Product Fact Sheet

Vitamin C with Zinc+

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that has antioxidant properties, protecting cells from free radicals. As excess intake of water-soluble vitamins is excreted through urine, it is suggested that time-release vitamin C is more advantageous as it promotes delayed and continual absorption throughout the day.

VitaHealth Vitamin C with Zinc+ offers superior antioxidant protection with combined high-strength vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, rutin, hesperidin and zinc in a single tablet.

It is designed to provide longer-lasting action as half its content are released rapidly after ingestion and the other half over an extended period of up to 8 hours.

Each tablet contains:

Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)	1000mg
Citrus aurantium extract standardised to 50% citrus bioflavonoids quantified as hesperidin (50mg)	100mg
