In today’s fast-paced, highly competitive world, more and more people are working, partying and playing hard. To make sure you don’t fall behind or miss out on anything important or worthwhile, you need to ensure that your body is always protected from sickness, with a daily dose of Vitamin C.
Here is where it gets a little confusing.
Most people rely on Ascorbic Acid for their daily dose of Vitamin C because most think that this vitamin only comes in this form. The truth is Vitamin C comes in two different forms, namely Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate. While both have similar benefits, Sodium Ascorbate does not come with the side effects that are associated with Ascorbic Acid.
So what makes Sodium Ascorbate better than Ascorbic Acid? For one, Sodium Ascorbate is alkaline-based, which means that it can be taken anytime—even on an empty stomach—without causing stomach pain or discomfort unlike the acidic Ascorbic Acid which should be taken only with or after meals.
Best of all, Sodium Ascorbate is more soluble than Ascorbic Acid. This means that it dissolves faster in the stomach, allowing the body to absorb and reap the benefits of Vitamin C more quickly and efficiently.
These properties make Sodium Ascorbate the better Vitamin C for those who keep busy, unpredictable schedules, and who suffer from stress-induced hyper-acidity.
As Sodium Ascorbate brands go, Fern-C is the number one brand in the Philippines. The Sodium Ascorbate formula found in each capsule is manufactured by DSM Switzerland, the only European Vitamin C manufacturer that offers premium preparations of all Vitamin C forms.
Fern-C helps boost the immune system, thus improving one’s resistance against viral and bacterial infections, in addition Fern-C also promotes healthy gums, teeth, bones and skin for better overall health.
Fern-C Vitamin C Sodium Ascorbate is available in leading drugstores, supermarkets, convenience stores and Fern kiosks nationwide.
