Delayed release of vitamin C thanks to time-delay release pellet technology

The careful formulation of Vitamin C Retard capsules from Unimedica ensures the delayed and even release of the active ingredient, vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The small pellets consist of several layers of vitamin C that are released over time in a sustained way, providing the body with a constant supply of vitamin C lasting many hours.

Water-soluble vitamin C is essential for our bodies. It supports the body’s defences and protects the cells from oxidative stress. Yet vitamin C is also important for the normal firmness and elasticity of skin and tissues like cartilage, bones, teeth and blood vessels. It contributes to the normal formation of collagen, a structural protein.

With time-delay release, the body can use vitamin C continuously

Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble and heat-sensitive vitamin. The body itself can neither use nor make it. Whatever is not needed is excreted unused. The special formulation of Vitamin C Retard capsules as ascorbic acid pellets with a shellac coating ensures that the valuable vitamin is steadily released over a period of up to 8 hours. This enables the optimal use of the daily dose of ascorbic acid. The capsules are supplied in a brown bottle. This ensures that the valuable ingredients are well-protected from light and moisture.

Alternative Vitamin C Sources

Vitamin C is found in many types of fruit and vegetable – especially citrus fruits and sweet potatoes but berries, acerola and rosehips also contain a lot of ascorbic acid. Yet it is used immediately in the body. For an optimal supply of vitamin C, it is important to eat fresh fruit and vegetables or drink juice.

Vitamin C Retard is high-dose

Vitamin C Retard capsules from Unimedica are high-dose and contain 500 mg vitamin C per capsule and daily dose. 1 capsule meets 625 % of the daily recommended dose of vitamin C (percentage of nutrient reference values according to Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 (FIC)).
