Product Overview

Cal-C-Vita Cold & Flu Seasonal Defence (30 Effervescent Tablets) is a high-strength immune support supplement designed to protect the body against seasonal illnesses. By combining a potent dose of Vitamin C with essential minerals and B-vitamins, it acts as a "Seasonal Defence" to help the body resist viruses and bacteria more effectively. In South Africa, it is classified as a Schedule 0 (S0) complementary medicine and is often used as adjuvant therapy during the onset of the common cold, flu, or allergies.

What the Product Is Used For

  • Seasonal Immunity: Strengthens the body's natural defenses specifically during peak "flu season" or seasonal transitions.
  • Adjuvant Flu Therapy: Used alongside standard treatments to help reduce the severity and duration of respiratory tract infections.
  • Antioxidant Support: Protects cells from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors and physical strain.
  • Allergy Relief: Assists in supporting the immune system’s response to common environmental allergens.

Key Benefits

  • Comprehensive Formula: Unlike basic Vitamin C supplements, this version includes Calcium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B6 to support energy metabolism and bone health alongside immunity.
  • Fast-Acting Effervescence: The tablet dissolves quickly in water, providing a liquid solution that is absorbed more rapidly than conventional pills.
  • High Dose Vitamin C: Delivers 1000mg of Vitamin C per tablet, which is critical for supporting white blood cell function.
  • Orange Flavor: Provides a palatable and refreshing way to stay hydrated while taking daily vitamins.

Active Ingredients

Each effervescent tablet typically contains:

  • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): 1000 mg
  • Calcium: 250 mg
  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): 15 mg
  • Vitamin D: 300 IU (7.5 µg)
  • Sweeteners: Sucralose and Acesulfame K (Suitable for diabetics).

Quantity / Size

  • Pack size: 30 Effervescent Tablets (usually 3 tubes of 10 or 2 tubes of 15).
  • Barcode: 6009697611975.
  • NAPPI Code: 711551001.
  • Availability: Available at Dis-Chem, Clicks, Makro, and Woolworths (often branded as Cal-C-Vita Plus).

Directions for Use

  • Adults and Children (over 12 years): One tablet daily dissolved in a glass of water.
  • Children (9 to 13 years): One tablet daily.
  • Children (4 to 8 years): Half a tablet daily (or as recommended by a healthcare professional).
  • Administration: Drink immediately once the tablet has completely dissolved. Best taken with a meal in the morning.

Warnings / Safety Information

  • Kidney Stones: Individuals prone to calcium-oxalate kidney stones should consult a doctor before using high-dose Vitamin C.
  • Sodium Intake: Effervescent tablets contain sodium; users on a salt-restricted diet for hypertension should monitor their total daily intake.
  • Phenylketonuria (PKU): Check packaging for Aspartame if you have PKU, though many newer "Seasonal Defence" variants use alternative sweeteners.
  • Chronic Medication: If you are taking medication for blood pressure or heart conditions, consult a pharmacist before use.

Storage Instructions
