Common Interactions

• Calcium or Iron supplements — Zinc absorption may be reduced; separate by 2 hours
• Anticoagulants (Warfarin) — High-dose Vitamin C may influence anticoagulant effect; monitor INR

Special Instructions

Mechanism of Action

• Natural Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): A potent water-soluble antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, stimulates collagen synthesis, enhances iron absorption, and supports immune cell function (neutrophil and lymphocyte activity). Also regenerates Vitamin E and supports skin barrier integrity
• Zinc Sulphate: Essential trace mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions. Supports immune cell development, wound healing, antioxidant defence, and the integrity of the skin and mucosal barriers. Reduces the duration and severity of common cold symptoms
• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Regulates calcium and phosphorus absorption for bone health, modulates immune cell differentiation, and reduces excessive inflammatory responses. Deficiency is linked to increased susceptibility to respiratory infections

Together they form a synergistic immune-supporting triad with complementary antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and structural roles.

Instructions to Take

• Chew the tablet thoroughly before swallowing
• Can be taken with or without food
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose — excess Vitamin C is excreted but very high doses may cause kidney stones
• Separate from thyroid medication, iron, or calcium supplements by at least 2 hours
• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
