Indications

Vitamin C and Vitamin E have both been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. When taken together, evidence suggests they may work synergistically, enhancing each other's protective effect.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Vitamin C is essential for forming collagen and repairing tissue. It also takes part in oxidation-reduction reactions and other metabolic processes, including the synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine, and steroids, and it helps convert folic acid into folinic acid.

Vitamin E helps protect red blood cells from breaking down (hemolysis) and shields the polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes from damage by free radicals. It also helps prevent the oxidation of vitamins A and C.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Category A. Well-conducted human studies have not shown any risk to the baby when this is used during the first trimester, and later trimesters show no evidence of risk either.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Vitamin C & E capsules are taken by mouth. For adults, the usual dose is 1 capsule a day, or as advised by the registered physician.
