Nature's Harmony Timed Release Vitamin C with Rose Hips provides 500 mg of vitamin C from ascorbic acid and naturally sourced rose hips in a supplement formulated to release the ascorbic acid gradually over a period of five to six hours.
Ingredients
Nature's Harmony Vitamin C with Rose Hips Timed Release (TR) provides 500 mg of ascorbic acid, which is the form of the vitamin that is found in foods. Vitamin C is best known for treatment of the common cold since it is useful as an immune stimulator.
Vitamin C is needed for tissue growth and repair and gum health, and it is vital for the formation of collagen, the body's structural substance. Another important function for ascorbic acid is that it contributes to the strength of capillary walls in the cardiovascular system.
Nature's Harmony Vitamin C with Rose Hips TR provides 5 mg of a 1:4 rose hip extract. Rose hips are the fruit of roses, rich in Vitamin C and the major source of natural Vitamin C.
Because vitamin C cannot be stored in the body, it must be replenished regularly. This timed release formula provides the vitamin C slowly, allowing the body to utilize it more fully over a period of time.
Recommended Use

Enhances the immune system.
