Vitamin C/Bioflavonoids

Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin essential to the body's health and is especially important for maintaining healthy skin. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin.

Unlike most other animals, humans cannot make their own vitamin C. With vitamin C being part of more than 300 bodily functions, life itself depends on daily replenishment. Its primary function is to maintain collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of skin, ligaments, bones and teeth, and for the strength of blood vessel walls. In addition, vitamin C plays an important part in the absorption of iron, which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells. It also plays a role in the utilization of folic acid, one of the B-complex vitamins.

It is well noted that vitamin C is destroyed by food preparation more than any other nutrient. It is also well known that the body does not store vitamin C, but tends to excrete excess amounts.

Bioflavonoids are a companion to vitamin C. Two of the most active forms are hesperidin and rutin. Calcium ascorbate is a buffered (less acidic) form of vitamin C.

Ester-C? ascorbate is a revolutionary form of vitamin C. Metabolites in Ester-C? ascorbate help the vitamin get into the bloodstream faster and in larger amounts with less waste. In addition, these Ester-C? metabolites help the vitamin penetrate white blood cells more efficiently. White blood cells are known to have very high levels of vitamin C which they require for their metabolism. This, in turn, influences the white blood cells' ability to perform their important role as a critical component of the immune system.

Ester-C? vitamin C, with a neutral pH, is naturally processed in purified water, not solvents, and is proven to be better absorbed by the cells for maximum protection of the immune system.
