Calcium with vitamin C to develop strong bones and teeth.
The calcium in these tablets is specially formulated to be easily absorbed by the body, giving growing children the calcium they need to develop strong bones and teeth for life. Combined with vitamin C, essential for a good immune system, it provides parents with daily reassurance that their child is meeting his or her nutritional needs. Doctor’s Choice Chewable Vita C-Cal for Children has an appealing cherry flavour and is made with natural fruit sugars that will not rot your child’s teeth.
Vitamin C is essential for the formation and maintenance of collagen, the substance that binds body cells together; for the metabolism of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan; the absorption and movement of iron; the metabolism of fats and lipids; cholesterol control; sound teeth and bones; strong capillary walls and healthy blood vessels; and the metabolism of folic acid. It is also a powerful antioxidant, neutralising free radicals and helping ward of symptoms associated with oxidation, from wrinkles to illnesses including cancer. Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble Vitamin C ester that exerts antioxidant activity characteristic of vitamin C on lipids throughout the body, and is the most widely used fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C in skin care. It has been found to protect cell membranes of human red blood cells and alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E, a known antioxidant) from oxidative damage by neutralising free radicals, resulting in reducing the depth of wrinkles. Unlike vitamin C, it can be stored by the body.
