Laroscorbine Vitamin C and Zinc effervescent tablets

Laroscorbine is a well-established brand of Vitamin C supplements originally developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche. The brand's name is derived from a combination of the manufacturer's name (La Roche) and the chemical name for Vitamin C (ascorbic acid or 'ascorbine'). For decades, it has been a staple in both the supplement and medical markets, originally launched as a treatment for scurvy and general fatigue.

In 2004, the ownership of the brand shifted significantly when Bayer, a major German multinational, acquired Roche's global consumer health division. This acquisition brought Laroscorbine under the Bayer umbrella, where it is positioned alongside other health brands like Berocca and Supradyn. Today, the product is primarily manufactured in France at Bayer’s specialized facilities in Gaillard. While Roche initially innovated the formula, Bayer now holds the ultimate global ownership and handles the broad distribution of the brand across Europe, Asia, and other international markets.
