Sustained release maintains more consistent blood levels of Vitamin C throughout the day, reduces urinary excretion of excess Vitamin C, and may be gentler on the stomach than immediate release high dose Vitamin C. Supports immune function, antioxidant protection, and collagen synthesis.

The resulting ascorbic acid is chemically identical to the Vitamin C found naturally in fruits and vegetables. The time-release matrix uses hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-derived polymer widely used in pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturing. This product is formulated and manufactured entirely in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Time Release? What Is the Difference vs. Regular Vitamin C?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that the body cannot produce or store. At high doses, intestinal absorption becomes saturated and excess Vitamin C is rapidly excreted in urine, meaning a large immediate-release dose may result in significant urinary loss before it can be absorbed. Time-release delivery gradually releases Vitamin C over several hours, maintaining more consistent blood levels, reducing the peak concentration that triggers urinary excretion, and providing sustained support throughout the day from a single capsule. The gradual release also reduces the likelihood of digestive discomfort that some individuals experience with immediate-release high-dose Vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmune function support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVitamin C supports the production and function of white blood cells including lymphocytes and phagocytes.
