Ester-C 1000 mg

What Does Vitamin C in Buffered Form Mean?

Buffered vitamin C is the 'turbo' among vitamin Cs: the body absorbs this vitamin twice as fast and it stays in the tissue for up to four times longer than non-buffered vitamin C. This form is less acidic than regular ascorbic acid. Thanks to buffered vitamin C, Golden Naturals Ester-C® 1000 mg is suitable for people with a sensitive stomach or intestines.

The buffered form can be better tolerated by the body and can be absorbed more efficiently. Additionally, it has a longer half-life in the body, which means it remains active for a longer period. In short, Golden Naturals Ester-C® 1000 mg is an optimally absorbable buffered vitamin C.

What Is the Difference Between Vitamin C and Ester-C®?

Ester-C® is an exclusive form of vitamin C due to its patent protection. In this product, calcium ascorbate is bonded to threonine, which adds value because threonine is a vitamin C metabolite. Normally, our body loses some vitamin C during the natural conversion into metabolites, but the bonding in Ester-C® allows for direct absorption without loss. Overall, the body doesn't have to work as hard to absorb this Ester-C®.

What Is Ester-C® 1000 mg Good For?

You might wonder why you should take extra vitamin C. After the summer period, you are often more vulnerable. The temperature drops, there are external invaders, and most people take a supplement for support. The most well-known property of vitamin C is its support for the immune system. It aids the body's defense and contributes to good resistance. It helps maintain a good and strong resistance in a cold environment, such as the autumn and winter seasons.

By taking Ester-C® 1000 mg, you ensure that you have more resistance during physical exertion.

But vitamin C has many more benefits. Vitamin C is important for blood vessels and cartilage and plays a role in bone formation. Additionally, vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin.

What Is the Best Vitamin C, Ester-C®?

Golden Naturals Ester-C® 1000 mg is a must-have when you're looking for a vitamin C supplement. This product, containing buffered vitamin C in a high dosage, is acid-free, stomach-friendly, and thus highly regarded.

Ester-C® is a specially patented form of vitamin C used in supplements and is not directly obtained from food. Natural sources of vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, berries, kiwis, peppers, and green vegetables, contain the standard form of vitamin C, ascorbic acid. Ester-C® is designed to be more easily absorbed and gentler on the stomach and intestines, but the vitamin C you get from food is still effective and a great start for your healthy lifestyle.

What Are Citrus Bioflavonoids?

Citrus bioflavonoid extract, also known as vitamin P, is a natural extract mainly obtained from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. This extract is standardized to 60% hesperidin. These bioflavonoids are known for their antioxidant properties. They help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and support overall health. Citrus bioflavonoids work synergistically with vitamin C, meaning they can enhance the absorption and effectiveness of vitamin C together.

In addition to Ester-C® and citrus bioflavonoid extract, this product also contains rosehip (Rosa canina), acerola (Malpighia punicifolia), and BioPerine® (Piper nigrum L. extract).
