GVit-C is a dietary supplement that contains Vitamin C, an essential water-soluble vitamin known for its role in supporting the immune system and overall health. It is commonly used to prevent or treat Vitamin C deficiency and to promote general well-being. The supplement is available in tablets, capsules, or syrup form depending on the brand variant.

Mechanism of Action:

• It acts as a potent antioxidant, helping to neutralise harmful free radicals and protect cells from damage

• It supports the production of collagen, a protein vital for skin, blood vessels, bones, and connective tissue

• It enhances iron absorption from the gut, especially non-heme iron found in plant-based foods

• It helps maintain proper immune function, wound healing, and contributes to the body’s defence against infections
