Analysis

Solgar's Ester-C Plus provides 1000mg of Vitamin C per serving, utilizing the patented Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate form. This non-acidic form is generally gentler on the stomach and is clinically studied for its improved bioavailability and longer retention in white blood cells compared to standard ascorbic acid. The addition of 25mg of Acerola extract further enhances the formula with natural phytonutrients, supporting Vitamin C's overall efficacy. This makes it a premium choice for those seeking optimal Vitamin C benefits and stomach comfort.

Pros
  • Contains Ester-C, a clinically studied, non-acidic, and highly bioavailable form of Vitamin C.
  • Provides a high 1000mg dosage, suitable for strong immune and antioxidant support.
  • Includes Acerola extract for additional natural phytonutrients.
  • Produced by Solgar, a reputable brand known for quality supplements.
Cons
  • Higher price per serving compared to basic ascorbic acid supplements.
  • The Acerola extract content, while present, is still relatively low compared to products focused on whole-food Acerola.
