Solgar Ester-C Plus 1000 mg Vitamina C (Complejo de Ascorbato) - 180 Comprimidos (Pack de 2)

What makes Ester-C Vitamin C special?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient your body needs daily, but not all formulas are created equal. Solgar Ester-C Plus 1000 mg combines the power of 1000 mg of vitamin C per tablet with a patented, gentle form: the Ester-C® calcium ascorbate complex. This buffered presentation has a neutral pH, making it especially suitable for those seeking effective vitamin C without the characteristic acidity of conventional ascorbic acid. In addition, it includes natural metabolites from the manufacturing process itself that promote cellular retention of the vitamin.

Benefits of vitamin C supported by EFSA

Vitamin C contributes to numerous vital functions, according to health claims authorized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

• Immune system: helps the normal functioning of the body's defenses.
• Antioxidant protection: helps protect cells against oxidative damage.
• Collagen formation: necessary for the normal structure of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.
• Iron absorption: increases iron uptake in the body.
• Energy metabolism: participates in normal metabolism to obtain energy.
• Nervous system and psychological function: contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to reducing tiredness and fatigue.

These properties make vitamin C a versatile supplement for daily well-being.

Recommended dosage and use

The recommended daily dose is one tablet, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. Each tablet provides 1000 mg of vitamin C, a much higher amount than the recommended daily intake (80 mg in adults), ideal for those seeking an extra supply. Each bottle contains 180 tablets, so the 2-pack provides 360 tablets, equivalent to 360 daily doses.

Ester-C®: a gentle and bioavailable form of vitamin C

Ester-C® is a patented form of vitamin C that combines calcium ascorbate with natural metabolites (threonates, xylonates, and lyxonates). Unlike pure ascorbic acid, its neutral pH makes it much gentler on the stomach, reducing the possibility of gastric discomfort. Studies indicate that Ester-C® is efficiently absorbed and remains longer in white blood cells, which could translate into better cellular availability. However, no absolute claims of superiority are made without adequate evidence.

Frequently asked questions about vitamin C

How much vitamin C do I need per day?

The recommended daily intake (RDI) for adults in the EU is 80 mg. However, many people opt for higher doses, such as the 1000 mg in this product, to meet specific needs or as a general support measure. It is always advisable to consult a health professional before taking high doses.

Does vitamin C help the immune system?

Yes, EFSA has recognized that vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. This means that an adequate intake of this vitamin helps maintain defenses in optimal conditions, without implying that it prevents or cures diseases.

Is it suitable for people with sensitive stomachs?

Thanks to its non-acidic Ester-C® form, this product is an excellent option for those who experience discomfort with conventional vitamin C. Its neutral pH minimizes gastric irritation.

Can I take it with other supplements?

Yes, vitamin C combines well with other nutrients such as zinc, magnesium, or B vitamins. In addition, it favors the absorption of non-heme iron, so it is useful if you take iron supplements or consume foods rich in this mineral.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
