Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which are the building materials of all connective tissues such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone. Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groups of enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of collagen fibers-lysyl hydroxylases and prolyl hydroxylases. As such, vitamin C is essential for normal wound healing and capillary health. Vitamin C participates in the biosynthesis of carnitine, serotonin and certain neurotransmitters including norepinephrine. Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in humans and animals. It is a water- soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant that reacts directly with superoxide, hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen. The antioxidant functions of vitamin C appear to have clinical significance in providing protection from free radical damage to the eyes, lungs, blood and the immune system. Vitamin C is absorbed in the small intestine by a sodium-dependent transport process that is intake dependent. At normal dietary intakes of 60-100 mg, up to 80 or 90% of the vitamin C is absorbed. At higher intakes, absorption becomes less efficient. Absorption efficiency and vitamin C utilization may be greatly enhanced during conditions of physiological stress such as trauma or infection. Maximal absorption is attained by the ingestion of several doses spaced throughout the day rather than in one, larger dose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C 500 mg Chewable may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to increase their daily intake of this antioxidant vitamin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"supplement-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"serving-size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 Chewable Vegetarian Tablet Contains\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"supplement-facts-table\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:480px; border-collapse:collapse; margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 8px 6px 0;\"\u003eVitamin C (as sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:right; white-space:nowrap; padding:6px 0 6px 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e500 mg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"other-ingredients\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fructose, sorbitol, cellulose, vegetable stearin, silica, natural orange flavor, orange juice crystals, magnesium stearate, natural tangerine flavor and natural pineapple flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"allergen-info\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product contains NO salt, dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults chew 1 tablet, 1 to 2 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSide Effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo adverse effects have been reported\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.
