Frequently asked questions
Celin 500 before or after food?
After food. Vitamin C is acidic and can cause stomach discomfort on an empty stomach. Chewable tablets can be chewed after a meal.
Does vitamin C prevent colds or COVID?
No. Regular vitamin C does not stop you catching colds; at best it may shorten a cold slightly. It does not prevent or treat COVID-19. A balanced diet and vaccination matter far more.
How much vitamin C can I take in a day?
Adults need about 40 mg a day from food. Supplements up to 1,000 mg a day are unlikely to cause harm; more than that causes stomach pain, diarrhoea and wind and increases kidney stone risk.
Celin vs Limcee – are they the same?
Both are vitamin C 500 mg tablets from different companies; Limcee is a chewable orange-flavoured tablet. They work the same way. Pick based on taste and price.
