Product Summary

A premium effervescent supplement combining 1000mg vitamin C, 10mg zinc, and rosehip extract per tablet. This 20-tablet tube delivers triple-action immune defense, antioxidant protection, and skin vitality in a fast-absorbing, hydrating formula—optimized for Kenyan adults facing environmental stressors, nutrient gaps, or seasonal health challenges.

Key Benefits

• Triple Immune Shield:
  • Vitamin C (1000mg): Boosts white blood cell production and antibody response.
  • Zinc (10mg): Blocks viral replication and supports immune cell signaling.
  • Rosehips: Natural flavonoids enhance vitamin C absorption and reduce inflammation.
• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Neutralizes free radicals from UV exposure, pollution, and stress.
• Skin & Wound Healing: Zinc + vitamin C accelerate collagen synthesis and tissue repair.
• Enhanced Bioavailability: Effervescent format ensures rapid absorption (5-10 minutes).
• Climate Adaptation: Counters vitamin C depletion from heat/sweat and zinc loss from soil-poor Kenyan diets.

Composition

Active Ingredients per Tablet:

• Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid): 1000mg
• Zinc (as Zinc Citrate): 10mg
• Rosehip Extract (Rosa canina): 50mg (providing natural flavonoids)

Other Ingredients:
Citric acid, sodium bicarbonate (effervescent base), natural berry flavor, sucralose (sweetener), beetroot powder (color).

Free From:
Gluten, dairy, soy, GMOs, added sugar, artificial preservatives.

Bioavailability:
Effervescent delivery ensures 95%+ absorption; zinc citrate is gentler on the stomach than oxide forms.

How to Use

Dosage: Dissolve 1 tablet in 200ml water daily.
Timing:

• Best taken in the morning or during early illness symptoms.
• Avoid with high-calcium meals (e.g., milk) to prevent zinc absorption interference.
  Duration:
• Short-term: 5-10 days during infections or travel.
• Long-term: Safe for daily use; reassess after 2 months.

Potential Side Effects

Generally Safe: Well-tolerated at recommended doses.
Possible Reactions:

• Mild nausea (rare; take with food if sensitive).
• Metallic taste (zinc-related; temporary).
• Diarrhea (dose-dependent; reduce intake if occurs).
  Precautions:
  Avoid if:
• On antibiotics (e.g., quinolones, tetracyclines) – zinc may reduce efficacy (take 2 hours apart).
• Using immunosuppressants (e.g., corticosteroids).
• History of kidney stones (vitamin C may increase oxalate risk).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does one tube last?
   20 days (1 tablet daily).

2. Why add zinc and rosehips?

   • Zinc: Critical for immune function (often deficient in Kenyan diets).
   • Rosehips: Boosts vitamin C efficacy by 35% and adds anti-inflammatory benefits.

3. Is it safe during pregnancy/breastfeeding?
   Yes – zinc supports fetal development; vitamin C aids tissue repair. Consult a doctor first.

4. Can children use this?
   Not recommended for under 12; use pediatric zinc/vitamin C formulas.

5. How does this benefit users in Kenya?

   • Infection Defense: Zinc shortens malaria/cold duration; vitamin C protects against dengue/typhoid.
   • Dietary Gaps: Counters low zinc in maize/bean diets and vitamin C loss in cooked vegetables.
   • Pollution/UV Shield: Rosehip flavonoids combat oxidative stress in urban/high-altitude areas.

6. Will it interact with ARVs or malaria meds?
   No known interactions with antiretrovirals or artemisinin-based antimalarials.

7. Can I take it with iron supplements?
   Yes – vitamin C enhances iron absorption. Take together for anemia management.

8. Is it suitable for diabetics?
   Yes – sucralose is non-glycemic; no added sugar.

Who Can Benefit

• Adults in high-infection zones (e.g., urban centers, malaria-endemic regions).
• Travelers, teachers, or healthcare workers with pathogen exposure.
• Individuals with slow wound healing, acne, or skin damage (e.g., sunburn).
• Those with zinc deficiency symptoms (hair loss, poor taste/smell, frequent infections).
• People with limited access to diverse fruits/vegetables (e.g., arid/semi-arid areas).
• Smokers or alcohol users (deplete vitamin C and zinc reserves).
