Description
Redoxon Triple Action is a three-in-one immune supplement: vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc in an orange tablet that fizzes in a glass of water. It is labelled for adults 19 and older.
What the label says
- Contains vitamins C and D plus zinc to support the immune system, according to the brand.
- The listing says regular use can provide a modest reduction in the duration and severity of colds.
- One tablet is said to equal the vitamin C of 10 oranges.
- Dissolves quickly in water into an orange drink.
- Adults 19+: dissolve 1 tablet daily in water, take with food and a few hours apart from other medications or natural health products.
Who it may suit
Adults who want one daily product covering several immune nutrients, and who prefer a drink to a pill, are the target. If you already take vitamin D or zinc, check your totals.
How it compares
This is the only product on the shelf that combines vitamin C with both vitamin D and zinc. The listing does not give exact milligrams, so read the box image on Amazon.ca. A 45-tablet tube lasts 45 days. Simpler vitamin C-only fizzy options include Emergen-C Super Orange.
Combination products are worth reading carefully: the front of the box highlights the headline ingredients, while the supplement facts panel lists each amount. Comparing that panel with the products you already use is the easiest way to avoid exceeding a daily limit.
Tips for taking vitamin C
Count everything: a multivitamin, a drink mix and this product together can add up quickly, and the upper limit is 2,000 mg a day for adults, the tolerable upper intake level set out by Health Canada and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Taking servings with meals and spacing them out helps if you notice heartburn or loose stools. If you have had kidney stones, or you take prescription drugs, a quick conversation with your pharmacist is worthwhile.
