Redoxon is the name of the first artificially synthesized ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).[1] Redoxon was first marketed to the general public in 1934[2] – the first mass-manufactured synthetic vitamin in history.[3] It is now a brand owned by German pharmaceutical company Bayer and is sold world-wide. The product was developed by a team headed by chemist Tadeusz Reichstein, who discovered a method of synthesizing 30-40 g of vitamin C from 100 g of glucose. This used an intermediate step of creating sorbose using an ingenious bacterial fermentation method discovered by a French researcher, Gabriel Bertrand. In this method, fruit flies were attracted to a mixture of wine, vinegar, yeast bouillon, and sorbitol, a substance easily chemically prepared from glucose. Flies which fed upon sorbitol as a major food subtrate excreted bacteria which were able to synthesize sorbose from sorbitol. Using the bacteria, within a few days, it was possible to create 50 grams of sorbose using this method, and it was then easy to synthesise ascorbic acid from this.
Despite concern about using the wild strain of bacteria for fermentation-production of sorbose, the process was superior to a rival method of Szent-Györgyi which isolated Vitamin C from capsicum. After sale of the Reichstein process patent to Hoffmann-La Roche, this process became the basis of the corporation's large-scale production of vitamin C.[4] The commercial tablets are compounded from ascorbic acid and sodium bicarbonate. When these are added to water, they react to produce sodium ascorbate, water and carbon dioxide, thus producing a pleasant effervescence. In addition to Redoxon vitamin C, Redoxon Vita Immune tablets are also produced. & FREE Shipping on orders over $35. Sold by Sanar Health and Fulfilled by Amazon. & FREE Shipping on eligible orders.

The recommended daily dose (age 12 upwards) is one tablet daily. Each tablet contains 260 mg of sodium.[1] 273 mg of sodium is contained in the tablets sold in Australia and New Zealand. Berocca causes urine to turn deep yellow in colour – this is due to the excess vitamin B2 (also known as Riboflavin, with "flavus" meaning "yellow" in Latin) being passed via urine. Berocca ran a series of television commercials in Australia and New Zealand throughout the 1980s and 1990s, using the slogan "B-B-B-Berocca gives you back your B-B-Bounce". A recent marketing campaign in Australia for Berocca Performance with the slogan "Release the inner geek" targets high school students studying for exams. In South Africa a "Beready Besharp Berocca" campaign was launched. Long-running Outdoor (poster) campaigns in the United Kingdom with the slogan "Stay sharp". In 2008 a television advert was launched featuring people dancing using treadmills similar to OK Go's music video for the 2006 song "Here It Goes Again".
The music is "Living on the Ceiling" by the British synthpop band Blancmange, taken from their 1982 album Happy Families. More recently, as of September 2010, a new advertising campaign featuring lumberjacks dancing on water has been launched, with the slogan "You, but on a really good day." In March 2011 the Health Department of Australia moved to withdraw the advertising of Berocca for its unsubstantiated claims of providing invigoration. The same department had given Berocca a Healthcare product award in November 2010. In June 2014, a 30-second television ad entitled "Mind and Body," featuring Joel McHale and Kali "Muscle" Kirkendall,[4] and backed by the song "Sirius" from the 1982 album "Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project, first appeared on US national television and cable networks.Add a splash of vitamin C to your day.
