The
standard Vitamin C, known as Ascorbic Acid , is the least expensive and most
common form of Vitamin C. Adding adequate levels of bioflavanoids will aid in
its absorption. A buffered Vitamin C is available for individuals with a sensitivity
to acidic foods,and the acidic quality of this vitamin in its most practical
form.
Esterfied Vitamin C, known as Ester-C, is a remarkably effective form of Vitamin
C, recognized for its absorption capabilities. It is created by having Vitamin
C interact with a mineral, such as calcium or magnesium, resulting in a form
of Vitamin C which is non-acidic, containing vitamin metabolites identical to
those produced by the body. It is believed that Ester-C enters the bloodstream
and tissues faster, more effectively, and remains in the body tissues much longer
than a non-ester version of Vitamin C. Ester-C is popular for its non-irratating
effect on the stomach. If you use large quantities of Vitamin C, a powdered
version is available in both Ascorbic and Ester-C forms.
A
recommended daily dosage of Vitamin C for an average adult ranges between 500mg-1000mg
of supplementation. Due to its water soluable properties, and ease of excretion,
effective doses of supplemental Vitamin C should be taken in divided doses,
twice daily. Total Health recommends an Ester-C for maximum absorption and retention
in the cells and body tissue and the complete care and protection of health
and immunity.
