Ester C® Plus
 Vitamin C is the body's most important water-soluble antioxidant nutrient and is involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions.
Ester-C® is a non-acidic form of vitamin C created by a unique process that results in a patented mixture of calcium ascorbate and vitamin C metabolites. Bioflavonoids complement the action of the Ester-C® calcium ascorbate in this formula.

A study in the Journal of Epidemiology (May, 1992) was reported to show that people who have high blood levels of vitamin C live 6 years longer than those who have lower blood levels. A report from UCLA in 1992, showed that men who took 800 mg a day of vitamin C lived six years longer than those who consumed the FDA's recommended daily allowance of 60 mg a day. The study evaluated 11,348 participants over a ten year period of time, and showed that high vitamin C intake extended average life span and reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease by 42%. This study was published in the journal Epidemiology (1992; 3:3, pp 194-202).
Four years later a nine year study involving 11,178 participants was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (August 1996) showing that people who took vitamin C and E supplements experienced a 42% reduction in overall mortality.
