SteadC Description
SteadC is a rich source of valuable nutrients, including 1000 mg of Amla Extract, 40 mg of Vitamin C, 50 mg of Citrus Bioflavonoid, 10 mg Rose Hip Extract, and 10 mg of Zinc. These work in tandem to boost the body’s immunity, promote skin health and reduce its risk of developing inflammation, a cause of several chronic diseases. SteadC comes in an effervescent form, hence, is easy to consume and ensures the best possible absorption of these nutrients.
Each tablet of SteadC contains the following ingredients:
Vitamin C
SteadC has a good amount of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), a water soluble vitamin, which is not synthesised by the body and should be consumed every day. Vitamin C is vital for the body’s normal physiological functions, including immune defence, collagen synthesis, and the maintenance of cartilage, skin, bones, and teeth. A deficiency of vitamin C has also been linked with many stress-related diseases. Symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency include poor immunity, dry skin and hair, slow wound healing, easy bruising, and Iron deficiency Anaemia.
Vitamin C is particularly vital for boosting immunity. This it does by enhancing the functioning of various immune cells, which makes it effective in preventing and treating respiratory and systematic infections. The ability to readily donate electrons makes Vitamin C a powerful antioxidant, which protects the body’s important biomolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids) from damage by cell metabolism and exposure to toxins and pollutants. This lessens the risk of chronic diseases (heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, and obesity) that can develop from this molecular damage.
Rose Hip Extract
SteadC contains Rose Hip extract, a source of bioactive compounds like catechin, quercetin, lycopene, and ellagic acid, which battle inflammation and oxidative stress. The anti-inflammatory effect is also enhanced by galactolipids.
Amla Extract
Amla boosts immunity, supports healthy digestion, and may help prevent gastrointestinal infections such as diarrhoea. It contains fibre, which strengthens the gut; and flavonoids, which help reduce serum LDL (bad cholesterol). Research has shown Amla to be effective in fighting free radicals and in reducing inflammation caused by various diseases.
Citrus Bioflavonoid
SteadC is a rich source of Citrus Bioflavonoid, a phytonutrient found in citrus fruits. It helps the body fight free radicals that result in oxidative stress and inflammation that may cause diabetes, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases. Citrus Bioflavonoid also help improve glucose tolerance and modulate lipid metabolism.
Zinc
SteadC is rich in Zinc, a micronutrient crucial for the functioning of the immune system, cellular metabolism, and wound healing. Zinc has also shown efficacy in shortening the duration of respiratory tract infections.
Why SteadC?
SteadC is packed with powerful antioxidants that provide several health benefits ranging from strengthening immunity to improving skin health and wound healing. The effervescent form is an added advantage since it ensures the best absorption of these nutrients and makes SteadC extremely easy to consume, including for those who find it difficult to take tablets.
What is an Effervescent tablet?
Effervescent tablets contain active ingredients along with an agent such as sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, which release CO2 and dissolve rapidly upon coming into contact with water.
Advantages of Effervescent form of SteadC:
Bioavailable:
SteadC, being an effervescent formulation, is fully bioavailable, as compared to regular vitamin C tablets which have less bioavailability. Conventional tablets dissolve very slowly in the stomach, which further reduces nutrient absorption.
Gentle on the Stomach:
At times, regular tablets dissolve only partially in the stomach, which can cause irritation or discomfort. On the other hand, SteadC’s effervescent tablets are completely water-soluble, which means that their concentration is evenly distributed.
Keeps you Hydrated:
Along with its nutritional benefits, consumption of SteadC also increases water intake, and keeps one hydrated.
• Pleasant in Taste:
SteadC is tastier than many other Vitamin C tablets because of its delightful orange flavour.
• Great Choice For those who have Difficulty In Swallowing:
Its effervescent form ensures that SteadC completely dissolves in water. Hence, SteadC is beneficial for those who have difficulty in swallowing.
Who can take SteadC?
SteadC, being an excellent source of Vitamin C and Zinc, can be taken by those who want to boost their immunity and reduce their susceptibility to infections and chronic diseases. It’s perfect for athletes, runners, cyclists, swimmers, weight watchers, fitness enthusiasts, and office goers.
Benefits of consuming SteadC
1. BOOSTS IMMUNITY
SteadC is rich in Vitamin C, vital for the functioning and strengthening of the immune system. Vitamin C helps in the production of white blood cells and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection. One serving of SteadC fulfils 50% of the RDA (ICMR/NIN, 2020) for vitamin C.
2. REDUCES INFLAMMATION
Vitamin C, Zinc, Rose Hip and Amla extracts in SteadC all help battle inflammation caused by free radicals, which results in oxidative stress. SteadC is thus a good option for athletes who want to reduce post-workout inflammation.
3. SHORTENS DURATION OF INFECTIONS
SteadC is a good source of Zinc which has shown promising results in shortening the duration of respiratory tract infections, including the common cold.
4. IMPROVES VISION
SteadC boosts vision by providing the eyes with the antioxidant boost they need to fight damage by free radicals.
5. PROMOTES SKIN HEALTH
SteadC boosts skin health by slowing down the aging process. It contains Vitamin C, which helps keep the skin hydrated and reduces blemishes and wrinkles.
6. HELPS IN WOUND HEALING
Vitamin C in SteadC helps in the synthesis of collagen fibres, which play an essential role in connective tissue healing. Zinc in SteadC promotes faster healing of wounds.
7. ENHANCES IRON ABSORPTION:
SteadC is rich in Vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of iron, a mineral vital for the production of the oxygen-transporting protein, haemoglobin. Hence, SteadC may aid in the prevention of anaemia in persons who are iron-deficient.
When should you take SteadC?
Take 1 tablet of SteadC anytime during the day.
