Medicine Description vitamin-c-500-cr 500mg
Vitamin-C CR 500 mg 20 Capsules is a medication that delivers ascorbic acid in a controlled-release formulation. This method allows for a gradual release of vitamin C into the bloodstream, thus maintaining stable plasma levels over an extended period. Ascorbic acid functions as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals, which can cause oxidative stress and cellular damage. Additionally, it aids in the synthesis of collagen, a crucial protein for skin integrity, wound healing, and the health of blood vessels.
