Potassium Chloride and Vitamin C Tablets

Origins of Potassium Chloride and Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a compound naturally found in many fruits and vegetables - particularly citrus fruits. Potassium Chloride occurs naturally as the mineral Sylvite, and is a soluble metal halide salt. Both nutrients are included on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines.

The history of Vitamin C’s use (often inadvertently) is extensive. Indigenous Canadians used a drink created from tree bark (which includes Vitamin C) medicinally. Albert Szent-Györgyi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his actual discovery of Vitamin C, having isolated the vitamin from its natural sources. 

Health Benefits

Both Chloride and Vitamin C have distinct health benefits. Vitamin C has been found to contribute to the normal energy-yielding metabolism, and support the function of the nervous system. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Chloride plays a role in normal digestion, as it supports production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. 

Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.
