Naka Platinum Pro C1000 (Timed Release) Pure Vitamin C 1000mg, 180 Capsules

Naka Platinum Pro C1000 Timed Release Details

Naka Platinum Pro C1000 (Timed Release) is pure vitamin C — 1000mg of ascorbic acid per delayed-release capsule, nothing else in the active column, 180 capsules to a bottle. The directions are one capsule twice a day with food: 2000mg through the day, and a three-month supply in the bottle.

Naka's stated benefits are the established vitamin C claims: it helps the body to metabolize fats and proteins, helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums, helps in connective tissue formation, helps in wound healing, and acts as an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health. The reason to buy this version specifically is the combination of a clean label and a release profile — plain ascorbic acid in a capsule built to let the dose out gradually rather than all at once. Made in Canada.

Quick Facts

Who Pro C1000 Is For

• People who want a straightforward 1000mg vitamin C capsule with a short ingredient list and no added botanicals they did not ask for.
• Anyone running a higher daily intake — at one capsule twice daily this is a 2000mg-a-day product by design.
• Buyers who prefer capsules to the large 1000mg tablets vitamin C usually comes in, and who want the bottle to last — 180 capsules is roughly three months on the directed schedule.
• Anyone who wants vitamin C on board daily through cough, cold and flu season rather than only when they feel something coming.
• People who have found a big single dose of vitamin C does not sit well and want it spread out instead.

Who this product is NOT for: If you want rosehip and citrus bioflavonoids alongside the vitamin C, this is not the one — Naka Vitamin C 1000mg Timed Release with Rosehips & Citrus Bioflavonoids is the same 1000mg timed-release idea as a tablet that carries both. If swallowing capsules is the problem, a timed-release capsule makes it worse rather than better; go to Pro C2000 buffered powder instead. And if ascorbic acid is hard on your stomach, the answer is a buffered or liposomal form, not a slower-releasing capsule of the same acid.

Vitamart's Take

We stock this because it is the honest, boring version: one active, 1000mg, 180 capsules, and a dosing schedule that matches how vitamin C behaves in the body. Plenty of vitamin C products bulk out the label with rosehip and bioflavonoids declared at no particular amount. This one does not pretend — the title says pure vitamin C and the panel backs it up.

One thing to be clear about: the directed dose is two capsules a day, so compare this against other vitamin C on a cost-per-2000mg basis rather than per capsule. On that measure a powder is almost always lower-cost, and we would rather you know it going in. If a true liposomal vitamin C is what you were after, Naka's Liposomal C1000 softgels are the product for that — this one is plain ascorbic acid, as the panel and the product name both say.

How Pro C1000 Compares

Vitamin C separates on dose, the form of the C, whether anything is added alongside it, and the format. This is high dose, plain ascorbic acid, nothing added, delayed-release capsule.

• Versus the timed-release tablet: Naka Vitamin C 1000mg Timed Release is also 1000mg and also 180 units, but it is a tablet that adds rosehip and citrus bioflavonoids. Same dose, longer label.
• Versus powder: Pro C2000 is buffered 2000mg powder in orange flavour — lowest cost per gram and gentler on sensitive stomachs, but you have to mix it.
• Versus liposomal: Liposomal Vitamin C softgels wrap buffered C in a phospholipid carrier instead of relying on a slower release — different strategy, same destination.

Why Split Vitamin C Across the Day?

Vitamin C is water-soluble and does not get stockpiled. It crosses the intestinal wall on dedicated transporter proteins, and those transporters have a ceiling — past a certain amount in one go, the proportion you actually absorb falls away, and whatever is absorbed but not needed is cleared within hours. So a 2000mg hit does not deliver twice what a 1000mg dose does.

Two things in this product work against that. The dosing schedule is the obvious one — one capsule in the morning and one later gives the transporters two separate windows instead of one, so a larger share of the 2000mg gets through. The delayed-release capsule does the same thing on a smaller scale within each dose, letting the ascorbic acid out gradually along the gut rather than dumping it in one place. Flattening the curve is also why spreading a high intake tends to sit better: a lower concentration arriving over a longer stretch is easier on the digestive tract.

How To Use

Take 1 capsule 2 times per day with food, or as suggested by a healthcare practitioner.
