American Health Ester-C with Citrus Bioflavonoids – 500 mg, 240 Vegetarian Capsules

Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage. This Ester-C formula is designed to offer sustained immune support, thanks to its natural metabolites that help retain vitamin C in white blood cells, a key component of the body's defenses.

What makes Ester-C special?

Ester-C is not common vitamin C. It is made through a water-based manufacturing process that neutralizes the pH, resulting in a non-acidic and stomach-friendly form. Unlike traditional ascorbic acid, which can cause gastric discomfort in some people, Ester-C is ideal for those with a sensitive stomach. In addition, it contains natural metabolites that can improve the retention of vitamin C in white blood cells, promoting a longer immune action.

Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose is two capsules, providing 1000 mg of vitamin C (Ester-C) along with 100 mg of citrus bioflavonoids. The 240-capsule container provides 120 doses, enough for four months of continuous use. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Types of vitamin C: which one to choose?

There are various forms of vitamin C on the market: ascorbic acid, mineral ascorbates (sodium, calcium, magnesium), liposomal vitamin C, and natural extracts such as acerola or rosehip. Ester-C belongs to the category of buffered ascorbates, but with the advantage of including natural metabolites that can improve cellular absorption. Added citrus bioflavonoids help optimize the body's utilization of vitamin C. This combination makes it a balanced option for those seeking an effective and well-tolerated vitamin C.

How to choose the best vitamin C

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, it is important to consider the form, dosage, and digestive tolerance. For people with sensitive stomachs, non-acidic forms such as Ester-C or sodium ascorbate are more suitable. The presence of bioflavonoids can enhance absorption. Purity should also be considered: this product is non-GMO, free of gluten, yeast, wheat, dairy, soy, egg, and artificial flavors, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.
