Ester-C Plus is exclusively formulated by Solgar and provides a patented, pH neutral (non acidic) Ester-C Vitamin C that is gentle on the stomach. The Vitamin C metabolites in Ester-C positively impact the retention of Vitamin C in cells, providing additional benefits. A special manufacturing process is employed to form a unique calcium ascorbate metabolite complex. This well-retained complex further incorporates natural bioflavonoids and acerola berry along with rose hips (Rosa Canina) fruit.
Ester-C Plus, Vitamin C, 500 mg, 100 Vegetable Capsules (Solgar) – Ingredients
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) (C6H8O6)
Vitamin C protects the immune system, reduces the severity of allergic reactions and helps to fight off infections. Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Vitamin C supports epithelial barrier function against pathogens and promotes the oxidant scavenging activity of the skin, thereby potentially protecting against environmental oxidative stress. Vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections. Vitamin C improves immune function, and facilitates enteral uptake of nonheme iron, reduction of folic acid intermediates and synthesis of collagen (wound healing), cortisol, catecholamines and carnitine. Vitamin C depletion may occur scurvy, long-term complications such as increase cardiovascular and neoplasic risks or cataract.
