Description
Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is an important nutrient which must be obtained from the diet or by supplementation, as it cannot be synthesized by the human body. Vitamin C is one of the most labile dietary nutrients, being easily destroyed by cooking or food processing. Vitamin C is essential for normal tissue growth and repair, playing a vital role in collagen formation and strengthening capillary blood vessels. Vitamin C strengthens ligaments and tendons, prevents bruising and is required for wound healing. Vitamin C helps to maintain healthy gums and normal immune function. Vitamin C is the primary water soluble antioxidant vitamin within the human body, protecting the aqueous cytoplasm within the main body of the cell from damage by free radicals.
Ingredients
Each tablet of Bio-C-Vitamin contains 750mg of vitamin C.
Contraindications
As vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron from the diet, high intake of vitamin C should not be taken by patients with iron overload syndromes (e.g. haematochromatosis, thalasaemia). High intake of vitamin C should not be taken by individuals with a susceptibility to kidney stone formation.
