Analysis

American Health's Ester-C 500 mg With Citrus Bioflavonoids (note: ingredient list shows 1000mg Vitamin C) provides 1000mg of Vitamin C in the patented Ester-C (Calcium Ascorbate) form. This specific form is favored by many for its non-acidic nature, making it gentle on sensitive stomachs and reducing the likelihood of digestive upset often associated with standard ascorbic acid. The added citrus bioflavonoids work synergistically with Vitamin C, improving its absorption and enhancing its powerful antioxidant benefits. With over 10,000 reviews, consumer satisfaction appears high, affirming its effectiveness and tolerability. While the price per serving ($0.21) is not the lowest, it reflects the advanced formulation and added co-factors.

Pros
  • Ester-C (Calcium Ascorbate) form is non-acidic and gentle on the stomach, reducing digestive discomfort.
  • Includes citrus bioflavonoids, which enhance Vitamin C absorption and provide additional antioxidant benefits.
  • Delivers an effective 1000mg dose of Vitamin C, suitable for robust daily support.
Cons
  • Price per serving is moderately higher compared to simpler ascorbic acid formulations.
  • Tablets might be large for some individuals, making them harder to swallow.
  • While Ester-C claims superior absorption, benefits over highly soluble standard ascorbic acid forms can vary by individual.
