The large package of 120 tablets is the household choice. It is aimed at adults who take vitamin C steadily and not occasionally, or in households where the same box is used by more than one person. The cost per tablet drops significantly compared to smaller packages, and you don’t need to reorder every month.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Unlike most animals, humans do not have the enzyme needed to synthesize it on their own, so the only source is food or supplementation. Because it is not stored in the body to a significant degree, its intake makes sense to be daily and steady.
Each tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C. This is a dose significantly higher than the reference amount that covers the daily dietary need, which is why the category of 1 gram formulations is so common as a seasonal choice in pharmacies.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth, and blood vessels*. Collagen is the protein that gives structure to connective tissues and vitamin C is an essential cofactor in its synthesis.
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism* and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*. It also contributes to the normal function of the nervous system* and to normal psychological function*.
Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress* and to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E*. It also increases the absorption of iron*, which is of practical importance for those who take iron or follow a vegetarian diet, where iron is non-heme and is absorbed more difficultly.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system*. The claim is about the normal function of the system and not about any therapeutic action.
It suits adults who want a steady daily intake of vitamin C for a long period, smokers, whose needs for vitamin C are increased, people with a diet poor in fresh fruits and vegetables, those with a heavy work or exercise schedule, and those who take iron and want to improve its absorption.
It is not intended for children without a doctor’s recommendation. People with a history of kidney stones, kidney failure, or hemochromatosis should consult a doctor before taking high doses of vitamin C. The same applies in pregnancy, lactation, and medication.
Follow the dosage listed on the packaging and do not exceed it. If you have any doubts, our pharmacist can guide you based on your diet and your other supplement program.
It depends on the dosage on the label. With one tablet per day, the pack lasts for four months, which is practically the entire cold season.
Vitamin C is water-soluble and is easily absorbed at any time. Many prefer it in the morning with breakfast. If you have a sensitive stomach, taking it with food is more comfortable, because ascorbic acid is acidic.
The excess of vitamin C is mainly excreted in the urine, as it is not stored. Very high doses may cause gastrointestinal intolerance, soft stools, or bloating. Therefore, adhere to the recommended dose.
Yes, the combination is reasonable, as vitamin C increases iron absorption*. However, if your iron has been prescribed, inform your doctor about the supplement.
High doses of vitamin C can interfere with some laboratory measurements, such as glucose testing with strips or the detection of blood in stool. Report the intake to the lab before the test.
In a cool and dry place, with the cap tightly closed and away from direct sunlight and moisture. The bathroom is not a suitable storage area. Check the expiration date, especially for packages that last for months.
