What is vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid?

Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble organic compound. The human body cannot produce vitamin C itself, so it has to be obtained every day from food or food supplements. As vitamin C dissolves in water, it is not stored in the body in large amounts – excess amounts are excreted mainly in the urine. Vitamin C occurs naturally above all in fresh fruit and vegetables. Rich sources include acerola, blackcurrants, oranges and strawberries, as well as kale, Brussels sprouts, peppers and kohlrabi. In this product OstroVit uses L-ascorbic acid, the most common form of vitamin C in food supplements. One capsule contains 1000 mg of vitamin C, which is many times the nutrient reference value for adults (80 mg).

How to use?

Take one serving, i.e. 1 capsule a day, with a glass of water. One capsule is also the recommended daily dose, which must not be exceeded. If you also take other food supplements containing vitamin C, such as multivitamins, take their amounts into account as well. The product is intended for adults. Do not use the product if you have a predisposition to kidney stones or suffer from kidney stones. One package lasts for 250 days with the recommended use.
