Each tablet contains: Ascorbic Acid 500 mg.

Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics: Ascorbic Acid, a water soluble vitamin, is essential for the synthesis of collagen and intracellular material. Ascorbic Acid deficiency develops when dietary intake is inadequate. It is rare in adults, but may occur in infants, alcoholics or elderly. Deficiency leads to the development of a well defined syndrome known as scurvy. Ascorbic Acid has been used to acidify urine and has also been tried in the treatment of idiopathic methemoglobinemia and many other disorders, but there is little evidence of beneficial effect.
Ascorbic Acid is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is widely distributed in the body tissues. It is reported to be about 25% bound to plasma proteins. The amount of Ascorbic Acid in the body is about 1.5 g. The concentration is higher in leukocytes and platelets than in erythrocytes and plasma. In deficiency states, the concentration in leukocytes declines at a slower rate and this has been considered a better criterion for the evaluation of deficiency than the concentration in plasma.
Intake Requirement: A daily intake of about 30 mg to 100 mg Ascorbic Acid has been recommended for adults. There is, however, a wide variation in individual requirements. Humans are unable to reform their own Ascorbic Acid and so a dietary source is necessary. Most dietary Ascorbic Acid is obtained from fruit and vegetable sources. Only small amounts are present in milk and animal tissues. Relatively rich sources include rose hips (rose fruit), black currant, citrus fruits, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, and green pepper.
