A Safety Point Worth Adding at This Dose
This tablet provides 1000mg of vitamin C (1250% NRV) with 20mg rosehip and 7mg citrus bioflavonoids to complement its action. Vitamin C has an established, EU-authorised role in normal immune function, collagen formation (relevant to skin, bones, teeth, and gums), and reduced tiredness and fatigue — all accurately reflected in this product’s claims.
Worth adding, since it’s missing from this product’s own safety information: vitamin C intake at or above 1,000mg daily is associated with an increased risk of kidney stones in research, particularly in men and in people with a prior history of stones, since excess vitamin C is partly metabolised into oxalate, a component of the most common type of kidney stone. This isn’t a reason to avoid vitamin C, but it’s worth being aware of if you’re taking this dose routinely and long-term rather than for a specific, shorter-term reason — staying well hydrated helps mitigate this risk, and if you have a history of kidney stones, it’s worth discussing this dose with your GP specifically. The UK upper limit for vitamin C is 2,000mg daily from all sources, so this product sits at half that ceiling on its own.
This product’s existing note about mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals is accurate — vitamin C at this dose can cause digestive discomfort in some people, and splitting a higher dose across the day (rather than one single 1000mg tablet) can sometimes help, though this specific product is formulated as a single daily tablet.

Vitamin C & Elderberry: What UK Research Actually Shows
Vitamin C and elderberry are two of the most recognisable immune-support ingredients on the shelf, frequently sold together. Both have genuine research behind them — and vitamin C at higher doses carries a specific, well-documented risk that applies mainly to men, worth knowing before you buy.
