• This is a buffered formulation and is gentle on the stomach, but anyone with a sensitive digestive tract, ulcerative colitis or gastric ulcers may prefer to take it with food, or to lower the dose if bowel discomfort occurs.
• High doses of vitamin C may cause bowel discomfort, distension, diarrhoea and flatulence. Reduce the dose if these occur, and contact a health professional if symptoms persist.
• Individual requirements for vitamin C vary with the severity of illness and levels of stress, and a higher dose may be needed at those times.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: regarded as safe and well tolerated. Enhanced dosing should only be done under the supervision of a health professional.
