This product features Ester-C, a unique and patented form of Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) that is non-acidic, making it gentle on the stomach and often touted for better absorption and retention in the body. The inclusion of citrus bioflavonoids may enhance Vitamin C's bioavailability and antioxidant properties. While its 1000mg dose is effective, the relatively high price per serving makes it less competitive from a cost perspective compared to the larger serving size Ester-C product from the same brand or other forms of Vitamin C.
- Uses Ester-C, a buffered, non-acidic form known for being gentle on the stomach.
- Includes citrus bioflavonoids, which can enhance Vitamin C absorption and efficacy.
- Delivers a robust 1000mg dose per serving for comprehensive support.
- The price per serving (23 cents) is considerably higher than many equally effective Vitamin C alternatives, including other Ester-C options from the same brand.
- The 90-serving bottle is less cost-effective than the 180-serving option from American Health.
