Evidence
A classic study, published in a 1969 edition of
the "International Journal of Vitamin Research," investigated the
effects of one particular variety of time-release vitamin C, known as
the "Spansule" on 25 subjects over a three-day period, while 25 others
were given non-sustained vitamin C capsules. Results showed that those
given the time-release capsule demonstrated much better delivery of
vitamin C into the body's tissues than those given the non-sustained
capsule.

Vitamin C Tips
As a rule, you can best meet your vitamin C needs
by consuming a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. If you
consume the Institute of Medicine's recommended 75 milligrams of vitamin
C for women, or 90 milligrams for adult men, each day, excess vitamin C
is unnecessary and potentially harmful. However, if you have trouble
meeting your vitamin C needs, time-release capsules will provide the
most benefit to your body. Excess vitamin C intake may result in kidney
stones, so avoid consuming beyond the recommended daily dosage for your
age and sex.

Yes,
but it is not recommended. Chewing the tablet or cutting the tablet

How much of the acerola comes from our own Nutrilite® farm?
The
majority of acerola used in Nutrilite® Vitamin C Extended Release comes
from Nutrilite-owned certified organic farms. The remainder comes from
farms that, while not owned by Nutrilite, are certified by Nutrilite
through the NutriCert program as organically grown.
What is the recommended age for using this product?
This product is recommended for people 12 years of age and older.
How does “extended release” work?
All
ingredients are mixed together with a fibrous ingredient and compressed
to form a tablet. After swallowing, the tablet becomes wetted in the
stomach and the fibrous ingredient expands to form a network. The wetted
tablet gradually releases key ingredients by controlled diffusion
through the network as it passes the length of the small intestine. The
nutrient release rate from the tablet is slow and steady with the wetted
tablet gradually decreasing in size until it is completely dissolved.
How much of the vitamin C in the Nutrilite® Vitamin C Extended Release formula comes from plant sources?
In one tablet, 30 mg of natural vitamin C is contributed by 120 mg of acerola powder.
Why is Nutrilite® Vitamin C Extended Release considered plant-based?
The
foundation for the new Vitamin C Extended Release starts with natural
vitamin C from acerola cherries in combination with natural antioxidants
from citrus bioflavonoids of lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. The plant
ingredients used are dried from whole foods. The 120 mg of acerola
powder contributes 30 mg of natural vitamin C per tablet. Ascorbic acid,
a highly processed ingredient, is also used in the formula.
Is this product all natural?
No.
In addition to using plant ingredients, Nutrilite® Vitamin C Extended
Release contains vitamin C from ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is a highly
processed ingredient made from glucose using a two-step fermentation
process.
Why isn't Nutrilite® Kids Chewable C an extended-release product?
Nutrilite®
Kids Chewable C tablets contain relatively small doses of vitamin C –
about 30 mg. Small doses of vitamin C are utilized very efficiently by
the body. Since there is little waste, an extended-release feature is
not necessary.
In addition, these chewable tablets are often
used by children under 12 years of age. A chewable tablet form negates
the value an extended-release feature would offer.
