C-500 with Rose Hips by Now Foods – Antioxidant and Vitamin C Support
C-500 with Rose Hips tablets by Now Foods combine 500 mg of vitamin C as ascorbic acid with 40 mg of rose hips powder per tablet. This vegetarian/vegan formula pairs a measured vitamin dose with a botanical ingredient, offering focused nutritional support rather than a broad multivitamin blend.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body cannot make, so regular dietary intake matters. These tablets help supplement that intake while keeping the vitamin C amount separate from the weight of the rose hips powder. Choose between 100-tablet and 250-tablet bottles; the serving size remains one tablet for either size.
Key C-500 with Rose Hips Benefits
- Provides antioxidant support to help protect cells from free radicals generated during everyday energy production.
- Supports normal immune function through vitamin C's nutritional role in immune cells and tissue barriers.
- Assists collagen formation, helping maintain the connective tissue framework found in skin, bones, and joints.
- Supports plant-based iron absorption, helping your body use this dietary mineral.
How C-500 with Rose Hips Works
Vitamin C works in water-based areas of the body, where it donates electrons to help neutralize free radicals. It also helps enzymes perform steps needed to build collagen. Collagen is a structural protein: think of it as part of the framework that gives connective tissues their strength, rather than a substance supplied by this tablet.
Ascorbic acid also helps keep dietary nonheme iron in a form that is easier to absorb. That is the type of iron found in plant foods. Together, these normal nutrient functions connect vitamin C intake with everyday tissue maintenance and dietary nutrient use.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin C: Supports antioxidant defenses by donating electrons that help neutralize free radicals. As ascorbic acid, it also assists collagen-building enzymes and normal nutrient metabolism. These functions support the formula's focus on antioxidant nutrition and maintenance of healthy connective tissues, without supplying collagen itself.
- Rose Hips, Powder: Rose hips are the fruit of the rose plant and naturally contain ascorbic acid and other plant compounds. The powder complements this vitamin C formula. Its 40 mg ingredient weight is not an additional 40 mg of vitamin C, and it should not be counted as a separate standardized vitamin dose.
C-500 with Rose Hips Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking a vitamin C supplement with a clearly declared ascorbic acid amount.
- Adults who prefer vegetarian/vegan tablets containing rose hips rather than a multi-nutrient formula.
- Adults reviewing their existing vitamin C intake before adding a focused antioxidant nutrient.

Frequently Asked Questions About C-500 with Rose Hips
What are the benefits of C-500 with Rose Hips?
C-500 with Rose Hips supplies 500 mg of vitamin C per tablet for antioxidant nutrition, normal immune function, and collagen formation. Vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and supports the enzymes involved in building connective tissue. It also helps with iron absorption from plant foods. The 40 mg of rose hips powder complements the formula, but that powder weight is not a second declared vitamin C amount. This is focused vitamin C support, not a comprehensive multivitamin.
Who should take C-500 with Rose Hips?
This NOW formula is intended for adults who want vitamin C in a vegetarian/vegan tablet with rose hips. It can suit someone comparing a focused 500 mg vitamin C product with broader nutrient combinations. Check existing multivitamins and other supplements when assessing your total intake. The manufacturer directs adults to take one tablet one to three times daily, preferably with food. Pregnancy, nursing, medication use, or a medical condition requires physician consultation; this adult-labeled product is not intended for children.
Are there any side effects of taking C-500 with Rose Hips?
Vitamin C can cause diarrhea, nausea, or stomach cramps. Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens. Do Not Eat Freshness Packets. Keep in Bottle. Seek clinician advice for kidney-stone history, kidney disease, or iron overload, and before use during chemotherapy or radiation. Review combined vitamin C intake, including multivitamins, with your clinician.
How does C-500 with Rose Hips support overall health?
Vitamin C connects several everyday nutritional processes: it supports antioxidant defenses, helps build collagen, assists normal immune function, and improves absorption of iron from plant foods. C-500 with Rose Hips brings those nutrient roles into a tablet containing a declared 500 mg vitamin C amount plus rose hips powder. The body regulates vitamin C absorption and excretion, so more is not automatically better. Use this focused supplement alongside vitamin C foods such as citrus, peppers, and broccoli rather than replacing dietary variety.
