American Health Ester-C with Citrus Bioflavonoids – 1000 mg, 45 Tablets

Key Benefits of Ester-C Vitamin C

24-Hour Immune Support: Ester-C is specially formulated to support your immune system around the clock. By enhancing vitamin C retention in white blood cells, it helps maintain immune readiness throughout the day—especially valuable during cold and flu season.

Antioxidant Protection: As a potent antioxidant, this vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and contribute to cellular aging. This supports overall cellular health.

Gentle on the Stomach: Unlike standard ascorbic acid, Ester-C is non-acidic and buffered, making it exceptionally gentle on the digestive system. Many people with sensitive stomachs prefer this form.

Enhanced Absorption: Naturally-occurring metabolites in Ester-C may improve vitamin C retention in the body, allowing for more effective use of the nutrient you consume.

Understanding Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own. It plays a vital role in immune function, acts as a powerful antioxidant, and helps maintain healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums. While often associated with seasonal wellness, its benefits extend far beyond that. This formula delivers 1000 mg of Ester-C per serving plus citrus bioflavonoids for comprehensive daily support.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C comes in various forms. Ascorbic acid is common but can be acidic. Sodium ascorbate is less acidic, while liposomal vitamin C uses fat-based encapsulation for potential absorption benefits. Whole-food sources like acerola provide vitamin C with other natural compounds.

Ester-C is a non-acidic, buffered form with metabolites, preferred by those wanting gentle, sustained support. This product also includes citrus bioflavonoids, plant compounds that may work synergistically with vitamin C for enhanced antioxidant activity.
