What Is Ester-C and How Is It Different?
Ester-C is a patented form of vitamin C that has been specially formulated to be gentle on the stomach while providing effective immune support. Unlike standard ascorbic acid, Ester-C is created through a water-based manufacturing process that neutralises its pH, making it non-acidic and less likely to cause digestive discomfort. This makes it an excellent choice for people who have experienced stomach upset with other vitamin C supplements. Each capsule contains 1000 mg of Ester-C, combined with citrus bioflavonoids to support absorption and utilisation. The formula also includes naturally-occurring metabolites that may help enhance vitamin C retention in white blood cells, an important part of the immune system.
The Role of Citrus Bioflavonoids
Citrus bioflavonoids are plant compounds found in fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. When combined with vitamin C, they may work synergistically to improve absorption and effectiveness. Research suggests that bioflavonoids can help stabilise vitamin C and enhance its antioxidant activity. In this formula, citrus bioflavonoids are added to support the body’s ability to use vitamin C efficiently, making each dose more beneficial. The inclusion of bioflavonoids also contributes to the overall antioxidant profile of the supplement, helping to neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
