Why Choose Vitadefence Vitamin C Multi with Botanicals and Minerals?

Vitamin C Contributes to:

• Normal function of the immune system
• Normal function of the nervous system

Each capsule provides 512 mg vitamin C (640% NRV).

Selenium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B6 Also Contribute to the Normal Function of the Immune System

Selenium, vitamin D and vitamin B6 also contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

Will this cause diarrhea? High-dose vitamin C can cause loose stools in some people, typically at doses above 2000mg daily. Start with 1 capsule and increase as tolerated. Taking with food can help.

Why combine vitamin C with so many other ingredients? Immune health is complex. Multiple nutrients work together—vitamin C, D, zinc, selenium, B6 all contribute to normal immune function. The botanicals provide additional traditional immune support.

Can I take this with other vitamin C supplements? Check your total vitamin C intake. While safe at high doses, combining multiple high-dose C supplements may exceed bowel tolerance for some people.

Should I take this year-round or just during cold season? Both approaches work. Take 1 capsule 1 to 3 times a day, as on the label.

Does the garlic cause bad breath? No. Aged black garlic has a milder smell than raw garlic.

Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners? Consult your doctor. The garlic and ginger content may interact with anticoagulant medications.

Is vitamin C better absorbed from food or supplements? Both work. Food provides vitamin C with fiber and other nutrients. Our formula combines both approaches.

Can children take this? This product is formulated for adults. Consult a pediatrician for children's vitamin C needs.

Will this prevent me from getting sick? No supplement can guarantee you won't get sick. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Generally compatible with:

• Most vitamins and minerals (check vitamin C total)
• Probiotics (this contains some but you can add more)
• Omega-3 supplements
• Most other Vitadefence supplements

Take separately from:

• Iron supplements (2+ hours apart—vitamin C enhances iron absorption which could cause excess)
• Copper supplements (vitamin C may reduce copper absorption)

Use caution with:

• Other high-dose vitamin C supplements (check total intake)
• Blood thinning medications or supplements

For optimal immune function:

1. Adequate sleep - 7-9 hours nightly; sleep deprivation weakens immunity
2. Balanced diet - Colorful vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats
3. Regular exercise - Moderate activity supports immunity; excessive exercise can suppress it
4. Stress management - Chronic stress weakens immune function
5. Hand hygiene - Basic but effective infection prevention
6. Stay hydrated - Water supports all body systems including immunity
7. Avoid smoking - Smoking damages immune function
8. Limit alcohol - Excessive alcohol impairs immunity
9. Maintain healthy weight - Obesity can impair immune response
10. Social connections - Social support correlates with stronger immunity

Several factors distinguish our Vitamin C Multi:

1. Ultra-high vitamin C - 512mg (640% NRV) per capsule

3. 5 immune vitamins - C, D, E, B6, plus minerals zinc and selenium
4. Flexible high-dose protocol - 1-3 capsules based on needs
5. Vegan-friendly - Complete plant-based formula including vegan D3

Vitamin C supports immune function through multiple mechanisms:

• Barrier integrity: Supports skin and mucous membranes—your first line of defense

This multifaceted support makes vitamin C one of the most important immune nutrients.

Consistent use, combined with healthy lifestyle practices, provides your immune system with the nutritional foundation it needs to function optimally.
