Full Prescribing Info
Action
This medicine contains Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin which helps protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable chemicals generated during normal body activities that require oxygen (e.g., respiration, digestion, blood circulation, immune system response, etc.) and after exposure to UV light, cigarette smoke and various pollutants.
Vitamin C forms part of the body's natural immune system and stimulates the activity of specialized white blood cells which inhibit harmful bacteria and viruses. Vitamin C is also needed for the formation of the protein, collagen. Collagen is important in the formation of bones, teeth, cartilage, and skin and helps promote faster wound healing.
