Annique Vitamin C 30 Tablets
Annique Vitamin C 30 Tablets
Vitamin C is very important as a daily supplement as its rich in antioxidants that help maintain good health.
Vitamin C benefits:
Vitamin C has always been linked to immune support, and also:
- Contributes to iron absorption from plant-based foods
- Contributes to maintain the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical stress
- Helps to metabolise fats and proteins
- Helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums by supporting collagen formation in the body
- Contributes to the normal function of blood vessels
- Helps in wound healing
Why we should supplement with vitamin C daily:
- Vitamin C is water soluble which means that it gets flushed out of the body
- The human body itself can’t produce it, so intake through diet is necessary
- We don’t get enough through foods and fruits, so supplementation is key
- Some medications, like aspirin, oral contraceptives, and corticosteroids, may interfere with absorption
The suggested adult intake on buffered Vitamin C is minimum of 500mg and up to 1000mg per day. If you suffer from colds and flus the intake can be increased with help of your healthcare practitioner.
People at risk of vitamin C deficiency:
- Smokers and those with poor diets: Smoking and inadequate consumption of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables can deplete the body’s vitamin C levels.
- Those with challenged digestive systems: Conditions like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease hinder proper vitamin C absorption, as does undergoing dialysis.
- Elderly: Age-related changes may reduce vitamin C intake and absorption efficiency.
- Regular alcohol drinkers: Excessive alcohol consumption interferes with vitamin C absorption and utilization.
- People with certain chronic diseases: Conditions like diabetes or certain cancers may increase vitamin C requirements or elevate the risk of deficiency
Did you know? Not all forms of vitamin C are created equal. Most vitamin C supplements contain ascorbic acid which is super effective but can cause stomach discomfort for many because of its high levels of acidity. Calcium ascorbate has a lower acidity and is therefore gentler on the digestive system.

Calcium Ascorbate |
| Differences | Differences | |
| Purest form of vitamin C, but is a relatively strong acid, which can cause stomach discomfort |
Buffered form of vitamin C, meaning it is combined with calcium to make it less acidic, which is then gentler on your stomach. Added Benefit – Calcium is an essential mineral for bone health, muscle function and nerve transmission. |
