropriate level of vitamin C supports the balance of neurotransmitters and the overall health of the brain [3]. Studies have shown that vitamin C plays a significant role in energy production, and its inadequate supply can cause general weakness and muscle pain [4]. The benefits of taking this substance can also be felt by people who exercise. It has been proven that vitamin C reduces effort and fatigue in exercisers [5]. Additionally, it increases the absorption of iron and vitamin E [6].
Rutin (also known as vitamin P or rutoside) is a bioflavonoid obtained from the Japanese pagoda tree (Latin Sophora japonica). This powerful antioxidant has a number of positive properties for the body, including antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. It also has a protective effect on blood vessels [7]. Wild rose fruits have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can contribute to reducing pain intensity [8]. These substances in combination with vitamin C show promising benefits for the proper functioning of the body.
The human body is not able to produce vitamin C on its own, so it is necessary to obtain it from the diet [9]. Good sources of this substance are fruits and vegetables (such as red and green peppers, kiwi, broccoli, strawberries, and Brussels sprouts). Vitamin C can also be obtained through drinking juices, such as orange or grapefruit juice. Fruits rich in vitamin C often also contain bioflavonoids. Rutin is a naturally occurring flavonoid in many foods, especially buckwheat, apricots, cherries, grapes, grapefruits, plums, and oranges [6]. According to research, vitamin C and bioflavonoids have a complementary effect, making them more effective when consumed together than separately. Increased absorption of vitamin C in the presence of plant flavonoids (such as hesperidin, rutin, and catechins) has been demonstrated.
A lack of vitamin C can result in fatigue, poor mood, inflammation of the gums (later leading to bleeding), slow wound healing, joint pain, bruises, and a lowered immune system. The consequence of low levels of vitamin C can be scurvy, although it is not common in developed countries [10]. The main cause of vitamin C deficiency is a lack of balanced meals. Supplementation often helps to restore the body's balance.
Our supplement contains a high amount of vitamin C in buffered form - calcium ascorbate. It is better tolerated by the stomach due to its lower acidity compared to ascorbic acid. In the recommended daily dose, which corresponds to 2 capsules, there is 1000 mg of vitamin C enriched with extract from the flower of Japanese pearl barley standardized to 95% rutin (25 mg) and extract from wild rose fruits (Latin Rosa canina, 25 mg). This combination enhances the antioxidant effect of the product. Vitamin C 1000 with rutin and wild rose is also distinguished by the absence of unnecessary additives in the composition, which further confirms that the supplement is safe - even for people with a sensitive digestive system.

New Environmentally Friendly and Responsible PackagingCaring for the environment and quality, we are gradually introducing new packaging. Instead of the previously used BioPET, we are now using bottles made of rPET (50% recycled plastic) and standard PET – both are fully recyclable.During the transition period, you may receive the product in different packaging variants, but we always ensure their high quality and safety.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us care for our planet together!
