WHAT MAKES A SUPERHERO? Is it someone who is super strong, healthy and with enviable muscles? Far from it. It’s the everyday champion who braves daily traffic for an even busier working day ahead. It’s the hardworking mum and dad who pursue better lives for their kids. It’s those who actively pursue goals on the go. A “superhero” lives in all of us and mega living as such deserves the power of “C” for healthier lives! The question is, how many oranges do you eat or squeeze to drink to ensure a healthy dose of vitamin C each day?

Refreshingly delicious, it’s hard to refuse a glass of orange juice to kickstart a busy “relentless” day. Seriously, how many “superheroes” like us even have the time to squeeze oranges as we dash out the door each day or even think about the nutrients it provides to keep us on the go?

Since our body does not produce vitamin C, it must be obtained from “outside-the-body” sources. Besides oranges, vitamin C is widely available in nature and found in other “ fruitylicious ” fresh fruits such as guava, mango, papaya, citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes and tomato juices including leafy vegetables and animal sources (meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products). However, it is also the least stable of all vitamins and easily destroyed during processing and storage1!

Did you know that body stores of vitamin C can be affected by dietary intake, metabolic losses, renal “urine” excretion and faecal losses? Interestingly as vitamin C is one of the nutrients sensitive to stress, it is also the first nutrient to be depleted in alcoholics, smokers and obese individuals and, it makes it a marker for overall health!

With our love for delicious foods and “sometimes” not so healthy offerings amid busy and sedentary habits (in some!), how do we ‘power-up’ to meet hectic lifestyle demands?

BiO-LiFE® Marketing Sdn. Bhd., a part of MEGA LIFESCIENCES (one of the leading pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company headquartered in Bangkok) and a proponent of “Prevention is The Best Medicine”, unveiled the new MEGA-C Plus Bioflavonoid, a vitamin C in sachet form in Malaysia that meets the needs of busy individuals who are always on the go!

Available in orange flavour powder form in convenient once-a day sachet, the MEGA-C Plus Bioflavonoid is a high strength vitamin C in calcium ascorbate enriched with bioflavonoids. As vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, the bioflavonoids help to increase the absorption and utilisation of vitamin C in the body3. For those with gastric issues, the buffered MEGA-C Plus Bioflavonoid in ascorbate form of neutral pH, does not irritate stomachs!

Packed for convenience to meet modern lifestyles needs and vitamin C deficient individuals, the single sachet packing of MEGA-C Plus Bioflavonoid helps preserve its 1000 mg vitamin C content for added benefits.
