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

Key Benefits of Ester-C

Ester-C is a unique form of vitamin C that is buffered to a neutral pH during manufacture, making it non-acidic and gentle on the stomach – ideal for those with digestive sensitivities. It contains naturally occurring metabolites that may enhance the retention of vitamin C in white blood cells, which are vital for immune function. The added citrus bioflavonoids may further support the body's absorption and utilisation of vitamin C, maximising the benefits from each serving. As a potent antioxidant, Ester-C helps combat oxidative stress – vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

What Makes American Health Ester-C Unique?

What sets American Health Ester-C apart from standard ascorbic acid supplements? Its gentle, non-acidic formulation makes it easier on the stomach, while the inclusion of citrus bioflavonoids provides a synergistic effect for better absorption. The sustained immune support means one daily serving (two capsules) delivers consistent benefits, so you don't need to take multiple doses throughout the day. This product is also Non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences. It contains no yeast, wheat, milk, lactose, soy, egg, grapefruit, sugar, artificial flavours, or sodium.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own. It plays a vital role in supporting immune function – vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. It also acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralise free radicals, and contributes to normal collagen formation for the maintenance of healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, gums and skin. While many people turn to vitamin C for seasonal immune support, its benefits extend far beyond that – it also supports the body's natural repair processes. American Health Ester-C provides a unique form of vitamin C that is designed to offer sustained immune support, making it a convenient daily supplement.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms: ascorbic acid (the most common), sodium ascorbate (buffered), liposomal vitamin C, and Ester-C. Ester-C is a patented form that offers enhanced absorption and retention thanks to its unique metabolite profile. Compared to standard ascorbic acid, Ester-C is less acidic and may stay in your system longer, providing more consistent immune support. American Health Ester-C is available in convenient vegetarian capsules, each containing 500 mg of vitamin C, with a recommended serving of two capsules per day for a total of 1000 mg.
