This is a package of three separate products by Doctor's Formulas that travel together in one package. It includes Vitamin C 1000mg Fast Action in 30 tablets, Optimum Zinc 15mg in 30 tablets and, as a gift, Vitamin D3 2000IU in 60 soft capsules. Each product retains its own packaging and usage instructions.
The rationale behind the combination is simple. Instead of purchasing three different products separately, they are found in one package that covers three nutrients with a rich scientific background and approved claims: vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D3. It is a practical choice for adults who want to organize their nutritional support during cold months or periods of increased commitments, as well as a good gift idea.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that the human body cannot synthesize, so it must be obtained from the diet. This formulation combines ascorbic acid with natural sources of vitamin C from acerola and camu camu.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system*, the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth*, the protection of cells from oxidative stress*, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, the normal energy-yielding metabolism* and the normal function of the nervous system*. It also contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E* and increases the absorption of iron*.
Optimum Zinc combines zinc with vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) fruit extract which is a source of vitamin C, and copper. Zinc and copper are metals that function as cofactors in many enzymes and have interrelated metabolism, which is why they are often found together in a formula.
Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system*, the protection of cells from oxidative stress*, the normal synthesis of DNA*, the normal protein synthesis* and the maintenance of the normal condition of hair, nails and skin*. Copper also contributes to the normal function of the immune system* and the protection of cells from oxidative stress*.
Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the form produced by human skin upon exposure to sunlight. In Greek geographical latitudes, endogenous production is significantly limited during the winter months and in people who work indoors.
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bone condition*, normal tooth condition* and normal muscle function*, the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus*, the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels*, the normal function of the immune system* and has a role in cell division*.
The set is aimed at adults who want to cover three essential micronutrients in one package. It suits people with limited sun exposure, those with a monotonous diet with few fresh fruits and vegetables, during busy periods and those who want an organized solution for the season.
It is not intended for children without a doctor's recommendation. If you are already taking a multivitamin or another supplement containing vitamin D or zinc, check the total daily intake to avoid overlap. In pregnancy, breastfeeding or medication, always consult a doctor or pharmacist first.
They can be taken on the same day. Each product has its own packaging with its own instructions, so follow each one's label and do not exceed the recommended daily dose of any of the three.
Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, so it is best absorbed with a meal containing fat. Zinc on an empty stomach can be bothersome, so it is usually taken with food. Vitamin C is water-soluble and can be taken at any time of the day.
Vitamin C and zinc each have 30 tablets, while vitamin D3 has 60 soft capsules. The duration depends on the dosage indicated on each product's label.
Yes, zinc should be taken at least two hours away from tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics because it decreases their absorption. If you are taking such an antibiotic, ask your pharmacist for the correct scheduling.
Vitamin D3 is provided in soft capsules. The capsule form and the origin of D3 are indicated on the label of the specific product; check before purchasing if you follow a strict vegetarian diet.
Measuring 25(OH)D in the blood is the only way to know your levels and is useful especially if you are considering prolonged use or higher doses. Discuss this with your doctor.
Yes, the set is designed as a gift package. However, since it is a dietary supplement, it is best if the recipient is not on medication or discusses it first with their doctor.
