PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vitamin C solution for oral administration which is chemically stable, and is excellent in absorbability from gut, and an effective blood concentration duration.SOLUTION: The oil vitamin C composition for oral administration comprises dissolving/suspension of a vitamin C palmitic acid ester in a liquid mixture which mainly consists of a middle chain fatty acid triglyceride, and in which yellow beeswax and soybean lecithin are added. Desirably, the liquid mixture includes 5-20 pts.wt. of the yellow beeswax, and 30-60 pts.wt. of the soybean lecithin based on 100 pts.wt. of the middle chain fatty acid triglyceride. The vitamin C palmitic acid ester is added in the liquid mixture so that 20-40 wt.% of the total composition may be occupied. Since taking is made easy, the formulation can contain a sweetener and a perfume of an optimum dose.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】化学的に安定で、消化管からの吸収性および有効血中濃度持続時間がすぐれた経口投与用ビタミンC液剤を提供する。【解決手段】中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセライドを主体とし、これにミツロウおよび大豆レシチンを加えた液状混合物中に、ビタミンCパルミチン酸エステルを溶解/懸濁してなる油性ビタミンC経口投与用組成物。好ましくは、前記液状混合物は中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセライド100重量部に対し、ミツロウ5~20重量部、および大豆レシチン30~60重量部を含んでいる。ビタミンCパルミチン酸エステルは組成物全体の20~40重量%を占めるように前記液状混合物中に添加される。服用を容易にするため製剤は適量の甘味剤および香料を含むことができる。【選択図】なし
