Product Name & Strength: VitaCed Immune Effervescent Tablets (Lemon Flavour), 20 Tablets (90g).
Indications (Approved Uses): Dietary supplementation universally indicated to boost the immune system and provide robust antioxidant defence. The high-dose Vitamin C, combined with the essential trace minerals Zinc and Selenium, acts synergistically to support the body's natural cellular defences against oxidative stress, assist in the prevention and management of common viral infections (such as the common cold), and promote overall immune resilience and healthy cellular function.
Contraindications (Safety Warnings): Hypersensitivity to Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Zinc, Selenium, or any of the excipients in the effervescent formulation. Due to the presence of aspartame (which acts as a source of phenylalanine), this product is strictly contraindicated in individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU). Extreme caution is advised in patients with severe renal impairment, a history of calcium oxalate renal calculi (kidney stones), or iron-overload disorders (such as haemochromatosis), as high-dose Vitamin C can exacerbate these conditions. Patients on strict low-sodium diets should be mindful of the sodium content inherent in effervescent tablets.
Side Effects (Adverse Reactions): Generally well-tolerated when consumed at the recommended daily dosage. Potential mild adverse effects are primarily gastrointestinal, including nausea, stomach cramps, heartburn, and mild diarrhoea, which are often associated with high-dose Vitamin C or taking Zinc on an empty stomach. The sodium hydrogen carbonate used for effervescence may cause transient bloating or flatulence in susceptible individuals.
Active / Nutritional Information: The active nutritional profile per effervescent tablet provides Calories 40, Salt 1 g, Vitamin C 1000 mg, Zinc 10 mg, and Selenium 55 mcg, seamlessly formulated with non-active excipients including citric acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate (acidity regulator), inulin, flavouring, aspartame and sodium saccharin (sweeteners), and riboflavin-5'-phosphate (colour).
Instructions for Use / Dosage: For oral administration. Adults are typically advised to dissolve one effervescent tablet daily in a full glass of water and drink immediately once fully dissolved. It is best taken with or shortly after a meal to minimise potential gastrointestinal discomfort. Always consult the physical package labelling for exact manufacturer dosage guidelines or follow the direct advice of a healthcare professional.
