Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen synthesis, iron absorption, and immune function. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation.
Generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. High doses of vitamin C may cause gastrointestinal upset or kidney stones in susceptible individuals. Folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms, so monitoring is important. Store away from heat and moisture.
