SOLGAR's ESTER-C® PLUS 1000 features an "Enhanced Vitamin C" formula that distinguishes itself by utilizing a unique, non-acidic version of Vitamin C called Ester C, which improves absorption in the body. This patented blend is exclusive to Solgar and is complemented by natural plant bioflavonoids, found naturally alongside Vitamin C in fruits and vegetables. Unlike conventional Vitamin C, Ester C is easier on the digestive system, typically causing less irritation. Additionally, Ester C has a prolonged presence in immune cells compared to standard Vitamin C, thereby providing enhanced support for immune function. As a water-soluble vitamin, Vitamin C plays a crucial role in combating free radicals and fostering a robust immune response. Its numerous health advantages include promoting skin, bone, and dental health as well as alleviating fatigue. Key benefits include: • Support for normal immune system function. • Contributing to collagen production necessary for healthy skin, bones, teeth, and cartilage. • Prolonged presence in immune cells for up to 24 hours. • Antioxidant protection. • Maintenance of a healthy nervous system. • Mitigation of fatigue and tiredness. • Improved absorption of iron and reduced gastrointestinal issues.
