General description

Vitamin C contains a highly purified source of ascorbic acid and is of a quality comparable to pure vitamin C reagent. It is a hypoallergenic form produced from tapioca instead of corn - without traces of corn antigen and other allergens - benefiting people with food sensitivities who cannot consume other, less pure forms of ascorbic acid. Furthermore, no additional chemical agents are used in the encapsulation process, and the product contains no solvents, preservatives, or binders, ensuring maximum tolerance and absorption by the body. Vitamin C plays a key role in your body. It is a powerful antioxidant, supports wound healing, stimulates the immune activity of white blood cells, and helps the body fight colds, flu, and other infections. It also supports the cardiovascular system and aids iron absorption. Vitamin C deficiency can be a serious problem and is not uncommon in cases of emotional stress or higher levels of physical stress such as burns, surgeries, or other traumas. It is very beneficial for other ailments such as allergies and infections.

Customer reviews

"My daughter and husband came home with a terrible cold - they had runny noses, sneezed, and their noses were dripping. I gave each of them Nutramedix Vitamin C and they woke up the next day feeling like newborns! (I was nervous because they had bad reactions to other vitamin C products.) It's wonderful!" - R.I.

"I am very sensitive to corn derivatives. I am delighted that I finally found a safe vitamin C for me! I definitely improved my energy level and immune system function." - A.B

"As a smoker, I always feel exhausted. I felt very burdened in my daily life. When I used this vitamin C, I immediately had more energy and made it through another day." - N.L.

Dosage instructions

1 to 2 capsules daily after a meal or as directed. For people with vitamin C deficiency and/or constipation (less than 3 bowel movements per day), add 1 capsule per day in 2 doses (morning and evening) until digestive system tolerance level is reached (tolerated dose that does not cause diarrhea). Some require even 12 capsules daily (6 in the morning and 6 in the evening) to reach digestive system tolerance level. 1-30 drops in 120 ml of water twice daily 30 minutes before meals (start with 1 drop per 120 ml of water and increase the amount with each dose). Hemolysis is also possible when taking any type of vitamin C in people with G6PD deficiency - in such cases, regular check-ups should be conducted.

Safety information

An acute oral toxicity study was conducted by the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador, which concluded that Vitamin C did not cause toxic effects, therefore the product is considered practically harmless to humans when administered acutely. Consequently, acute toxicity studies at higher doses in humans are not necessary.
