Ceovit Vitamin C 250mg Tablets provide 250 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) per tablet. Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays several important roles in the body, including supporting normal immune function, collagen formation, iron absorption and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Because vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be produced by the human body, it must be obtained through the diet. Good dietary sources include citrus fruits, guavas, berries, tomatoes, peppers and various vegetables. A vitamin C supplement such as Ceovit can provide an additional source of vitamin C when dietary intake may not be sufficient or when supplementation has been recommended.
