What is Ester C?
Ester-C is a patented form of Vitamin C that is pH-balanced and
time-released. It is a patented form of ascorbyl palmitate. Ester-C
differs from other Vitamin C supplements in that it will provide
the benefits of Vitamin C over a longer period of time and it is
more bioavailable.
Vitamin C has many important functions in the body. It is a powerful
antioxidant, protecting against oxidative damage to DNA, membrane
lipids and proteins. It is involved in the synthesis of numerous
substances such as collagen, certain hormones and transmitters of
the nervous system, lipids and proteins. It is necessary for proper
immune function. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its
own, nor does it store it. It is therefore important to include
plenty of vitamin C-containing foods in your daily diet.
