Twin pack: Vitamin C - 1,000 mg per daily dose (2 capsules) - 99% purity - 2 x 180 capsules

Well equipped for every challenge in any weather with Vitamin C

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is the best-known and one of the most important vitamins the body needs to live. Ascorbic acid fulfils numerous functions in the body. Above all, vitamin C is enormously important for the immune system and for cellular protection, as it works in a similar way to a rust inhibitor. It protects cells from oxidation and thus neutralises free radicals (aggressive oxygen molecules remaining from metabolic processes).

Vitamin C is the all‑rounder among vitamins

Vitamin C is also involved in various metabolic processes and in the formation of collagen for cartilage, bones, skin, blood vessels, connective tissue and teeth. A good supply of vitamin C is therefore of great importance for maintaining health.

Its effect was discovered rather by chance in 1752 by a ship’s doctor. He noticed that fresh fruit, such as lemons and oranges, helped against the then‑common seafarers’ disease scurvy. Sailors at that time often suffered from tooth decay, joint inflammation and muscle wasting. Fresh food was rarely available at sea. In 1933, Walter Norman Haworth then elucidated the chemical structure of vitamin C, for which he received a Nobel Prize.

Why Unimedica Vitamin C capsules?

Because the body cannot store vitamin C sufficiently, it must be taken regularly through the diet. Long transport routes and storage times reduce the vitamin C content in fruit and vegetables.

Citrus fruits in particular often travel a long way to reach us. To prevent them from spoiling they are harvested before full ripeness and therefore cannot develop their full nutritional value. They are then ripened and stored under gases, in some cases for several years.

It is therefore better to rely on fresh, local sources of vitamin C or on supplements such as Unimedica Vitamin C capsules.

Each jar of Unimedica Vitamin C capsules contains 180 capsules. This corresponds to a 3‑month supply.
