Special Benefits ESTER C PATENTED Ester C was developed by Inter-Cal Corporation of Arizona after years of research designed to find a better Vitamin C. Ester C is processed in purified water and the Ester C compound is recovered by gentle drying. This process is now patented. IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT White blood cells have very high levels of Vitamin C, which they require for their metabolism. This influences their ability to perform as a critical component of the immune system. High levels of intracellular ascorbate aid the immune activity of white blood cells. Ester C ascorbate increases white blood cell ascorbate levels are above those obtained with standard ascorbic acid. MORE EFFECTIVE During the unique natural process used to make Ester C, an important natural metabolite of Vitamin C Calcium Threonate is formed. Biochemically identical to the form produced in the body during metabolism of Vitamin C in the liver, the Calcium Threonate found in Ester C has special benefits which enhance the effectiveness of Vitamin C. Ester C is readily and rapidly absorbed into the blood stream and enters the white blood cells where its main actions take place. NEUTRAL pH Compared to other forms of Vitamin C, Ester C offers real advantages related to absorption, utilisation in the body and tolerance. Ester C's neutral pH (pH7) means there is less possibility of stomach upset or discomfort. NEW RESEARCH New research has found that ordinary Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C, may damage tooth enamel when it is in a chewable form.

The acidity of ordinary Vitamin C is so harsh it can damage healthy tooth enamel, making it highly porous and susceptible to erosion and cavities. TOOTH FRIENDLY Ester C offers more benefits than Ascorbic Acid and doesnt promote tooth decay. Ester C can help fight the bacteria that cause cavities and plaque formation on teeth. IMMUNE BOOSTING ECHINACEA Echinacea purpurea is added for its beneficial effects on the immune system and is suitable in situations of high stress or infections. Echinacea is beneficial in helping to maintain the body's natural resistance to bacterial infections and allergies and other conditions.
