Here’s a detailed overview of Sodium Ascorbate (Supercee) 500mg Capsule 100's:


Product Description:

Supercee is a formulation of Sodium Ascorbate, a salt form of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), available in a 500mg capsule. Sodium Ascorbate is a water-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties, essential for various physiological functions. This product is commonly used to support the immune system, help in wound healing, and as an antioxidant to fight oxidative stress in the body.

  • Sodium Ascorbate is considered less acidic than ascorbic acid and is often recommended for individuals who experience stomach irritation from traditional Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

  • Each 500mg capsule provides an effective dose of Vitamin C, which plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, immune function, and iron absorption.

Supercee 500mg Capsules are typically used to ensure an adequate supply of Vitamin C, particularly when dietary intake is insufficient or when the body’s requirements increase due to certain conditions.


Indications:

Supercee Sodium Ascorbate 500mg Capsules are indicated for the following:

  • Vitamin C deficiency: Used to prevent or treat scurvy, a disease caused by Vitamin C deficiency.

  • Immune system support: To enhance immune function, particularly in colder months or during periods of increased exposure to infections.

  • Antioxidant support: As an antioxidant, it helps protect cells from damage by free radicals.

  • Wound healing: Supports the healing process of wounds and helps in collagen production.

  • General health: To maintain healthy skin, bones, teeth, and blood vessels.

  • Iron absorption: Improves the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, beneficial for individuals with iron-deficiency anemia.


Dosage:

The dosage of Supercee 500mg Capsule will depend on the individual’s age, health condition, and the purpose for which it is being taken. Always follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider or the product label.

Recommended Dosage:

  • Adults: 1 capsule (500mg) once or twice a day, depending on the healthcare provider's recommendation.

  • For Vitamin C deficiency or immune support: Typically, 1 capsule per day is sufficient.

  • For individuals with higher Vitamin C needs (e.g., smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with specific health conditions), higher doses may be prescribed.

Children (6-12 years):

  • 1 capsule (500mg) daily or as directed by a healthcare provider.

Note: It is essential not to exceed the recommended dose to avoid potential side effects, particularly with high doses of Vitamin C.


Side Effects:

Supercee Sodium Ascorbate 500mg Capsules are generally well-tolerated, but some side effects may occur, particularly with high doses.

Common Side Effects:

  • Gastrointestinal upset: Stomach cramps, bloating, or mild nausea. Sodium Ascorbate is less likely to cause stomach irritation compared to ascorbic acid.

  • Diarrhea: High doses of Vitamin C can sometimes cause loose stools or diarrhea.

  • Heartburn: Some individuals may experience acid reflux or heartburn.

Serious Side Effects:

  • Kidney stones: Long-term use of high doses of Vitamin C (over 2,000mg/day) can increase the risk of kidney stones in susceptible individuals, particularly those with a history of kidney problems.

  • Iron overload: In individuals with certain conditions like hemochromatosis (a genetic disorder causing excessive iron absorption), excess Vitamin C may increase iron absorption and lead to iron overload.

Note: If any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash, itching, or swelling) occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.


Contraindications:

Supercee Sodium Ascorbate 500mg Capsules should not be used in the following situations:

  • Hypersensitivity: Known allergy or hypersensitivity to Sodium Ascorbate or any of the other ingredients in the capsule.

  • Kidney disease: Individuals with a history of kidney stones or renal disorders should avoid high doses of Vitamin C, as it can contribute to the formation of kidney stones.

  • Hemochromatosis: Vitamin C can increase the absorption of iron. In individuals with hemochromatosis, this may exacerbate iron overload, leading to damage to organs such as the liver and heart.

  • High iron levels: Individuals with iron overload conditions, such as thalassemia, should avoid Vitamin C supplementation without medical supervision, as it can increase iron absorption.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: While Vitamin C is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, high doses should be avoided unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.


Precautions:

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Vitamin C is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used in appropriate amounts. However, high doses should be avoided unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.

  • Excessive intake: While Vitamin C is water-soluble and excess amounts are typically excreted in urine, excessive doses (over 2,000mg/day) may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, kidney stones, or other complications.

  • Iron overload risk: If you have an iron metabolism disorder (such as hemochromatosis), consult with a healthcare provider before taking Vitamin C, as it may enhance iron absorption.

  • Interactions with medications: Vitamin C can interact with certain medications, including chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners (like warfarin), and statins. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications.


Summary:

Supercee Sodium Ascorbate 500mg Capsules are a valuable supplement for maintaining optimal Vitamin C levels, supporting immune health, promoting wound healing, and acting as an antioxidant. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage to avoid potential side effects, and individuals with certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before use.

If you experience any adverse reactions or have concerns about using this product, please seek advice from a healthcare professional.
