C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t by Now Foods – Immune Support Vitamin C Tablets
C-1000 (Buffered C) tablets by Now Foods supply vitamin C in a buffered tablet formula for adults. Each tablet provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C from calcium ascorbate, a non-acidic form, along with citrus bioflavonoids, acerola powder, and rutin powder.
This 180-tablet formula brings together a familiar essential nutrient and complementary plant ingredients. Vitamin C contributes to everyday immune support, while its roles in maintaining connective tissues and neutralizing free radicals explain why it belongs in a broader nutritional routine. Buffered describes the ingredient form; it does not guarantee freedom from digestive discomfort.
Key C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t Benefits
- Supports normal immune cell function with vitamin C, an essential nutrient that the human body cannot make for itself.
- Provides antioxidant support by helping neutralize free radicals generated during normal metabolism and everyday environmental exposures.
- Supports collagen production, helping maintain the structural protein that gives skin, bones, and other connective tissues their framework.
How C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t Works
Vitamin C helps enzymes carry out specific tasks, including steps needed to build collagen. That collagen forms part of connective tissue, the supportive framework found throughout the body. Vitamin C also donates electrons to neutralize reactive molecules, contributing to the body's normal antioxidant defenses.
Another nutritional role is supporting nonheme iron absorption from plant foods. This is separate from the calcium supplied by calcium ascorbate. The tablet provides both nutrients, but its 100 mg of calcium is not intended to replace a complete dietary calcium intake. The plant ingredients complement the formula without replacing vitamin C's essential nutritional roles.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin C: Helps collagen-building enzymes work normally and contributes to antioxidant defenses by donating electrons. These functions support everyday tissue maintenance rather than promising a visible change in skin or joints. The calcium ascorbate source supplies vitamin C without using free ascorbic acid as the labeled form.
- Calcium: Contributes to the mineral framework of bones and teeth and participates in normal muscle function and nerve signaling. In this formula, it accompanies the buffered vitamin C source. Consider this modest calcium contribution alongside food and other supplements rather than treating it as a full calcium supplement.
C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking a buffered vitamin C tablet rather than a powder or capsule.
- Adults looking for a vitamin C formula that also contains 250 mg of citrus bioflavonoids.
- Vegetarian or vegan adults whose supplement choices fit the complete ingredient and caution information below.

Frequently Asked Questions About C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t
What are the benefits of C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t?
C-1000 (Buffered C) supplies 1,000 mg of vitamin C per tablet to support normal immune function, antioxidant defenses, and collagen formation. Collagen helps give connective tissues their structure, while vitamin C's antioxidant role helps neutralize free radicals. Each tablet also includes 100 mg of calcium, 250 mg of citrus bioflavonoids, and 50 mg each of acerola powder and rutin powder. The buffered source is calcium ascorbate, not a promise of better results for every user.
Who should take C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t?
This Now Foods formula is intended for adults who want vitamin C in tablet form and prefer a calcium ascorbate source. It is labeled vegetarian/vegan, but people with food allergies should review the shared-facility statement carefully. The manufacturer's direction is one tablet daily. Pregnant or nursing adults, medication users, and anyone with a medical condition should consult a physician before use. This adult formula should not be selected as a children's vitamin C supplement.
Are there any side effects of taking C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t?
Vitamin C can cause diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal cramps; a buffered form does not eliminate these possibilities. Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens. Kidney concerns, iron overload, cancer therapies, and medication compatibility warrant individual review; see the additional precautions above.
How does C-1000 (Buffered C) 180t support overall health?
The vitamin C in this tablet supports essential nutritional functions rather than acting as a substitute for varied foods. It helps enzymes build collagen, contributes to normal immune function, and supports absorption of nonheme iron from plant foods. Calcium contributes to normal bone structure, muscle function, and nerve signaling. These are nutrient roles, not a guarantee that this supplement will change how you feel. Review your total vitamin C and calcium intake when combining it with other supplements.
