American Health Ester-C 500 mg with Citrus Bioflavonoids - 240 Capsules (2-Pack)

How Ester-C Supports Your Daily Wellness

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that contributes to several important functions in the body. Ester-C provides 500 mg of this vitamin per capsule in a form that is gentle on the stomach. According to European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved claims, vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal collagen formation for the health of skin, bones, and blood vessels, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This makes Ester-C a convenient way to maintain your daily vitamin C intake, especially during seasonal changes. The addition of citrus bioflavonoids further supports these benefits by enhancing absorption and utilisation.

What Makes Ester-C with Citrus Bioflavonoids Special?

This unique formulation combines Ester-C—a patented, non-acidic form of vitamin C—with citrus bioflavonoids such as hesperidin and rutin. These plant compounds are naturally found in the peel and pulp of citrus fruits and work synergistically with vitamin C. They may help improve its absorption and prolong its activity in the body. Each capsule contains 500 mg of Ester-C, providing a balanced ratio of these ingredients. American Health has designed this supplement to offer a convenient route to support your overall wellness without the acidity often associated with standard vitamin C supplements.

Key Differences: Ester-C vs. Standard Vitamin C

Standard vitamin C supplements typically uses ascorbic acid, which can cause stomach upset in some individuals due to its acidic nature. Ester-C, on the other hand, is based on calcium ascorbate, giving it a neutral pH. This makes it better tolerated, even when taken on an empty stomach. Research also suggests that Ester-C may be absorbed more efficiently because it contains natural metabolites, potentially offering longer-lasting advantages. The citrus bioflavonoids in this formula further complement vitamin C's activity by supporting its absorption and utilisation.

What Is Ester-C and Why Choose It?

Ester-C is a patented form of vitamin C that differs from standard ascorbic acid. It is non-acidic and gentle on the digestive system, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive stomachs. Each capsule delivers 500 mg of Ester-C, which includes calcium ascorbate and its naturally occurring metabolites, designed for efficient absorption. The addition of citrus bioflavonoids enhances the formula. This product comes in a convenient 2-pack, with each bottle containing 240 capsules, providing a generous supply for long-term uses.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

As a food supplement, adults are advised to take one capsule daily with water, preferably with a meal. Each bottle offers 240 servings, and the 2-pack provides a total of 480 capsules—enough for approximately 16 months at the recommended dosage. Do not exceed the stated dose. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any excess is normally excreted, but very high doses may cause digestive discomfort. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition, consult your health care professional before uses. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
