The use of Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate is a key quality feature, as it is a buffered, non-acidic form of Vitamin C. The inclusion of citrus bioflavonoids further enhances the product's nutritional profile, mimicking natural complexes.
This American Health product delivers 1000mg of Vitamin C per serving in the form of Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate, which is a buffered, non-acidic form often chosen by those with sensitive stomachs. This dosage is divided into two tablets, providing 500mg per tablet, allowing for flexibility in intake. Ester-C aims to offer sustained vitamin C levels in the body.
Complementing the Vitamin C, the product includes 400mg of Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex. Bioflavonoids are plant compounds that are naturally found alongside Vitamin C in fruits and vegetables, and they are believed to support Vitamin C's activity and contribute their own antioxidant benefits. This makes the product a well-rounded option for robust Vitamin C support and general antioxidant contributions.
