Ester C Powder

WHY CHOOSE ESTER C IN POWDER FORM?

Ester C is a superior form of buffered vitamin C that offers enhanced bioavailability, improved absorption and retention in the tissues for up to 24 hours, a great way to protect your immune health. In addition, Ester C is the most researched form of buffered vitamin C and is NON-acidic, so is gentle on the gut, which is ideal for those with a sensitive stomach who tend to react to regular vitamin C (ascorbic acid). But not everyone can or likes to swallow capsules, so that's where Ester C powder comes in.

Benefits of Ester C Powder

One of the most obvious benefits of Ester- C powder is that it is ideal for those who have trouble swallowing, and/or digesting capsules or tablets. The powder form is also extremely flexible, allowing us to easily adjust the dosages to fit the needs of everyone in the family.

Absorption

Like liquid supplements, powders are more rapidly absorbed by the body than a supplement in tablet or capsule form. In addition, studies have shown that powders are also better/more completely absorbed, so multiply the health benefits of vitamin C supplementation.

Potency & Dosing

Ester C powder typically comes in 250, 500, and 1,000mg potency, and the recommended daily intake for adults is usually 1 to 2 g daily to be dissolved in 250ml of water or another beverage, in divided doses.

Storage

To retain its full beneficial properties, Ester C powder should be stored in an opaque container, in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture.

It’s worth noting that the active ingredients in powder supplements are stable and can remain that way for a relatively long time if stored appropriately, in sharp contrast to liquid supplements, which are prone to losing their potency over the course of several months.

Ester C Powder Excipients

Supplements in powder form make use of a range of excipients for preservation purposes, as well as colouring and flavouring agents, sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, etc. As such, it’s really important to pay attention to the list of non-medicinal ingredients to make sure the ingredients in the formula you select won't be adding to your body's toxin load. Look for natural flavours, and sweeteners whenever possible.

Final Thoughts

Ester C powder, whether in full-size bottles or individual sachets, is an excellent way to boost your antioxidant protection, strengthen immune function, and protect against disease. The powder form can be taken in a little water for a refreshing cool drink to hydrate you and replenish electrolytes, as well as can be blended into a delicious breakfast smoothie to energize your mornings. It can also be added to a post-workout protein shake to support muscle recovery and stimulate post-exercise recovery. With a wide range of delicious flavours to choose from, Ester C powder is truly healthy convenience personified!
