| Vitamin C Formulations Our daily requirement for vitamin C is
higher than for any other water-soluble vitamin. It is highly unstable and easily
destroyed by the processed of storing, peeling, freezing and cooking and so it is not
always possible to be sure how much is taken in the diet.
Vitamin C is needed for: * the production of collagen, a tough fibrous protein which is an
integral part of the skin, tendons, bones, gums, teeth and blood vessels, * its protective
role as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant properties, * a healthy immune system, *
helping to maintain normal blood fat and cholesterol levels, * the growth and repair of
tissue, * fat metabolism |

| 8133 Vitamin C 1000mg + Bioflavonoids Time Release Plus Bioflavonoids
Vitamin C is water-soluble and therefore needs to be taken in small amounts throughout the
day and night because it is rapidly lost from the body. However, this is not always
convenient which is why we have formulated Time Release Vitamin C tablets.
These are produced by a special process that retains the nutrient in micro-pellets
allowing it to be released slowly after the tablet has been swallowed. This means that the
absorption of vitamin C is a continuous process as the gradual release takes place over
6-8 hours.
This is an ideal supplement
for people:
* whose busy lifestyle leads
to irregular eating habits
* who are elderly and find
preparing nourishing meals difficult
* who miss meals
* who are convalescing
* who find it difficult to
ensure a regular intake of vitamin C throughout the day.
Recommended daily intake: 1-3 tablets
