 Ester-C® Plus is a unique form of vitamin C that is created through a patented, water-based process that combines vitamin C and calcium. Ester-C Plus is non-acidic and should be well tolerated by those who are sensitive to the acidic nature of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological functions. It is essential for the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which are the building materials of all connective tissues such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone, and is necessary for normal wound - healing and capillary health. Vitamin C participates in the biosynthesis of camitine, and certain neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine and serotonin. Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants. It is a water-soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant that reacts directly with superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen. Laboratory studies show that vitamin C completely protects lipids in plasma and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) against atherogenic peroxidative damage. In addition, vitamin C interacts with glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid, and regenerates vitamin E. The antioxidant functions of vitamin C appear to have clinical significance in providing protection from free radical damage to the eyes, lungs, circulatory and immune systems. Ester-C Plus incorporates the added benefits of pycnogenol and bioflavonoids. Indications:
