Analysis

American Health's Ester-C 500 mg with Citrus Bioflavonoids provides 1000mg of Vitamin C per serving (the product name is confusing, likely suggesting 500mg per capsule if two are needed for 1000mg, but ingredient list says 1000mg) in the form of Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate, a patented, non-acidic, and highly bioavailable form of Vitamin C. The inclusion of 400mg of Citrus Bioflavonoids is a significant plus, as bioflavonoids naturally occur with Vitamin C and are believed to enhance its absorption and antioxidant activity. While the price per serving ($0.26) for this 30-serving pack is higher than some basic ascorbic acid options, the enhanced bioavailability and stomach-friendliness often justify the cost for many users. This is a very popular product with over 15k reviews.

Pros
  • Utilizes Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate, a patented, non-acidic form of Vitamin C known for enhanced bioavailability and gentleness on the stomach.
  • Provides a high 1000mg dose of Vitamin C per serving, which is very effective.
  • Includes a significant amount of Citrus Bioflavonoids (400mg), which synergistically enhance Vitamin C absorption and antioxidant power.
  • Highly popular with excellent online reviews, indicating broad consumer satisfaction.
Cons
  • Price per serving ($0.26) is higher than many basic ascorbic acid products, though justified by the superior formulation.
  • Only 30 servings per bottle, requiring more frequent repurchase for consistent use.
Warnings
  • None specific.
