AOR AOR - Vitamin C 1000mg, 300 vcaps

AOR Vitamin C - Vitamin C helps to regulate the immune system, detoxify harmful compounds and reduce blood pressure. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, protecting the body from disease and aging and even helping recycle other antioxidants such as vitamins A and E, glutathione and lipoic acid, making them more effective. Due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine effects, vitamin C is also effective for allergy relief, and at high doses it can act as a gentle laxative for occasional constipation. Vitamin C is needed for the synthesis of adrenal hormones, making it an important nutrient for combating the negative effects of stress. AOR’s Vitamin C formula is a high dose, pure ascorbic acid and can benefit everyone, especially those who have a family history of cardiovascular disease, seasonal allergies, weak immune system or people who do not regularly consume citrus fruits or other foods rich in vitamin C.

Why people keep reordering it

Year-round defense: Daily support for a resilient immune response.
Antioxidant support: Helps protect cells from everyday oxidative stress.
Tradition meets research: Time-tested ingredients in clinically informed doses.

Best suited to: someone wanting one simple high dose capsule, people who eat little citrus or few vegetables, someone under physical or seasonal stress wanting antioxidant support.

What the research supports

One capsule a day gives you 1,000 mg of plain ascorbic acid, no added minerals or bioflavonoids. The 300-capsule bottle lasts about ten months.

Immune-support trials commonly use 500 to 2,000 mg a day.

Cold duration (evidence: moderate, from human rct, meta-analysis): Vitamin C supports several steps immune cells use to respond to a cold. Regular daily intake above about 200 mg has modestly shortened how long colds last in trials.
Free radical defense (evidence: strong, from human rct, mechanistic): As a water-soluble antioxidant, ascorbic acid neutralizes free radicals directly and helps regenerate vitamin E once it has been used up, extending how long that fat-soluble antioxidant keeps working.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

Someone wanting one simple high dose capsule: 1000 mg of ascorbic acid in a single capsule covers a full day's intake without needing to split doses.
People who eat little citrus or few vegetables: This replaces the vitamin C that would otherwise come from produce, at a dose well above minimum requirements.
Someone under physical or seasonal stress wanting antioxidant support: Vitamin C is used up faster during stress and supports adrenal hormone synthesis at doses like this.

Look elsewhere if

Anyone with a sensitive stomach or history of loose stools on vitamin C: Look for a buffered or lower dose form, such as calcium or sodium ascorbate around 500 mg, which is gentler.
Someone prone to kidney stones: Sustained high dose ascorbic acid can raise oxalate load, so a lower dose or a form with added minerals is a better fit, and this is worth discussing with a health care practitioner first.
Someone who just wants a small maintenance dose: A 250 mg or lower vitamin C tablet matches ordinary dietary needs without the laxative effect this dose can produce.

What to expect

There is nothing to feel directly from vitamin C itself, since it works as a cofactor and antioxidant rather than a stimulant or sedative. Consistent daily use over weeks to months is what supports normal immune and connective tissue function, and any noticeable effect, like fewer or milder colds, would only show up over that longer stretch.

How it compares

Compared with a buffered vitamin C such as calcium or sodium ascorbate: Plain ascorbic acid at 1000 mg delivers more vitamin C per capsule with fewer added minerals. The tradeoff: It is more acidic and more likely to cause stomach upset or loose stools at this dose than a buffered version.
Compared with a low dose multivitamin's vitamin C content: This gives a dedicated 1000 mg dose rather than the 60 to 90 mg typically bundled into a multivitamin. The tradeoff: You need to take it as a separate capsule rather than getting it folded into one pill.
