Vitamin C, ascorbic acidChemical Namesascorbic acid Ingredients Active Ingredients: ascorbic acid Non-active ingredients: tartrazine (FD&C Yellow No.5) Indications Vitamin C is essential to a healthy diet and as well as being highly effective antioxidant, acting to lessen oxidative stress. It also prevents many diseases, such as scurvy. Vitamin C may occasionally be used as a supplement in patients with chronic illnesses, infections, conditions with fever, burns, and certain types of blood disorders, and in infants or smokers. It may be used to improve the general health and well-being of institutionalized elderly patients; to promote healing after surgery, trauma, and fractures; to prevent the common cold; to treat asthma; and to decrease recovery time from cold sores, pressure sores, rectal polyps, and other lesions. It is also used as a urinary acidifier at high doses. How It Works Vitamin C is involved with several functions in the body, including the following: utilization of carbohydrates; formation of fats and proteins; maintenance of blood vessels; cell respiration; formation of connective tissues (e.g.: collagen); promotion of growth, tissue repair, and wound healing; aiding tooth and bone formation; increasing iron absorption; resistance to infections. Formulation Oral tablets (500 mg) Dosage One tablet per day is sufficient. Precautions Use with caution if you have a history of kidney stones. Adequate studies have not been done in pregnant women.
