Vitamin C – Dietary Supplement contains a highly purified source of ascorbic acid and is comparable to reagent grade vitamin C. In addition, no chemical lubricants are used in the encapsulation process and this product contains no diluents, preservatives or binders, thus insuring maximal tolerance and absorption. Vitamin C plays a critical role in your body. It is a powerful antioxidant, aids in wound healing, stimulates white blood cell immune activity and helps the body combat colds, flu and other infections. It also supports cardiovascular health and aids in iron absorption. Vitamin C deficiency can be a real problem and is not uncommon when undergoing emotional stress or higher levels of physical stress such as burns, surgery, or other trauma. It is very beneficial when dealing with other ailments such as allergies and infections.

One to two capsules per day after a meal or as directed by your physician. For patients with a Vitamin C deficiency and/or constipation (less than 3 bowel movements per day), add 1 capsule per day over 2 doses (morning and evening) until bowel tolerance (the dose tolerated by a patient without producing diarrhea) is reached. Some patients require up to 12 capsules per day (6 in the morning and 6 in the evening) to reach bowel tolerance. Hemolysis is possible when taking vitamin C of any type in patients with a G6PD deficiency and should be monitored.
