To support your cardiovascular and immune system health, Ester-C® is manufactured by a unique, water-based process that combines Vitamin C with Calcium using no chemical solvents.* This process creates a patented mixture of Calcium Ascorbate and C metabolites. Ester-C® is non-acidic and gentle on your stomach.* Ester-C® is specially formulated with Citrus Bioflavonoids.
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Vitamin C is a water-soluble compound whose primary function is collagen formation, the protein essential for the formation of connective tissue in skin, vasculature, ligaments and bones.* Collagen is required in the arterial wall to aid in expansion and contraction. By facilitating connective tissue formation, Vitamin C is a necessary component for skin health.* Vitamin C is an antioxidant that directly influences the myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide/halide system.* By modulating this system, Vitamin C stimulates neutrophil motility.* Vitamin C is one of the best antioxidants for fighting free radicals, helping to protect the eyes, lungs, and blood from free radical damage.*
For immune system support, Vitamin C has been shown to promote the response of lymphocytes to mitogens.* In addition, Vitamin C supports the phagocytic functions of polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils and supports the adherence of these cells to the vascular endothelium.*
