Ester-C, is a patented form of Vitamin C, that is pH-balanced and
time-released. It is a patented form of ascorbyl palmitate. An ester, in
general, is the combination of an acid and an alcohol. With Ester-C, the
acid is ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Ester-C is the premium brand of vitamin
C esters available. Some of the advantages of Ester-C are several hours
after taking it, the vitamin C concentration in the blood is twice as
high as it would be after taking buffered or regular vitamin-C. The loss
of vitamin C via urine after taking Ester C is six times lower than after
taking ordinary vitamin C and Ester-C is the only form of vitamin C that
does not cause digestive problems, not even when using large amounts.
Ester-C is the only form of vitamin C that does not affect tooth enamel. Ordinary vitamin C, especially the popular "chewable form" is very bad for
teeth and should be strongly discouraged.
In
summary, in comparison with ordinary vitamin C, Ester-C is much better
taken up by the body, stays in the body longer, and is used more
efficiently by cells and connective tissues. Furthermore it does not cause
the digestive problems of traditional vitamin C and it does not affect
tooth enamel.
Vitamin C is vital to collagen formation, the connective substance in all
cells. As an antioxidant, it helps defend cells from the effects of smoke
and pollution and other highly reactive substances called free radicals. Vitamin C promotes healthy teeth and gums, helps in the absorption of
iron, aids in the maintenance of normal connective tissue, and
promotes wound healing. It also helps the body's immune system. A lack of
vitamin C is usually found in malnourished older adults, leading to
nutritional disease such as scurvy.
