Ingredients explained
Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and a cofactor for collagen-producing enzymes, and calcium ascorbate provides a non-acidic form that may be gentler on the stomach.
Caution: High intakes may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food if sensitive.
Citrus bioflavonoids (from C-Sorb Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex)
Citrus bioflavonoids such as hesperidin and rutin may help support antioxidant activity and vitamin C recycling in the body.
Caution: May interact with certain medications or cause mild digestive upset in sensitive individuals.
Calcium (from Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate)
Calcium supports cellular signaling and enzyme functions, and here it serves as the mineral counterion forming the buffered vitamin C salt.
Caution: Total daily calcium from all sources matters; consider overall intake if you use other calcium-containing products.
How they work together
Vitamin C provides primary antioxidant and collagen support, while citrus bioflavonoids may help protect vitamin C and support its activity. The calcium ascorbate form buffers acidity, which may make vitamin C easier on the stomach for daily use.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, or have any medical condition, consult your doctor before use. Stop use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People with a history of kidney stones or high iron levels may need caution with high-dose vitamin C. Those with citrus sensitivities should consider the presence of citrus bioflavonoids.
Storage: Store at room temperature.
