Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is undoubtedly the best-known vitamin among the general public. It is involved in many essential physiological functions and remains one of the most sought-after nutrients in supplementation. However, not all vitamin C supplements are equal. The distinguishing feature of the Solaray formula is its two-stage time-release technology, which sets it apart from standard, immediate-release vitamin C.

The recommended daily intake of vitamin C under European regulation is 80 mg. However, many experts consider this a minimum to avoid deficiency, not an optimum for health. A dose of 1,000 mg per day is commonly used in supplementation to support immunity, particularly during periods of stress, tiredness or seasonal changes. Thanks to the time-release format, this high dose is well tolerated, as it is gradually spread over the day, avoiding the spikes in blood ascorbic acid that can sometimes cause digestive discomfort.

Solaray is a supplement brand founded in 1973 in Utah, USA. It is part of the Nutraceutix group and has established itself as one of the leading brands in the natural supplement sector in the United States. Solaray is known for the quality of its formulations, built on carefully selected ingredients and innovative technologies such as time release. Every batch is laboratory-tested to guarantee compliance with label specifications.

Take 1 tablet per day, ideally with breakfast. Thanks to the time-release system, a single tablet per day is enough to maintain optimal vitamin C levels throughout the day. Swallow the tablet whole with a large glass of water, without chewing or crushing it, to preserve the two-phase release mechanism.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplement to be used as part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Can I take Vitamin C 1000 mg Solaray all year round?

Yes, vitamin C is water-soluble, so the body naturally eliminates any excess. Daily supplementation of 1,000 mg is generally well tolerated long-term. The time-release formula makes this daily intake even more comfortable for the digestive system.

Is Vitamin C Solaray suitable for children?

This 1,000 mg dosage is formulated for adults. Lower dosages suited to children are available separately — visit our Paris shop to discover the alternatives suited to younger customers.

Why is the 100-tablet format good value?

At one tablet per day, the 100-tablet bottle offers more than three months of supplementation — an economical format ideal for an extended course, without frequent restocking.
