Has anyone of you tried Redoxon Vitamin C effervescent tablets before? It’s one of the earlier brands of vitamin C that are still relevant today.
What are Redoxon vitamin C tablets?
In case you have not tried it or have not heard of it before, Redoxon sells vitamin C tablets in tubes containing 10 vitamin C tablets each. Each box may have 2 tubes or more. They also sell other types of vitamins and supplements.
- It comes in effervescent orange and also lemon flavoured tablets. The orange tablets are my personal favourite as they taste quite decent, more similar to an orange juice.
Redoxon vitamin C tablets contain 1000 milligrams of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), phenylketonurics (which in turn contains phenylalanine).
How do I consume Redoxon vitamin C tablets?
For adults and adolescents, you only need to take 1 tablet daily, or as advised by a doctor or a pharmacist. Get a glass of cold water with at least 1/2 filled. I normally use about 3/4 of a glass. Dissolve the effervescent tablet in the glass of water simply by dropping the tablet into the glass. Wait for a few minutes for the tablet to be completely dissolved (not necessary to stir) and then proceed to drink.

Personal Experience With Redoxon Vitamin C Tablets
I normally take vitamin C tablets when I fail to consume enough vegetables or fruits. Sometimes you can be really busy at work and neglect taking vitamin C in the form of fruits and vegetables. If you’re not having enough natural vitamin C, these tablets will come in handy for you.
Personally, I consume these vitamin C tablets when I have a sore throat (or going to), when I have flu (common cold) or even when I feel like I’m going to fall sick due to fever or flu. Most of the time, these tablets really helped me and I recovered much faster than usual. More often than not, I managed to prevent myself from falling sick by drinking the dissolved vitamin C tablet.
Consuming tablets is not enough for some cases. If you have a sore throat, gargle with salt water as well. It complements each other and as a result, you will heal even faster.
Conclusion
Redoxon Vitamin C tablets have proven to be useful for me for years and I’m still continuing to take them when it’s suitable. It’s not a miracle tablet, but it really fastens the healing process and boosts your immunity system. If you’re interested in buying these tablets, you can get it from Amazon or from your local pharmacy.
