About This Product
Natural Factors C Extra 500 mg + Bioflavonoids 500 mg is a vitamin C tablet that matches each 500 mg of vitamin C with 500 mg of citrus bioflavonoids, plus rutin, rosehips and hesperidin. For normal development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. It comes in bottles of 90 and 180 tablets.
What C Extra is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 02240293, printed on the side of the bottle. The licensed dose for adults is 1 to 3 tablets a day.
What is in each tablet
The vitamin C is ascorbic acid at 500 mg. The "Extra" in the name refers to the companion ingredients taken from citrus and rose plants. Citrus bioflavonoids make up the largest share at 500 mg, the same weight as the vitamin C itself. Rutin and rosehips follow at 50 mg each, and hesperidin, a flavonoid found in orange peel, adds 25 mg.
Bioflavonoids are plant pigments that sit next to vitamin C in whole citrus fruit, mostly in the white pith and peel. Rosehips are the fruit of the wild rose and have long been used as a natural source of vitamin C. Putting them together in one tablet gives a combination closer to the way vitamin C occurs in food than plain ascorbic acid on its own.
The tablet is made with dicalcium phosphate, povidone, croscarmellose sodium and vegetable grade magnesium stearate, with a coating of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrin, dextrose, lecithin and sodium citrate.
How to take it
Adults take 1 to 3 tablets daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner. Many people split the tablets across meals, since vitamin C is water soluble and the body does not store much of it. The directions are listed under How to Take.
Sizes and value
The 90-tablet bottle lasts three months at one tablet a day, or one month at the top dose of three. The 180-tablet bottle doubles that and costs less per tablet, which suits households where more than one person takes it.
Who it suits
Adults who want vitamin C with its plant partners in a single tablet, and people who would rather adjust their intake between 500 mg and 1,500 mg a day than buy several strengths.
