Annique Forever Healthy Vitamin C – 500mg – 30 Tablets

Your daily essential — immune protection, collagen support and whole-body wellness in one tablet.

Vitamin C is one of the most essential nutrients the human body needs — and one of the most consistently under-supplied. Unlike most mammals, the human body cannot produce its own Vitamin C. It is water-soluble, meaning any excess is flushed out of the body daily rather than stored — making consistent daily supplementation not just beneficial but genuinely necessary for maintaining optimal health.

Modern diets — even relatively healthy ones — rarely provide sufficient Vitamin C. And certain medications including aspirin, oral contraceptives and corticosteroids further interfere with absorption — creating deficiencies even in people who believe they are getting enough through food alone.

Annique Forever Healthy Vitamin C uses Calcium Ascorbate — a buffered form of Vitamin C that is significantly gentler on the stomach than standard ascorbic acid — making it suitable for those with sensitive digestive systems, the elderly, children and anyone who has previously experienced stomach discomfort with standard Vitamin C supplements. This is a complete, gentle and highly effective daily Vitamin C supplement for the whole family.

Why Daily Supplementation Is Essential

• The body cannot produce it — unlike most animals, humans lack the enzyme needed to synthesise Vitamin C. Every milligram must come from diet or supplementation.
• It is water-soluble — Vitamin C is not stored in the body. Any excess is excreted daily through urine — meaning the supply needs to be replenished consistently every single day.
• Diet alone is rarely enough — most people’s daily fruit and vegetable intake provides far less Vitamin C than is needed for optimal immune and cellular function.
• Medications reduce absorption — aspirin, oral contraceptives and corticosteroids are among the most commonly used medications that interfere with Vitamin C absorption and utilisation.

Who Is at Risk of Vitamin C Deficiency

Smokers and those with poor diets
Smoking significantly depletes the body’s Vitamin C levels — smokers require substantially higher daily intake than non-smokers to maintain adequate levels.

Those with digestive conditions
Conditions like Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease and those undergoing dialysis impair the body’s ability to absorb Vitamin C effectively — making supplementation particularly important.

The elderly
Age-related changes reduce both Vitamin C intake and absorption efficiency — making daily supplementation increasingly important as we age.

Regular alcohol drinkers
Excessive alcohol consumption interferes with Vitamin C absorption and utilisation — depleting levels even in those with otherwise adequate dietary intake.

Those with chronic diseases
Conditions including diabetes and certain cancers increase the body’s Vitamin C requirements or elevate the risk of deficiency.
