Solgar Ester-C Plus - Vitamin C Capsules

Plenty of people want the support of a daily vitamin C supplement but find that standard ascorbic acid feels rough on the stomach. Solgar Ester-C Plus takes a different route. It uses a non-acidic, pH-neutral form of vitamin C built around a calcium ascorbate complex, so you get your daily C in a form that tends to sit more comfortably. It comes in two strengths, 500mg and 1000mg, with several capsule counts to match how you like to buy.

What makes Ester-C Plus different

Ordinary vitamin C is ascorbic acid, which is naturally acidic. Solgar uses a special manufacturing process to form a calcium ascorbate metabolite complex instead. The result is non-acidic and gentle on the digestive system, and the formula is designed to help your body hold on to vitamin C rather than flushing it out quickly.* If acidic C has bothered you before, this is the kind of formula worth trying.

How it supports your health

Vitamin C is one of the essential nutrients we all need, and many of us simply don't get enough from food alone. It works as an antioxidant that helps your body manage free radicals, and it supports immune health day to day.* Vitamin C also plays a part in the body's natural production of collagen, which is one reason it's tied to healthy skin.* Solgar rounds out the formula with citrus bioflavonoids, acerola, rose hips, and rutin, plant compounds that traditionally accompany vitamin C in whole foods.

Who it's a good fit for

Ester-C Plus suits anyone looking to keep up a steady vitamin C routine, especially people who've had trouble with the acidity of regular C tablets. The 500mg capsules are a sensible everyday dose, while the 1000mg size suits those who prefer a higher single serving. One honest note: because this is a calcium ascorbate form, it does contribute a small amount of calcium, so keep that in mind if you already track calcium from other sources.

How to take it
