Energia Vitamin C 1000mg is a pharmaceutical-grade, oral dietary supplement formulated as effervescent tablets. Designed for daily administration, each tablet delivers a high-potency dose of L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) to support systemic physiological functions, reinforce innate and adaptive immune responses, reduce physical fatigue, and provide cellular defense against oxidative stress.
Effervescent delivery offers rapid dissolution and uniform distribution in aqueous solution, facilitating efficient gastrointestinal absorption compared to conventional solid oral dosage forms.
Key Medical Benefits & Physiological Actions
1. Immunological Support
L-ascorbic acid accumulates in phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils, enhancing chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and the generation of reactive oxygen species involved in microbial destruction. It supports lymphocyte proliferation and maintains functional epithelial barriers against external pathogens.
2. Reduction of Fatigue and Metabolic Support
Vitamin C serves as an essential cofactor in the biosynthesis of L-carnitine—a molecule critical for transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for ATP energy production—and catecholamines such as norepinephrine. Adequate intake helps mitigate physiological fatigue associated with nutrient depletion.
3. Antioxidant Defense & Cellular Protection
As a potent electron donor, Vitamin C neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals, preventing lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage to cellular DNA and proteins. It also regenerates oxidized alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) back to its active antioxidant state.
4. Collagen Synthesis & Tissue Integrity
Vitamin C acts as an obligate co-substrate for the enzymes prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase, which stabilize the triple-helix structure of collagen. This process is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of skin, blood vessels, cartilage, bones, and gums.
5. Enhancement of Non-Heme Iron Absorption
Ascorbic acid reduces dietary non-heme iron ($Fe^{3+}$) to the more soluble ferrous state ($Fe^{2+}$) in the gastrointestinal lumen, forming a stable chelate that significantly increases intestinal iron uptake.

Active Ingredients & Pharmacological Mechanism
Composition
Mechanism of Action
Upon ingestion, dissolved ascorbic acid is rapidly absorbed across the intestinal mucosa via sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters (SVCT1 and SVCT2). The effervescent mechanism—utilizing a reaction between citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in water—buffers the solution, reducing localized gastric irritation often associated with acidic single-dose vitamin supplements.
Administration, Dosage & Safety Information
Dosage Instructions
-
Adults and Children over 12 Years: Dissolve one (1) effervescent tablet in approximately 200 mL of cold or room-temperature water once daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
-
Consume immediately after complete dissolution. Do not chew or swallow the tablet whole.
Precautions & Contraindications
-
Renal Impairment & Nephrolithiasis: Individuals with a history of hyperoxaluria or calcium oxalate kidney stones should consult a physician before using high-dose Vitamin C supplements, as ascorbic acid metabolizes into oxalate.
-
Hemochromatosis & Iron Overload: Patients with iron storage disorders (e.g., hemochromatosis, thalassemia) should exercise caution due to Vitamin C’s enhancement of gastrointestinal iron absorption.
-
G6PD Deficiency: High parenteral or oral doses of ascorbic acid may induce hemolysis in individuals with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency.
-
Pregnancy & Lactation: Consult a qualified healthcare provider prior to use to ensure intake aligns with recommended daily upper limits.
Storage Conditions
-
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
-
Keep the container tightly closed to protect effervescent tablets from ambient humidity.
-
Keep out of reach of children.
