Redoxon
Redoxon
Redoxon (pronounced: /rɛˈdɒksɒn/) is a brand name of a range of vitamin supplements produced by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche. The name "Redoxon" is derived from reduction-oxidation, referring to the chemical reactions that the product is intended to influence in the body.
History
Redoxon was first introduced in 1934 as the first mass-produced synthetic vitamin C supplement. The name is a portmanteau of "reduction" and "oxidation", the two key chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of vitamin C in the body.
Composition
Redoxon products typically contain vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and other essential vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, to support the immune system. Some products also contain additional ingredients like vitamin D and vitamin B6.
Usage
Redoxon is used to supplement the diet and support the immune system, particularly during times of stress or illness. It is also used to prevent and treat vitamin C deficiency.
