Product introduction
Limcee Vitamin C Chewable Tablet is an orange-flavoured nutritional supplement that provides Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), an essential nutrient the body cannot make on its own. It is used to treat and prevent Vitamin C deficiency and its severe form, scurvy, and to support overall health. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, helps the body form collagen for healthy skin, bones and blood vessels, supports the immune system and improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. As a chewable tablet, it is convenient to take without water. It is available over the counter, but it is still best used in the dose your doctor or pharmacist advises.
Storage: Store in a cool and dry place below 25°C. Protect from moisture and keep out of the reach of children.
