Natural Factors 100% Natural Fruit Chew C 500 mg - This
kid-friendly vitamin C is gentle on teeth and is so tasty they think
they're getting a treat. Naturally flavored and sweetened, 100% Natural
Fruit Chew C is an excellent source of vitamin C for the young and the
young at heart.
Vitamin C is a necessary building block for maintaining all collagen
structures, promoting wound repair, strong bones and teeth, and healthy
gums. As a powerful antioxidant, it protects the aqueous areas of the
body (including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid)
from free radicals. Vitamin C protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation
and helps regenerate vitamin E.
As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body can not store vitamin C,
making regular supplementation vital. The body's need for vitamin C
increases during times of stress because vitamin C participates in the
production of vital chemicals such as norepinephrine, which is needed
for the "fight or flight" response. Vitamin C also acts as a detoxifier,
helping to cleanse the body of toxins, such as cigarette smoke, carbon
monoxide, etc.
This healthful product also includes bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are
vitamin-like molecules that are found in the peel of citrus fruits and
other fruits and vegetables. They enhance the activity of vitamin C and
may improve the body's ability to hold and absorb vitamin C by 35%.

acid) 500 mg

Contraindications
Vitamin C may increase the absorption of aluminum from
aluminum-containing antacids such as ALternaGEL, Amphojel, Basaljel,
Nephrox, Maalox, and Mylanta. Take vitamin C at least 2 hours before or
after taking one of these products.
Certain medicines, such as antibiotics, blood thinners and aspirin may
interact with vitamin C. Consult a health care practitioner if you are
on any medications. Some interactions may increase the need for vitamin
C, other interactions may be negative.
As this product contains citrus bioflavonoids, there is one caution:
bioflavonoids are non-toxic so drug interactions are virtually unknown;
however, citrus bioflavonoids contain grapefruit flavonoids that may
interact with certain medications. The reason that grapefruit is
problematic with certain drugs is that it contains high levels of a
flavonoid (plant pigment) called naringin. This substance reduces the
activity of a group of P450 enzymes known as CYP3A enzymes.
● Your body uses these enzymes to break down certain drugs, such as
calcium channel blockers (used in the treatment of high blood pressure),
sedatives (for example, midazolam), cyclosporin (an immune suppressant
given to people who have received organ transplants) and statins
(lipid-lowering drugs). If the drugs are not metabolized, they remain in
the body in higher concentrations, increasing the risk of unwanted toxic
effects. If taking these drugs, be aware of this effect and consult a
health care practitioner.
Recommended Adult Dosage: 1 wafer daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Consult a
health care practitioner for use beyond 4 weeks. |
