Vitamin C
Vitamin C is best known for strengthening the immune system. Studies have shown that 5 grams (5000 mg) of Vitamin C can double the rate of key activities of white blood cells, the soldiers of the immune system. Vitamin C also fights heart disease by assisting with cholesterol metabolism. Most people consume Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, but ascorbic acid passes out of the body quickly, so little of it is absorbed. It can also cause gassiness, bloating, and diarrhea. Ester-CŪ is made from calcium ascorbate formulated through a patented process so that it neutralizes intestinal acids and can therefore be absorbed without discomfort. It also contains a form of calcium, which enhances absorption.
Quercetin
The use of quercetin in Ester-CŪ 1000, rather than citrus-source bioflavonoids, makes this the ideal immune support for individuals who cannot tolerate citrus. Bioflavonoids are potent antioxidants found in plants. They enhance the immune-supporting functions of Vitamin C and provide a number of protective functions within the body. Quercetin is one of the most potent bioflavonoids. It is best known for its anti-inflammatory activity, which results from its ability to inhibit the manufacture and release of histamine and other allergic and inflammatory agents.
Other Important Points about SISU Ester-CŪ 1000
Ester-CŪ can be good for your teeth. In addition to intestinal distress, the acidity caused by ascorbic acid can contribute to tooth decay. But studies show that Ester-CŪ can actually fight tooth decay.
Vitamin C can cause gassiness, bloating, or diarrhea. Although this is much less likely with Ester-CŪ than with regular ascorbic acid, an individual with a sensitive gastrointestinal (GI) system may still experience discomfort. If you experience intestinal discomfort, try a lower dose Ester-CŪ product, such as Ester-CŪ 600 or Chewable Ester-CŪ. Begin with a single tablet or capsule and increase dosage, at different times of day, to bowel tolerance level.
