Natural Factors Natural Fruit Chew C (NUTRNF0399 )This kid-friendly vitamin C is gentle on teeth and is so tasty they think they’re getting a treat. Naturally flavoured and sweetened, 100% Natural Fruit Chew C is an excellent source of vitamin C for the young and young at heart. Vitamin C is a necessary component to maintaining all collagen structures, thereby promoting wound repair, strong bones and teeth, and healthy gums. As a powerful antioxidant it protects the aqueous areas of the body (including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid) from free radicals. Vitamin C protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation and also helps to regenerate vitamin E. As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body does not store vitamin C, so regular supplementation is vital. The body's need for vitamin C increases during times of stress because vitamin C participates in the production of vital chemicals such as norepinephrine, needed for the "fight or flight" response. Vitamin C also acts as a detoxifier, helping to cleanse the body of toxins, such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide, etc. This healthful product also includes bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are vitamin-like molecules that are found in the peel of citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables and enhance the activity of vitamin C and may improve the body's ability to hold and absorb vitamin C by 35%.

Precautions and Contraindications:
- Vitamin C may increase the absorption of aluminum from aluminum-containing antacids such as ALternaGEL, Amphojel, Basaljel, Nephrox, Maalox, and Mylanta.
- Take vitamin C at least 2 hours before or after taking one of these products.
- Certain medicines, such as antibiotics, blood thinners and aspirin may interact with vitamin C, so consult with your health care practitioner if you are on any medications. Some interactions may increase the need for vitamin C, other interactions may be negative.
- As this product may contain citrus bioflavonoids, there is one caution: bioflavonoids are non-toxic so drug interactions are virtually unknown; however, citrus bioflavonoids contain grapefruit flavonoids that may interact with certain medications. The reason that grapefruit is problematic with certain drugs is that it contains high levels of a flavonoid (plant pigment) called naringin. This substance reduces the activity of a group of P450 enzymes known as CYP3A enzymes.
- Your body uses these enzymes to break down certain drugs, such as calcium channel blockers (used in the treatment of high blood pressure), sedatives (for example, midazolam), cyclosporin (an immune suppressant given to people who have received organ transplants) and statins (lipid-lowering drugs). If the drugs are not metabolized, they remain in the body in higher concentrations, increasing the risk of unwanted toxic effects. If taking these drugs, be aware of this effect and talk to your health care practitioner.
Important Information:
- Children: Suitable for children at one-half the adult dose. Always rinse mouth or brush teeth after taking a chewable vitamin C product.
