Vitamin C and Your Wellbeing

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in many bodily functions. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and supports normal collagen formation for healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels.* These are authorised health claims by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralise free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage.

• Immune Support: Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Antioxidant Action: It helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Collagen Formation: Essential for normal collagen synthesis.

Forms of Vitamin C on the Market

Vitamin C supplements are available in several forms: ascorbic acid (the most common and cost-effective), sodium ascorbate (a buffered option for sensitive stomachs), liposomal vitamin C, and whole-food concentrates like acerola. KAL Defender-C use ascorbic acid, which is well-absorbed and tolerated by most individuals. The RapidSolv technology does not change the form but enhances the dissolution rate.

Selecting the Right Vitamin C Supplement

When choosing a vitamin C product, consider the dosage, form, and any special features. A 1000 mg dose is standard for daily maintenance. If you prefer a tablet that dissolves quickly, look for rapid-release technology. Other factors like non-GMO certification or vegan suitability may influence your decision – check the label for details. KAL Defender-C provides a straightforward, high-potency option with rapid dissolution.

Usage and Safety Information

The recommended daily allowance for vitamin C is lower than 1000 mg for most adults, but higher doses are commonly used for supplementary purposes. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by a health care professional. As vitamin C is water-soluble, excess is usually excreted in urine, but very high intakes may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult your doctor before use. Keep out of reach of children. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
