General Information
Blackmores Bio C 500mg Chewable is a great tasting
orange flavoured chewable vitamin C supplement for the whole
family. Bio C Chewable is buffered with mineral ascorbates
making it gentle on the stomach, and contains bioflavonoids.
Vitamin C is commonly used to:
* reduce the severity of colds and allergic reactions;
* assist wound healing.

Vitamin C is involved in hundreds of biological processes, the
most important being in the manufacture of collagen, the major
protein in the body. Collagen is a structural protein found in
tissue, cartilage and tendons, and it helps to support blood
vessels. Due to its structural role in collagen synthesis vitamin C
is necessary for wound repair, healthy gums, and prevention of
bruising and to protect against infection.
Vitamin C is water-soluble and only small amounts are stored in
the body after it is absorbed from the intestine. It is an
antioxidant in water, and therefore helps to neutralise
potentially harmful reactions in the blood and the watery fluid
inside and outside the body’s cells.
