Solgar Ester-C Plus 500 mg Vitamin C (Ascorbate Complex) - 250 Vegetable Capsules

What Makes Ester-C Different from Standard Vitamin C?

Unlike ordinary ascorbic acid supplements, Ester-C offers a unique patented form of vitamin C that is gentle on the stomach and more effectively retained by the body. Standard vitamin C supplements often uses ascorbic acid, which can be acidic and cause stomach discomfort for some individuals. Ester-C, on the other hand, is a patented form of vitamin C that undergoes a unique manufacturing process to create a calcium ascorbate metabolite complex. This complex is pH-neutral and gentle on the gastrointestinal tract, making it suitable for those with sensitive stomachs. Furthermore, the metabolites in Ester-C have been shown to improve the retention of vitamin C in white blood cells, enhancing its bioavailability and effectiveness.

Key Benefits of Ester-C Vitamin C

Vitamin C plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system, protecting cells from oxidative stress, and promoting healthy collagen formation for skin and cartilage.
