SAGAS RC 11 Gentle Vitamin C 500 mg, 60 tablets is a food supplement containing non-acidic vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids and a time-release formulation. One tablet provides 500 mg of vitamin C as calcium L-ascorbate and 50 mg of citrus bioflavonoid complex.

Calcium ascorbate is a mineral salt of vitamin C that is less acidic than conventional ascorbic acid. It may therefore be a suitable option for adults who experience acidity or stomach discomfort when taking standard vitamin C products.

What does Gentle Vitamin C mean?

Conventional supplements generally provide vitamin C as ascorbic acid. This acidic form may cause acidity, heartburn or stomach discomfort in some people.

SAGAS RC 11 contains calcium L-ascorbate, a mineral and non-acidic form of vitamin C. It is designed for adults seeking a gentler alternative for a sensitive digestive system.

The word “gentle” does not mean that the product is suitable for everyone without restrictions. People taking medication or living with a medical condition should consult a healthcare professional before use.

How does the time-release formulation work?

The tablet is designed to release vitamin C gradually rather than all at once. It should therefore be swallowed whole without breaking, crushing or chewing.

Time release does not mean that more than the recommended serving may be taken. One tablet daily is sufficient.

What does vitamin C contribute to?

normal immune-system function,
protection of cells from oxidative stress,
reduced tiredness and fatigue,
normal energy-yielding metabolism,
normal nervous-system function,
normal psychological function,
regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E,
increased iron absorption.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of:

blood vessels,
bones and cartilage,
skin,
gums and teeth.

Vitamin C during physical activity

Vitamin C contributes to maintaining normal immune-system function during and after intense physical exercise. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg in addition to the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

Citrus bioflavonoids

The formula provides 50 mg of a 35% citrus bioflavonoid complex, supplying 17.5 mg of bioflavonoids. The complex is obtained from bitter orange (Citrus aurantium).

Bioflavonoids are natural plant compounds found in citrus fruit and are frequently combined with vitamin C in food supplements.

Composition per daily serving

Active ingredient	Amount per tablet	% reference intake
Vitamin C	500 mg	625%
Citrus bioflavonoid complex 35%	50 mg	–
Providing bioflavonoids	17.5 mg	–

Directions for use

Adults: take one tablet daily with a meal and sufficient water.

Swallow the tablet whole. Do not break, crush or chew it, as this may alter the intended gradual release of vitamin C.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

When should SAGAS RC 11 be taken?

The tablet may be taken with breakfast or lunch. People with a sensitive stomach should preferably take it during or immediately after a meal.

Vitamin C increases iron absorption. When using an iron supplement, agree on the most appropriate combination with a doctor or pharmacist, particularly if you have elevated iron stores.

Pharmacist’s advice

SAGAS RC 11 may be a suitable choice for adults who experience acidity or stomach discomfort with conventional ascorbic acid. However, take the tablet with food because even a non-acidic form cannot guarantee that every user will avoid digestive discomfort.

Swallow the time-release tablet whole. Breaking or crushing it may alter how vitamin C is released.

Check multivitamins, immune-support products and zinc supplements, as many already contain vitamin C. Using several similar products simultaneously is often unnecessary.

Vitamin C does not prevent or treat colds, influenza or bacterial infections. Seek medical advice for a high temperature, difficulty breathing, pronounced weakness, dehydration or worsening symptoms.
