Ester-C 600mg + Bioflavonoids - 120 Caps

vitamin C: How it Helps

Most people consume Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, but ascorbic acid passes out of the body quickly, so little of it is absorbed. It can also cause gassiness, bloating, and diarrhea. Ester-C is made from calcium ascorbate formulated through a patented process so that it neutralizes intestinal acids and can therefore be absorbed without discomfort. It also contains a form of calcium, which enhances absorption.

Why Choose the Powder Form?

Ester-C Powder is more suitable for those who wish to avoid excipients or more tightly control dosage.

Vitamin C, Immune Function & Allergy Relief

The immune system is a complex set of actions and reactions designed to recognize invading germs and expel them from the body. Allergies occur when the immune system malfunctions and treats substances that would be harmless in non-allergic individuals as if they were harmful invaders. A poorly functioning immune system can expose the body to frequent illness and may be at the root of allergies and related health issues. Immune function can be weakened by emotional stress, overwork, extreme physical exertion, fatigue, chronic illness, environmental pollutants, a diet low in antioxidants, and many other factors. While immune health depends on many different nutrients, Vitamin C is the single most important. Studies have shown that 5 grams (5000 mg) of Vitamin C can double the rate of key activities of white blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system. Polysaccharides and bioflavonoids can work with Vitamin C to enhance immune health.

What are Citrus Bioflavonoids?

Bioflavonoids exist in all plants. They occur in high concentrations in citrus plants, alongside Vitamin C. Vitamin C cannot be absorbed in the absence of bioflavonoids, and bioflavonoids have many of the same properties as vitamin C. In Ester-C, the two work together synergistically.
