STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE DURING FASTING WITH VITAMIN C PLUS

Jakarta, April 18th, 2022. PT Kalbe Farma Tbk (Kalbe) continued to make an effort in educating the society about health. This time, Kalbe explained about the benefit of vitamin C plus in strengthening the immune system during the Ramadan fasting. “Vitamin C can be dissolved in the water, which will later be absorbed into our body and its excess will be disposed. But there is a new type of vitamin C that contains ascorbic acid, bioflavonoids, and fatty acid,” according to the Medical Senior Manager of Kalbe Consumer Health, dr. Helmin Agustina Silalahi, during a live Instagram of @kalbefarma.tbk. H2 Pureway C+ is a vitamin C product which also contains ascorbic acid, bioflavonoids, and fatty acid, along with other ingredients that bring health benefits to the body. “H2 Pureway C+ is a combination of Pureway C, vitamin D3, zinc, vitamin E, and selenium, the latter functions as an antioxidant that counters free radicals and decreases the risks of infection. In other words, the whole compositions work together to maintain the body endurance in the optimal way,” according to the Brand Manager of H2 Health and Happiness, Henrietta Chrissel. “Selenium is generally known as an antioxidant, especially when we experience a frightening condition that could cause various disease. With both selenium and vitamin D, we can do activities in a more confident way during the pandemic, especially during fasting,” as Doctor Helmin stated. H2 Pureway C+ can be consumed during fasting, usually after sahur, to strengthen the body endurance and getting through the day without eating. This vitamin C product is safe to be consumed by those with stomach disorders, as well as for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) patients. “Pureway C has one benfit for being less acidic, therefore it can be consumed by Kalbe Friends with GERD or other stomach-related disorders without feeling nauseous. That is because people with GERD disease will usually feel nauseous when consuming vitamin C, which will distrupt their daily activities in the process,” as Chrissel concluded.
