Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
As a water-soluble antioxidant and cofactor, it helps neutralize free radicals and supports enzymes involved in collagen formation and carnitine and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Caution: High intakes may cause stomach upset or loose stools in some people, so taking with food can improve tolerance.
Rose hips 4:1 extract (Rosa spp.)
Provides plant polyphenols and vitamin C–related compounds that add antioxidant activity and complement ascorbic acid.
Caution: Contains natural acids that may be irritating to sensitive stomachs; take with food if prone to discomfort.
How they work together
Vitamin C serves as the primary antioxidant and enzyme cofactor, while rose hips contribute additional plant polyphenols that add complementary antioxidant activity. Together they offer a broader range of antioxidant compounds than vitamin C alone.
