If you suffer from serious chronic diseases, it is advisable to seek advice from your doctor before taking any dietary supplement.

Vita C supplements can be taken with food, as vitamin C promotes iron absorption.

Strawberry-flavored chewable tablets are a pleasant alternative for people who prefer convenient and quick administration.

Vita C products do not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

Although generally well tolerated, Vita C products may cause minor side effects such as:

• Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, abdominal discomfort) with high doses.
• Rare allergic reactions

Vita C products present a low risk of drug interactions, but caution should be exercised in case of concomitant administration with:

• Anticoagulant drugs - Vitamin C in high doses may reduce the effect of anticoagulants such as warfarin

• Thyroid medications

Overdose of vitamin C is rare, but very high doses (over 2000 mg/day) can lead to:

• Gastrointestinal upset (diarrhea, abdominal cramps)
• Increased risk of kidney stones in predisposed individuals

In case of overdose, it is recommended to consult a doctor for personalized indications.

Vita C products should be stored in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Observe the shelf life indicated on the packaging.
