Vitamin C

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that the human body cannot produce itself, so it has to be obtained from food. Excess vitamin C is excreted from the body with urine and sweat. It occurs naturally mainly in fresh fruit and vegetables, such as acerola, blackcurrants, oranges, strawberries, kale, Brussels sprouts, peppers and kohlrabi. OstroVit Vitamin C 1000 mg provides 1000 mg of vitamin C in one capsule.

• Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.
• Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin C is a sensitive compound whose content in food decreases with heat, light and longer storage. In a capsule, the amount of vitamin C is the same every day and easy to keep track of.

How to use?

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you also use a multivitamin or other food supplements containing vitamin C, take their amounts into account too.
