The best known of the all vitamins, vitamin C plays an important role in strengthens our immune system. It helps to activate antibodies and the white blood cells which are our body’s first line of defense against invading germs. The other functions of vitamin C in the body include:

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that can’t be made by our body. Being a water-soluble vitamin, it also can’t be stored in our body, and a continuous supply must be obtained from the diet. Our need for vitamin C is greatly increased during periods of physical, mental and biochemical stress. Smokers, chronic alcoholics, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly also need larger amounts of vitamin C.

Effervescent is a faster way to absorb nutrients compared to conventional tablets/capsules that require time to break down and dissolved in the digestive system in order for them to be absorbed through the intestinal lining.

The presence of carbon dioxide also enhances the permeability of the vitamins by altering the paracellular pathway in the intestines.

According to the Physician’s Desk Reference, vitamins in tablets/capsules form are only 50-70% absorbed by the body, compared to the 98% absorption from liquid forms that bypass the digestive processes, which are absorbed faster, in higher concentrations.

Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate is a unique and patented form of vitamin C. It is made using a proprietary, water-based manufacturing process without the use of alcohol or other harmful chemicals.
