Who is this for?

Vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid) is a vitamin supplement that helps your body fight infections, heal wounds faster, and absorb iron from the food you eat.

Acts as a reducing agent and electron donor in enzymatic hydroxylation reactions, facilitating collagen synthesis, carnitine formation, and catecholamine metabolism while enhancing non-heme iron absorption through reduction of ferric to ferrous iron. Serves as a cofactor for cytochrome P450 enzymes and antioxidant systems, scavenging reactive oxygen species and regenerating other antioxidants including vitamin E and glutathione.

Is Vitamin safe to take with another drug?

For general supplementation, take 1 tablet (100mg to 500mg) once or twice daily, with or after food. You can take it with water or chew it if it is a chewable tablet like Remgvite Vitamin C Chewable Tablet. For treating a deficiency, your doctor may recommend up to 1000mg daily, but do not exceed this without medical advice.

If you miss a dose, just take it when you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. No need to double up — Vitamin C is not the type of drug where missing one dose will cause problems.

• Stomach upset or mild belly pain
• diarrhea or loose stool (especially at high doses)
• nausea
• heartburn or acid reflux

If you are taking iron tablets (like ferrous sulfate for blood tonic), Vitamin C increases iron absorption — this can be helpful but take them together only if your doctor says so. If you are on blood-thinning drugs like warfarin, high doses of Vitamin C may reduce their effect. Avoid taking very high doses of Vitamin C at the same time as aluminium-containing antacids (like some ulcer drugs) as it can increase aluminium absorption.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can damage vitamins quickly. Keep the container tightly closed to protect from humidity and moisture. Always keep out of reach of children, especially chewable tablets that may look like sweets.
