Blackmores Bio C 1000mg Vitamin C 150 Tablets

1000mg of vitamin C per tablet, split across three forms — ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate and sodium ascorbate — buffered with minerals to sit more gently on the stomach than a straight ascorbic acid tablet would. Rosehips and acerola extract are added alongside citrus bioflavonoids, rutoside and hesperidin, the combination Blackmores uses to support absorption.

It's a sustained-release tablet, so the dose is released gradually over several hours rather than all at once, giving a steadier supply through the day than an instant-release tablet would. That's also why it needs to be swallowed whole — crushing or chewing it defeats the slow-release design.

High-dose vitamin C like this is generally reached for during cold and flu season, when travelling, under stress, or when fresh fruit and vegetables are thin on the ground for a stretch. Free from artificial flavours and preservatives; contains sulfites.

Directions

Adults: Take 1 tablet daily with a main meal, or as professionally prescribed. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew sustained-release tablets.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the lid tightly closed.

Warnings

Always read the label and follow directions for use. Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet. Contains sulfites. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional.
