Sisu Ester-C Supreme 600mg - 210 V-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.

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 Polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are long sugar molecules that store energy, improve the structural integrity of cells, and strengthen the immune response. One of the most significant polysaccharides is arabinogalactin. Many plants are rich sources of arabinogalactins; echinacea, from which the arabinogalactins in Ester-C Supreme are extracted, is particularly so.

What is Quercetin?
Bioflavonoids are potent antioxidants found in plants. They enhance the immune-supporting functions of Vitamin C and provide a number of protective functions within the body. Quercetin is one of the most potent plant bioflavonoids. Studies suggest that it may inhibit the manufacture and release of histamine and other allergic and inflammatory agents, thus calming allergic reactions.

What are Multi-anthocyanidins?
Anthocyanidins are a group of bioflavonoids that are powerful antioxidants. The anthocyanidins in Ester-C Supreme are derived from multiple fruit sources, including strawberry, bilberry, blueberry, grape, cherry, cranberry, and elderberry. The anthocyanidins in each fruit serve a slightly different role in the body. In this way, it is believed that they work together to boost overall health.
