Askorbinka+ Kvadrat

What This Product Is

Ascorbic acid by Kvadrat-S in a classic twisted paper pack of 10 tablets is a simple and familiar form of vitamin C, well known to several generations across the post-Soviet space. Each small tablet contains a measured dose of L-ascorbic acid with a slightly sweet, sour taste — the same little "candies" many people remember from school years.

How Vitamin C Works in the Body

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that the human body cannot produce on its own and does not store in large amounts, which is why a steady intake from food or supplements matters. Ascorbic acid is involved in several important processes:

• Collagen synthesis — the protein that gives structure to skin, blood vessels, gums and connective tissue.
• Antioxidant activity — helps neutralise free radicals formed during normal metabolism and under stress.
• Iron absorption — improves the uptake of non-heme iron from plant foods such as buckwheat, lentils and greens.

Why People Choose This Format

The twisted pack is compact, light and easy to carry in a pocket, bag or glove compartment. It is a budget-friendly way to add a small amount of vitamin C when the menu is short on fresh fruit and vegetables — during the cold season, after intense physical activity or while travelling. The tablets dissolve in the mouth, so no water is needed.

Who may find it useful:

• adults and teenagers whose diet lacks citrus fruits, berries, peppers or cabbage;
• smokers, since tobacco use is known to increase the body's vitamin C requirement;
• active people and those spending long hours outdoors in cold weather;
• anyone who simply enjoys the familiar sweet-sour taste as a light snack.

How to Take and Important Notes

Ascorbic acid pairs well with bioflavonoids, zinc and iron-rich meals. It is best taken after food to be gentler on the stomach lining, especially for people sensitive to acidic products.

Please note: this is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it does not replace a varied diet. People with gastritis, peptic ulcer, kidney stones, diabetes or a tendency to thrombosis should consult a doctor before regular use. Keep out of reach of children and follow the dosage indicated on the pack.
