Vitamin C 1000 - Aura Care capsules, 60 capsules

Vitamin C 1000 is a preparation in which the daily portion consists of two capsules and combines three sources of the same vitamin.

The manufacturer declares a total of 1000 mg of vitamin C in a portion, which is 1250% of the reference intake value, and breaks it down into three items: L-ascorbic acid providing 430 mg of vitamin C, sodium ascorbate in the amount of 484 mg of raw material, also providing 430 mg of vitamin C, and 200 mg of rose hip fruit extract standardized to 70%, which gives 140 mg of vitamin C. The capsule shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose - a plant-based raw material, without gelatin.

The manufacturer describes the formula as developed according to the AQS standard, which stands for Advanced Quality System, and this is a proprietary name for its process, not an external certification. The packaging contains 60 capsules, and the manufacturer recommends taking one in the morning and one in the evening, preferably during or immediately after a meal.

Ingredients

L-ascorbic acid - 430 mg of vitamin C, 538% RWS
Sodium ascorbate (484 mg of raw material) - 430 mg of vitamin C, 538% RWS
Rose hip fruit extract (200 mg of raw material), standardized to 70% - 140 mg of vitamin C, 174% RWS
Total in the daily portion: 1000 mg of vitamin C, 1250% RWS
Daily portion: 2 capsules
Capsule shell: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), plant-based

Three sources instead of one is a formulation decision worth understanding before comparing this preparation with a cheaper ascorbate in powder form. L-ascorbic acid is the basic and most commonly encountered form.

Sodium ascorbate is its salt - a buffered form, meaning it has a higher pH, which can be gentler on the stomach than pure acid; the manufacturer provides two numbers for it, the raw material weight of 484 mg and the resulting vitamin C content of 430 mg, and it is worth reading them together, as they are not the same value.

The third item, rose hip fruit extract, contributes the least (140 mg of vitamin C from 200 mg of raw material standardized to 70%) and is a plant source alongside two synthetic ones. Vitamin C helps in the proper functioning of the immune system and contributes to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness; both of these claims refer to vitamin C, not to the extract itself.

How to use

The manufacturer splits the portion into two times of the day and links it with a meal:

Take 2 capsules daily - one in the morning, one in the evening
Best during or immediately after a meal
Drink with a glass of water
Do not exceed the recommended daily portion

Splitting the portion into two parts is not just cosmetic. Vitamin C is water-soluble and the body does not store its excess, so two smaller portions spread throughout the day is a more sensible arrangement than one large one in the morning - and this is the scheme provided by the manufacturer. The recommendation to take it “during or after a meal” is also important for comfort: at higher doses, ascorbic acid taken on an empty stomach can be felt, and the presence of food changes that.

Swallow the capsules whole, drinking water, and do not chew them. Store the package closed, at a temperature up to 25 °C, away from light and out of reach of small children. If you have kidney problems or are prone to kidney stones, this portion is not for you, as the manufacturer excludes such individuals from use outright, not conditionally. It is worth knowing this before purchase, not after.

For whom

This preparation is for someone who consciously chooses a high daily portion of vitamin C and prefers to have it in one package instead of assembling it from two. Three sources in one portion provide a practical advantage over pure ascorbic acid: the presence of sodium ascorbate raises the pH of the mixture, making it gentler on the stomach. The plant-based capsule format will be appreciated by someone avoiding gelatin. On the other hand, it is worth knowing for whom this preparation is not suitable.

This is also not a choice for someone looking for only a natural source of vitamin C; the plant extract is the third ingredient here and contributes the smallest part of the portion, not its basis. Individuals prone to kidney stones and those already suffering from them are outright excluded from use by the manufacturer, without a loophole for consultation.

Frequently asked questions

How much vitamin C is in the daily portion?

The manufacturer declares 1000 mg of vitamin C in the daily portion, which is 1250% of the reference intake value. The portion consists of two capsules. This total consists of three items: 430 mg from L-ascorbic acid, 430 mg from sodium ascorbate, and 140 mg from rose hip fruit extract. All three values are printed separately in the manufacturer’s table.

What are the differences between the three sources in the composition?

L-ascorbic acid is the basic form. Sodium ascorbate is its salt - a buffered form, with a higher pH, which can be gentler on the stomach. Rose hip fruit extract, standardized to 70% vitamin C, is a plant source and contributes the smallest part of the portion in this formula, which is 140 mg of vitamin C.

Is the capsule plant-based?

Yes. The shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, abbreviated as HPMC - a plant-based raw material, not gelatin, so the capsule format itself does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

What does the AQS standard mean for this formula?

AQS stands for Advanced Quality System and is a proprietary name for the manufacturer’s process that it places next to this formula. It describes its internal standard for developing the preparation, not a certificate issued by an external entity. It is worth reading this designation as such: as a declaration from the manufacturer about its own way of working, alongside the composition table, and not as independent confirmation of the capsule’s parameters.

Variants and category

The preparation is sold in one package size. The same manufacturer separately offers liquid vitamin C for children, and preparations based on a single source are vitamin C from pure L-ascorbic acid and powdered rose hip extract. Each of these items has its own composition table. All are in the Supplements category.

Safety and storage

Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the product. The manufacturer excludes use by individuals with a predisposition to kidney stones or those suffering from kidney stones. Pregnant and breastfeeding women and individuals taking medications regularly should consult the use with a doctor. Store in a closed, original package, at a temperature up to 25 °C, protecting from light and out of reach of small children.

Do not exceed the recommended daily portion. Dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle.
