Product Summary

A premium timed-release vitamin C supplement delivering 1000mg of ascorbic acid + 50mg citrus bioflavonoids per tablet.

Key Benefits

• Extended Immune Defense: Timed-release technology maintains vitamin C levels for 8+ hours, supporting continuous white blood cell function against infections (e.g., malaria, colds).

• Collagen & Skin Vitality: Sustained vitamin C release promotes skin elasticity, wound healing, and joint health.
• Iron Absorption Boost: Improves uptake of plant-based iron from Kenyan staples (e.g., beans, dark leafy greens).
• Bonus Pack Value: 50% extra tablets (90 vs. 60) for long-term immunity support at no added cost.
• Gentle on Stomach: Timed-release minimizes acidity-related discomfort.

1. How long does the bonus pack last?
   90 days (1 tablet daily)—50% longer than standard 60-tablet packs.

2. Why add bioflavonoids?
   They extend vitamin C’s antioxidant activity, improve absorption, and reduce inflammation.

   • Dietary Support: Compensates for vitamin C loss in cooked staples (e.g., sukuma wiki).
   • Malaria Resilience: Sustained vitamin C shortens infection recovery time.

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