ascorbic acid + glucose

Nuvit is a combination vitamin supplement containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and glucose, developed and marketed by 21st Century Pharmaceuticals. Ascorbic acid is an essential water-soluble vitamin that serves as a potent antioxidant and a critical cofactor for several enzymes, including those involved in collagen synthesis (prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases) and the synthesis of catecholamines. The addition of glucose provides an immediate source of metabolic energy. Nuvit is primarily indicated for the prevention and treatment of Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) and as supportive therapy to provide nutritional and energy replenishment during recovery from illness, surgery, or physical stress.
