What is vitamin C?

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. The human body cannot produce it on its own, so vitamin C has to be obtained from food or food supplements. It occurs naturally in fresh fruit and vegetables such as peppers, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, blackcurrants, lemons and strawberries. OstroVit Vitamin C powder contains vitamin C as L-ascorbic acid, one of the most common forms of vitamin C in food supplements. The powder form is a good choice for people who find swallowing tablets or capsules uncomfortable: the powder can be mixed with water or juice and taken as a drink. Unflavoured L-ascorbic acid naturally has a sour taste, which is why it is convenient to mix it with juice.

How to use?

Dissolve one serving, i.e. 1 g of powder (1 scoop), in 100–150 ml of water or juice. Use the 1 ml measuring scoop included in the package. Do not dissolve the powder in hot water. Take one serving a day, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, and if you also use other food supplements or fortified drinks containing vitamin C, take their amounts into account. After use, keep the package tightly closed in a dry place.
