Ester-C 500mg Chewable Berries (90 Tabs)

Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant and is among the most well-documented nutrients. Most mammals can produce vitamin C as needed, but the human body has lost this ability over the course of its evolution, so an adequate daily intake of this vitamin is necessary to maintain good health. Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables but is easily destroyed by heat, cooking, processing, and storage; furthermore, our bodies quickly eliminate it in urine. Vitamin C levels may be inadequate in the presence of physical and mental stress, in elderly individuals, and in those with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and age-related eye diseases.

Vitamin C is primarily known for strengthening the immune system by supporting and enhancing the function of white blood cells. It is also essential for collagen formation, which is a basic component of many tissues and a crucial constituent of skin rejuvenation. Vitamin C also helps reduce histamine release by the body, thus alleviating allergic symptoms. There are many forms of vitamin C, of which ascorbic acid is the most basic form. Ester-C® brand calcium ascorbate is a suitable choice for users seeking a clinically proven form of vitamin C that is gentler on the body than ascorbic acid.
