Application Notes

Application areas

Mode of action

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient is water-soluble vitamin C. It supports the immune system in the fight against pests and, together with vitamin E, renders aggressive oxygen compounds and so-called free radicals harmless. Less serious illnesses such as a cold or a flu are positively influenced. In addition, it accelerates blood clotting, keeps some toxic heavy metals in check and enables the body to absorb more iron from the intestine. In addition, the active ingredient can act as a buffer and thus contributes to the fact that a drug is more gastrically tolerable.
