Vitaforce Sugar Free Tablet | Pot

✔️ Used in the prevention and supportive management of:

• Coronary heart disease and vascular disorders
• Certain cancers are related to oxidative stress
• Aging and degenerative cell changes
• Free radical injury caused by smoking, pollution, or radiation
• Physical or oxidative stress from excessive exercise or illness
• Nutritional antioxidant deficiency

✔️ Mechanism of Action

β-Carotene: Functions as a precursor of Vitamin A and neutralizes free radicals by quenching singlet oxygen—a highly reactive form of oxygen. It supports vision, immune function, and cellular differentiation, and may offer protection against some cancers.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): A potent antioxidant that scavenges free radicals, particularly in plasma, lung fluid, and interstitial fluids. It enhances immune cell activity, supports antibody synthesis, and aids in collagen production and wound healing. It also promotes the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline and dopamine to noradrenaline, and improves iron absorption at higher doses (1–2 g daily).

Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Protects cell membranes from lipid peroxidation by neutralizing peroxyl radicals. It works synergistically with Vitamin C and β-carotene, preventing oxidative damage and protecting Vitamin A from degradation. Vitamin E also helps counteract the harmful effects of smog, cigarette smoke, and environmental toxins.

✔️ Dosage & Administration

Adults: 1 tablet daily, or as directed by a registered physician.

✔️ Side Effects

β-Carotene: Generally safe. Excessive intake may lead to hypercarotenosis, causing temporary yellowish skin discoloration (harmless and reversible).

Vitamin C: High doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or kidney stone formation.

Vitamin E: Usually safe, though large doses (>800 mg/day) may cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, fatigue, or mild hypertension.

✔️ Interaction

Reduced absorption: with cholestyramine, colestipol, and neomycin (affects β-carotene absorption).

Decreased Vitamin C levels: with oral contraceptives, tetracycline, or aspirin due to altered absorption or metabolism.

Vitamin E: may enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin or similar drugs.

High doses of Vitamin E can impair the absorption of Vitamins A and K.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

β-Carotene, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E are considered safe with no known teratogenic effects, but should be used under medical supervision during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

✔️ Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients or excipients.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings

• Caution in heavy smokers and alcoholics, as β-carotene supplementation may be harmful in these groups.
• Use Vitamin C carefully in patients with hyperoxaluria or predisposition to kidney stones.
• Patients on anticoagulant therapy should use Vitamin E cautiously, as it may enhance anticoagulant effects.

✔️ Storage:

Store below 30°C, in a dry place away from light and moisture.
Keep out of reach of children.
